2015 Dodge Durango

The interiors feature an all-black appearance with cloth seating on SXT and premium Capri leather seating on Limited, while a dual exhaust yields an impressive 295 horsepower and up to 25 miles per gallon.

The Dodge Brand signature Blacktop Package is now available on the 2015 Durango SXT, Limited and R/T models. Blacktop design cues include a Gloss Black crosshair grille, Gloss Black badge and Gloss Black 20-inch aluminum wheels.

Also new for 2015, is the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system. Beats by Dr. Dre founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine worked side-by-side with the engineering team at the Chrysler Group to design and tune the 10-speaker audio system.

A new red Nappa leather seating package is available on Durango R/T models. Previously only available on Charger and Challenger in the Dodge lineup, class-exclusive red Nappa leather complements the menacing and sporty attitude of the R/T exterior features.

The Dodge Durango’s rear-wheel-drive-based drivetrain is the foundation for its outstanding on-road driving performance. Available all-wheel drive (AWD) further enhances driver confidence by leveraging the SUV’s 50/50 weight distribution.

Durango’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine generates 290 horsepower (295 horsepower on Rallye, Blacktop and Citadel). The Pentastar V-6 engine allows Durango to tow a best-in-class 6,200 pounds. The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine produces 360 horsepower with a tow rating of 7,400 pounds.

The 2015 Durango features Chrysler Group’s eight-speed automatic transmission with rotary shifter and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
