What's New
The 2022 Dodge Durango carries more standard equipment this year, including blind-spot monitoring, a power driver seat, rear parking sensors, bright roof rails, and three-row seating. The supercharged Hellcat model has departed.
Choosing Your Dodge Durango
The Durango comes in five main trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Citadel, and SRT 392. The GT and R/T are available in Plus sub-trims. Pricing starts at $37,070 including destination and tops out at $67,870 for the SRT 392.
Engine Choices
A V6 serves as the Durango's base engine, and two V8s are available.
The SXT and GT come exclusively with the V6 engine. The Citadel starts out with the V6, and the 5.7-liter V8 is available for $3,995. The R/T gets the 5.7-liter as standard. The SRT 392 is powered by the mighty 6.4L V8.
Rear-wheel drive is standard on most trims, and all-wheel drive can be added for $2,600. The SRT 392 is the only model with standard AWD. All trims carry an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Max Towing | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
3.6L V6 | 293 hp | 260 lb-ft | 6,200 pounds | 21 mpg |
5.7L V8 | 360 hp | 390 lb-ft | 8,700 pounds | 17 mpg |
6.4L V8 | 475 hp | 470 lb-ft | 8,700 pounds | 15 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Durango is a midsize crossover with seating for seven across three rows. The Citadel and SRT 392 come with second-row captain's chairs, which reduce capacity to six. The six-passenger setup is available on the R/T for $1,275.
With all rows in use, cargo space is limited to 17.2 cubic feet. Folding the third row opens up a healthy 43.3 cubic feet. With the second row down as well, the Durango can hold up to 85.1 cubic feet, a fine showing for this class.
Safety Features
The SXT and GT come with rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, which isn't much for this class. The good news is that starting with the GT Plus, every Durango also carries adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and front collision mitigation with automatic emergency braking. Automatic high beams are optional on the GT Plus and standard on subsequent trims.
Owing to the Durango's age — the basic design dates back to 2011 — more advanced features like a surround-view camera and a head-up display aren't offered.
Connectivity
The standard infotainment system for the Durango provides an 8.4-inch touchscreen, six Alpine speakers, four USB ports, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The GT Plus is eligible for a Premium Group ($2,845) that includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen, navigation, nine Alpine speakers, and wireless device charging. These items are standard starting with the R/T, along with two USB-C ports.
The R/T Plus gets a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system, which is also available on the Citadel and SRT 392 for $1,085.
2022 Dodge Durango SXT – MSRP From $37,070
The SXT starts off the Durango line with cloth upholstery, a 12-way power driver seat, tri-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, proximity entry, full LED exterior lighting, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. The $1,195 Trailer-Tow Group includes a load-leveling rear suspension, heavy-duty engine cooling, a trailer brake controller, and a hitch receiver with a wiring harness.
There are two appearance packages for the SXT. The Anodized Platinum Package ($995) provides platinum body trim and satin carbon 20-inch wheels. The Blacktop Package adds black 20-inch wheels and extensive black trim for $1,595.
2022 Dodge Durango GT – MSRP From $40,070
The GT picks up heated front seats, a power liftgate, a flat-bottom heated steering wheel, remote start, an anti-theft system, and standard 20-inch wheels. Leather upholstery is available for $995, and a single-pane sunroof costs $1,295. The Trailer-Tow Group continues as an option, as does the Blacktop Package, priced at $1,945 here because it includes a performance hood.
The GT Plus sub-trim ($44,170) carries the full complement of driver assistance features, plus heated rear seats. In addition to its connectivity features, the GT Plus's Premium Group contains automatic high beams, a power-adjustable steering wheel, a cargo cover, and a sunroof.
2022 Dodge Durango R/T – MSRP From $49,220
The R/T receives the 5.7-liter V8, plus a performance hood, suede upholstery, driver memory settings, and a power passenger seat. The Premium Group contents are also standard, except for the sunroof. Leather seats remain optional, along with the Blacktop Package (reduced to $1,395) and the Trailer-Tow Group, which includes a two-speed transfer case on AWD models. A second-row console is available on six-passenger models for $595.
Available on AWD models for $4,995, the Tow N Go Package contains the Trailer-Tow Group, plus an adaptive sport suspension, performance exhaust, Brembo brakes, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, a Track driving mode, and active noise cancelation.
The R/T Plus sub-trim ($53,820) comes with an extended Nappa leather interior with ventilated front seats. The sunroof and Harman Kardon system are also standard. Forged carbon fiber interior trim is available for $995.
2022 Dodge Durango Citadel – MSRP From $51,420
The Citadel comes standard with nearly all the comfort and convenience items available on the lower trims, including the Nappa leather interior and sunroof. Only the Harman Kardon system remains optional. The body wears chrome trim instead of R/T's sporty elements. The Trailer-Tow Group is also standard on Citadel, which is the only model available with the V6 or 5.7-liter V8.
2022 Dodge Durango SRT 392 – MSRP From $67,870
The SRT 392 comes standard with the 6.4-liter V8, AWD, and the performance upgrades in the R/T's Tow N Go Package. Interiors receive front performance seats in suede or optional Laguna leather ($1,595). The $2,495 Premium Interior adds carbon-fiber trim, an upgraded instrument panel, and a suede headliner. The third row may be deleted to conserve weight.
Compare Durango Trims Side-By-Side
The SXT and GT are better equipped than last year, but their lack of active safety technology makes the GT Plus our pick of the V6 models. The Citadel provides V8 performance in an upscale package, which may be better for families than the more raucous R/T. The SRT 392 is a specialty ride for buyers who want all the power they can get — even in a three-row crossover.
