What Changed
The all-new Durango wears a stylish exterior wrapped around a unibody structure borrowed from the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee. The curvy new styling is a sharp break from its tall and boxy predecessor. The new model is shorter in height and length and slightly narrower than past models derived from the Dakota pickup truck. Unlike the Grand Cherokee, the Durango offers three rows of seating for up seven passengers. The Durango is offered with a 3.6l V6 and a 5.7l V8. Both engines are offered in RWD and AWD. A five speed automatic is standard. |
