Are you searching for a car that keeps the entire family cruising along in safety and comfort? Look no further than the 2018 Dodge Durango, packed with features that make it the ultimate family vehicle.
Power
This midsize three-row SUV packs astounding power to get you where you need to be. Available in rear- or front-wheel drive configurations, the Durango also comes with three muscular engine options to best suit your family’s needs. The base model is equipped with a very respectable 3.6-liter V-6 engine that will happily suit most drivers.
Those seeking quicker highway acceleration will appreciate the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8. The larger 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 is only available in the vehicle’s high-performance SRT model and is easily the most powerful engine in the midsize SUV segment. This engine can get up to 60 mph in as little as 4.4 seconds. All three engines come with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission.
Safety
Safety features are among the most important criteria when considering a family car, and the Durango definitely does not disappoint. Standard on the SRT model, all other trim levels can opt for the suite of impressive safety features including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warning. Additional blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is available. All trim levels come equipped with a rearview camera.
Interior Cargo Space
Whether you are carting groceries, sports equipment, or backpacks for the day-to-day school carpool run, a spacious cargo area is an essential consideration. The 2018 Dodge Durango is nearly unrivaled in its class with 84.5 cubic feet of cargo room when both back seats are folded down. The front passenger seat also collapses to provide additional room when transporting exceptionally long items. With all seating rows in use, the Durango boasts an impressive 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row, enough space to fit an astonishing 12 suitcases.
Seating
The flexibility of the Durango’s interior reveals up to 50 different seating configurations to customize your passenger and cargo carrying needs. The Durango seats up to seven passengers in plush, cloth seats or available Nappa leather-trimmed seats. Second-row Fold and Tumble captain chairs allow for easy movement between the second and third rows.
Powered front row seats are available with ventilated heating and cooling for a supremely comfortable ride. Passengers in the back seats are not overlooked, with access to center console access to vent controls and USB ports. If you’re transporting little ones, the second row comes equipped with Latch child seat connectors for easy installation. The third-row seats include upper tethers.
Technology
The Durango’s Uconnect systems keep all of the controls close at hand for simple customization of navigation, audio, and climate options. A large 7-inch touch screen keeps everything accessible with Bluetooth, voice command, and more. The steering wheel also has controls to make quick adjustments without taking your eyes off of the road.
