Canada Press Kit: 2025 Dodge Durango

Windsor, Ontario November 13, 2024 - The Dodge Durango continues to dominate its segment with proven performance and a combination of uncompromised utility, advanced technology, class-leading towing, confident driving dynamics and iconic styling. For the 2025 model year, Dodge is honouring two decades of HEMI®-powered Dodge Durango production with the announcement of a series of special-edition vehicles, including special-edition versions of the most powerful gas engine SUV ever, the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat.

The Durango SRT Hellcat leads the lineup of the iconic muscle SUV, delivering an adrenaline-pumping 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. The Durango SRT Hellcat reaches 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (km/h) (60 mph) in just 3.5 seconds, covers the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-certified quarter-mile in an elapsed time of 11.5 seconds and pegs a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph).

The Dodge Durango 2025 model-year lineup includes the GT, R/T and SRT Hellcat. The Durango lineup features modern exterior styling and a driver-oriented cockpit, with a 10.1-inch touchscreen powered by the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. The three-row SUV offers flexibility to suit any family, with 50 seating configurations and 85.1 maximum cubic feet of cargo space. The Durango’s performance capabilities also include plenty of brawny strength to tow your toys, thanks to a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of up to 3,946 kg (8,700 pounds.)

Ranging from efficient V-6 power to the performance of the SRT Hellcat, the Durango offers an option for every modern muscle-car performance enthusiast with a family. With the ability to seat up to seven in its three rows of seats, the Durango maintains its claim of being a family-friendly SUV, one equipped with Dodge muscle car attitude and extremely capable with best-in-class towing leadership at every trim level.
