Model Review: 2027 Dodge Durango

Specs and Features of the 2027 Dodge Durango

The 2027 Dodge Durango is a four-door SUV that puts HEMI® V8 character alongside flexible passenger space and substantial towing capability. It carries Dodge’s performance identity into an SUV body, giving shoppers an alternative to choosing between an enthusiast vehicle and a household hauler. For drivers researching Dodge SUVs in Kinston, that combination is the Durango’s central attraction.

Doug Henry CDJR in Kinston, NC, offers a local point of contact for comparing the lineup: GT HEMI, GT HEMI Plus, GT HEMI Premium, R/T 392, R/T 392 Plus, R/T 392 Premium, SRT® Hellcat, and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. All-wheel drive is standard across the 2027 lineup. Updates emphasize personal expression, including a new GT HEMI Brass Monkey package, expanded R/T 392 choices, and additional Jailbreak seating and wheel options.

2027 Dodge Durango Interior

The Durango cabin keeps the driver involved without forgetting the people riding along. Seating varies by configuration, so choose the passenger layout before deciding which performance badge belongs in your driveway.

Interior Dimensions

• Seating layouts: Five-, six-, or seven-passenger configurations, depending on model and equipment
• Front/second-/third-row legroom: 40.3/38.6/33.5 inches
• Front/second-/third-row headroom: 39.9/39.8/37.8 inches
• Cargo behind the third row: 17.2 cubic feet
• Cargo behind the second row: 43.3 cubic feet
• Maximum cargo with rear seats folded: 85.1 cubic feet

When evaluating the 2027 Durango among SUVs for families, bring the stroller, sports bags, or luggage you actually carry to see if the space fits your needs.

Interior Highlights

• GT HEMI Plus: Nappa leather seating, power front seats, and four-way lumbar adjustment
• Plus comfort equipment: Heated front and second-row seats, with ventilated front seats
• Premium appointments: Leather-wrapped instrument panel, suede headliner, and forged carbon-fiber accents
• SRT Hellcat seating: Nappa leather and Alcantara® materials

Ventilated seating can be useful after an afternoon in North Carolina heat, while lumbar adjustment gives the front passengers more control over their seating position. Premium materials add character without changing the need to verify the actual passenger configuration.

2027 Dodge Durango Exterior

Performance hoods, engine-specific badging, and broad wheel choices give the Durango a visibly muscular identity. Appearance packages let owners choose how much of that attitude to display.

Exterior Dimensions

• Length: 200.8 inches for GT HEMI and R/T 392; 201 inches for SRT Hellcat
• Width at mirrors: 85.5 inches
• Body width: 75.8 inches for GT HEMI; 76.4 inches for R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat
• Height: 72.1 inches at the antenna
• Wheelbase: 119.8 inches
• Ground clearance: 7.8 inches for GT HEMI; 8.0 inches for R/T 392, SRT Hellcat, and GT HEMI with Tow N Go

The longer body also makes a familiar parking maneuver worth trying during a test drive, especially if your routine includes tight spaces around Kinston.

Exterior Highlights

• GT HEMI wheels: Standard 20-by-8-inch Satin Carbon aluminum wheels
• R/T 392 wheels: 20-by-10-inch Forged Satin Carbon wheels
• Brass Monkey package: Bronze-toned wheels and black 345 fender badges with brass tracers on GT HEMI
• Available roof equipment: Power sunroof and black roof rails; integrated Stow ’n Place crossbars on specified packages
• SRT Hellcat details: Lower front splitter and rear spoiler

Roof equipment matters if you carry gear overhead, while wheel finishes and badging let you make the muscle- SUV theme your own.

Exterior Paint Options

• Pitch Black
• B5 Blue
• Destroyer Gray
• Green Machine
• Night Moves
• Red Oxide
• White Knuckle

Pitch Black is new for 2027 and available on every Durango model.

2027 Dodge Durango Performance

Every 2027 Durango starts with V8 power, but the three engine families serve different priorities. Moving upward changes output and performance hardware, not simply cabin decoration.

Engines and Powertrains

• GT HEMI family: 5.7-liter HEMI V8; 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque
• R/T 392 family: 6.4-liter HEMI V8; 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque
• SRT Hellcat family: Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8; estimated 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque

GT HEMI supplies the starting point for V8 response. R/T 392 adds a substantial output increase, while SRT Hellcat is the specialized choice for buyers placing exceptional emphasis on acceleration.

Transmission and Drivetrain

• Automatic transmission: Eight-speed TorqueFlite®; 8HP70 with GT HEMI and R/T 392, 8HP95 with SRT Hellcat
• Manual shift control: Steering-wheel paddle shifters
• Drivetrain: Standard all-wheel drive
• R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat modes: Auto, Sport, Track, Snow, Tow, and Custom

Paddles let the driver select gears without removing hands from the wheel. Drive modes tailor vehicle responses to different situations, so you can drive confidently in various road conditions.

Towing, Payload, and Capability

• GT HEMI: Up to 7,200 pounds of trailer weight
• GT HEMI with Tow N Go: Up to 8,700 pounds
• R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat: Up to 8,700 pounds

Match a camper, boat, or utility trailer by loaded weight, then account for passengers, cargo, hitch equipment, and tongue weight.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

GT HEMI uses independent front and multi-link rear suspension. Tow N Go, R/T 392, and SRT Hellcat add SRT-tuned suspension with Bilstein adaptive damping. Those performance configurations also receive Brembo® six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers.

Fuel requirements also differ: the 5.7-liter recommends 89-octane gasoline and accepts 87, while the 6.4-liter and supercharged 6.2-liter require 91-octane premium.

2027 Dodge Durango Technology

The Durango’s technology story includes everyday entertainment and interfaces tied directly to its performance identity.

Displays and Infotainment

GT HEMI includes Performance Pages for real-time vehicle data. R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat use SRT Performance Pages, giving their cabins a performance-focused information interface.

The goal is useful information without taking attention away from traffic.

Connectivity and Convenience

• GT HEMI and R/T 392 audio: Alpine® nine-speaker premium system with subwoofer
• Premium audio upgrade: Harman Kardon® 19-speaker system with subwoofer and 825-watt amplifier
• Plus memory functions: Radio, driver-seat, and exterior-mirror settings

Audio upgrades can matter on longer trips, while memory functions help shared drivers return to familiar preferences.

2027 Dodge Durango Safety

The Durango combines standard stability and braking systems with assistance features available on select trims and packages.

Driver-Assistance Technology

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop: Included with GT HEMI Plus and R/T 392 Plus equipment
• Lane Departure Warning Plus: Included with GT HEMI Premium and R/T 392 Plus equipment
• Advanced Brake Assist: Included with GT HEMI Premium and R/T 392 Plus equipment

Compare the actual equipment list if following-distance or lane-awareness support is a priority. Do not assume that selecting a more powerful engine automatically includes every assistance feature.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

• Standard braking equipment: Four-wheel anti-lock brakes and Brake Assist
• Standard control systems: Electronic Stability Control and all-speed traction control
• Plus visibility equipment: Automatic high-beam control and power fold-away mirrors

Check sightlines and mirror adjustment from your own driving position.
