Nearly two decades will separate the launch of the third-generation Dodge Durango from the upcoming fourth-generation model. Dodge will replace the current Durango by the end of the decade with one that will ride on a Stellantis platform, which likely means we’ll see a series of new powertrain options, too.
The current-generation Durango launched for 2011, and Dodge has updated and refreshed the model several times since. The SUV eventually received the same high-powered SRT Hellcat treatment as the last-generation Charger and Challenger, and it remains in production today with 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque.
It’s unclear what the next-generation Durango will offer under the hood. Stellantis has recently introduced new inline-four and inline-six powertrains, but Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler are still working hard to keep the V-8 alive with the new architecture. So anything’s possible.
