Benchmark SUV: What's Standard and Available on the 2025 Dodge Durango GT, R/T, and SRT Hellcat

The 2025 Dodge Durango continues its legacy as a performance-oriented three-row SUV that refuses to compromise on capability. With the lineup now streamlined to three distinct models—GT, R/T, and the ferocious SRT Hellcat—each comes standard with all-wheel drive and delivers increasing levels of power and refinement. Celebrating two decades of HEMI power, this year's Durango offers special editions while maintaining its reputation for towing capacity, interior flexibility, and muscular styling.

The Durango stands apart in the crowded SUV marketplace by offering genuine performance credentials wrapped in family-friendly packaging. With up to 50 different seating configurations and 85.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo space behind the front seats, the 2025 Durango balances everyday practicality with the performance DNA that defines the Dodge brand.

2025 Durango GT: Entry-Level Excellence

The GT trim serves as the gateway to the Durango experience, powered by the proven 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine. This powerplant generates 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, delivering responsive acceleration for daily driving. Paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, the GT provides a smooth driving experience while maintaining reasonable fuel efficiency.

Standard features on the GT include heated front seats and steering wheel, providing essential comfort during Canadian winters. The 10.1-inch touchscreen powered by Uconnect 5 dominates the dashboard, angled 7 degrees toward the driver for improved visibility and access. Anti-lock four-wheel disc heavy-duty brakes provide confident stopping power, while the dual rear exhaust with bright tips adds a touch of sportiness to the exterior profile.

The GT's exterior includes body-coloured upper and lower fascias, a black sport grille, and a power liftgate accessible via key fob, overhead console, or rear cargo controls. Standard 20-inch painted Fine Silver aluminum wheels complete the look, with Blacktop Package options available for those seeking a more aggressive appearance.

2025 Durango R/T: HEMI-Powered Performance

Stepping up to the R/T unlocks the classic 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 engine with 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. This substantial power increase transforms the Durango's character, providing authoritative acceleration and enhanced towing capabilities. The R/T includes all GT features while adding sport suspension, performance-tuned steering, and standard rear load-levelling for improved stability.

The R/T's exterior distinguishes itself with a body-colour performance design hood featuring a center air intake and dual heat extractors. Black side Stow 'n Place Roof Rails with integrated, storable cross rails come standard, along with a power sunroof with express open/close and comfort-stop features. A memory system for radio station presets, driver's seat position, exterior mirrors, and the power tilt/telescoping steering wheel adds convenience for multiple drivers.

For enthusiasts seeking maximum performance from their R/T, the optional Tow N Go Package transforms the driving experience with anti-lock four-wheel disc performance brakes featuring Brembo calipers, SRT performance-tuned steering, and a high-performance exhaust with adaptive damping. This package increases the R/T's top speed to 233 km/h and includes specialized Track, Sport, Snow, and Tow drive modes for optimized performance in various conditions.

2025 Durango SRT Hellcat: Uncompromising Power

The crown jewel of the lineup, the SRT Hellcat, features the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine producing an astonishing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This makes it the most powerful gasoline-engine SUV ever produced, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 290 km/h. The quarter-mile time of 11.5 seconds (NHRA-certified) puts it in elite performance territory.

The SRT Hellcat comes equipped with a comprehensive performance package, including Brembo brake calipers with two-piece front rotors, a performance-tuned AWD system, and standard high-performance adaptive damping suspension. The exterior features a Gloss Black grille with Granite Crystal inner detail, performance design hood, and P295/45ZR20 all-season performance run-flat tires on 20-by-10-inch wheels.

Inside, the SRT Hellcat offers three rows of seating with standard second-row captain's chairs and a third-row bench seat. The Uconnect 5 system includes unique SRT features like Performance Pages, configurable drive modes, and Race Options that allow you to activate, deactivate, and adjust rpm values for Launch Control and Shift Light features.

Technology and Convenience Across All Trims

All 2025 Durango models come equipped with the 10.1-inch touchscreen powered by Uconnect 5, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The system features a Dodge-themed appearance with black and red accents and vehicle-specific graphics. Interior lighting includes LED map lamps, courtesy door lamps, and Sapphire Blue ambient LED lighting for front-door inside handles and map pockets.

Safety features standard across the lineup include advanced multistage driver and front passenger airbags, supplemental side-curtain airbags for all rows, front-seat-mounted side-thorax airbags, and Rear Cross Path detection. Higher trims add Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, Advanced Brake Assist, and ParkSense front park assist systems.

All models include a substantial 93-litre fuel tank, providing excellent range between fill-ups.
