2022 Dodge Durango Model Review - Scottsdale, AZ

What's New for the 2022 Dodge Durango?

For the 2022 model year, blind-spot monitoring and third-row seating are now standard throughout the lineup. Meanwhile, trims outfitted with Dodge's popular Blacktop package receive an SRT performance hood and all-season tires.

2022 Trims & Features

With last year's supercharged SRT Hellcat model being discontinued, Durango fans now have seven trims to choose from. Newly standard equipment makes the entry-level Durango SXT an even stronger value than before. Its easy-to-use Uconnect infotainment system features an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Other highlights include proximity keyless entry, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Larger 20-inch alloy wheels and a dual exhaust help give the Durango GT and GT Plus a more powerful look. Additional niceties consist of heated front seats, a power liftgate, and a remote start.

Drivers seeking more luxury and performance can step up to the V8-powered Durango R/T or R/T Plus. Its upgraded infotainment system features a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone pairing and navigation. Leather upholstery gives the interior a high-end feel. A nine-speaker premium audio system and wireless charging are also found on the Durango R/T.

The Citadel trim is even more upscale. It brings a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and second-row captain's chairs.

Atop the range sits the high-performance Durango SRT 392. Aside from packing an even more potent Hemi V8 engine, this trim also adds an adaptive suspension and race-inspired Brembo brakes. All-wheel drive comes standard.

2022 Dodge Durango Horsepower

Most drivers will be more than satisfied with the Durango's Pentastar V6 engine, which develops up to 295 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the wheels. Another notch up the performance ladder is Dodge's 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine. It pumps out a brawny 360 horsepower. An even more exciting 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine comes equipped on the electrifying SRT 392 trim. With an estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds, the Durango SRT 392 can deliver a serious adrenaline rush. Not only is this SUV engaging to drive, but it can also tow up to 8,700 pounds.

Dodge Durango Safety

The 2022 Dodge Durango is built to be a secure family hauler. Dodge has further bolstered the SUV's safety profile by making blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert a standard feature. Several other accident-avoidance technologies are available, including automatic emergency braking.
