The Dodge Durango breaks through expectations as a three-row midsize SUV with impressive styling and power. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The muscular build turns heads, as it has for many years while giving you the power you need to pull a heavy load. This is the perfect SUV for your family of seven to enjoy a weekend by the lake, head out for dinner, or go to a relative\u2019s house. You\u2019ll find something in the Durango not offered in any other midsize SUV, except the Jeep Grand Cherokee L; a V8 engine. Will this SUV become the vehicle you drive every day?<\/p>\n

Predictable Driving at a High Level in the 2022 Dodge Durango<\/h2>\n

Three impressive engines offer various power levels, which we\u2019ll cover later. Once you find the right powertrain for this SUV, the drive presents itself as comfortable, agile, composed, and quick. The heft of the Durango doesn\u2019t appear to hinder its performance on any road. While not a sports car by any means, this is a Dodge that brings the muscle and has the steering and suspension to back up that power with a controlled performance. Go ahead, drop the kids off at school and find some unoccupied roads for a bit of fun driving in this impressive SUV.<\/p>\n

2022 Brings New Qualities to the Durango<\/h2>\n

Dodge gives you more for the drive you\u2019ll make in this midsize SUV. The Durango now has more standard safety tech, more driver assistance features in the Plus Group, and a standard remote engine starting. Additional comfort items include heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate for the GT model. If you drive the SXT trim, you\u2019ll now see standard three-row seating and rear parking sensors to give you more of the qualities you desire.<\/p>\n

The Interior is Functional and Flexible<\/h2>\n

Maybe functional and flexible are boring words, but they give you a cabin area that works great for your family when put into action. All Dodge Durango models have standard three-row seating, but you can check the box for captain\u2019s chairs in the middle for more comfortable seating<\/a><\/strong>. The captain\u2019s chairs slide and tilt easily, offering spacious access to the third row of seats. That third row is best for children, but adults can fit in a pinch. The materials used in the Durango match the trim levels well, with the SXT offering some plastics, while the Citadel model is impressively luxurious with its Nappa leather upholstery.<\/p>\n

A Dodge SUV You Recognize Immediately<\/h2>\n

No other crossover SUV in the market looks like the Durango. This vehicle has distinct curves that remind you of a muscle car on an SUV frame. The aggressive and muscular build gives you a substantial vehicle you want to drive, whether it\u2019s time to take the family out for ice cream or you want to venture deep into the woods. Sporty trim levels, R\/T and SRT 392 offer unique appearance items to make them stand out more than this specialDodge SUV already does.<\/p>\n
