The three-row family SUV gains fresh package options and expanded customization choices, with the updated lineup arriving in showrooms this fall.

Even as fuel prices hit a four-year peak, the distinctive rumble of a strong V-8 continues to draw enthusiasts. The Dodge Durango now offers only eight-cylinder engines, making it a distinctive choice among three-row family haulers for those willing to accept higher fuel bills. The 2027 lineup also delivers strong value for buyers seeking V-8 power along with seating for up to seven.

Entry-level GT Hemi models use a 5.7-liter V-8 rated at 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive come standard, with pricing beginning at $45,670. This represents an increase of nearly $3000 compared to the prior all-wheel-drive base model that used a 295-hp 3.6-liter V-6. Shoppers preferring six cylinders may consider alternatives such as the Honda Pilot or the nonhybrid Hyundai Palisade. Those drawn to V-8 performance will find the Durango appealing, especially since higher GT trims add upscale equipment. The Plus and Premium versions start at $49,270 and $52,270. A new Brass Monkey package for 2027 brings unique fender badges along with special 20-inch wheels.
