The original Durango won a lot of hearts with 7-passenger seating and optional V8 power. The 2nd generation Durango retains these characteristics, adding some unique styling and available HEMI power. Pricing for the new Durango varies from $30k for a V6 base model to almost $40k for a loaded HEMI powered model. Despite a mid-sized profile, the Durango has fairly low fuel economy performance.

Updated Durango features a redesigned hood, grille, fascia, fenders and new wheel designs. New features include electronic stability control, ultrasonic parking assistance and a tire pressure monitoring system.
