2026 Dodge Durango: Natick Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Dodge Durango at a Glance
The 2026 Durango covers more ground than almost anything else in a three-row SUV wrapper. GT opens the lineup at $38,995 MSRP with a 295-hp V6 (a 360-hp 5.7L HEMI V8 is available too), R/T (392) jumps to a genuinely new 475-hp 6.4L HEMI V8 starting at $49,995, and the range tops out with the 710-hp SRT Hellcat at $79,995 — or the Hellcat with the Jailbreak customization unlock for $995 more. Every trim seats up to seven, tows at least 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, and runs an 8-speed automatic. All figures exclude the roughly $1,995 destination charge. Brigham-Gill Village CDJR sells and services the Durango at 817 Worcester Street in Natick, on Route 9 about a mile before the Natick Mall.
Why the Durango still stands apart
Most three-row SUVs top out with a V6 and call it a day. The Durango doesn't. Dodge builds the same body and chassis around four different engines — a 3.6L Pentastar V6, a 5.7L HEMI V8, a 6.4L HEMI 392 V8, and a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 — so the question isn't really "which SUV" so much as "how much engine do you actually want under a three-row family hauler." For 2026 the V6 is back on GT after a stretch where Dodge leaned all-V8 while HEMI supply caught up, which makes the entry point noticeably more affordable again, and the R/T badge moves to a genuinely new 392-cubic-inch HEMI V8 that's a real step up from the outgoing R/T rather than a rename.
Every 2026 Durango runs the 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic and comes standard with the Uconnect 5 NAV 10.1-inch touchscreen, a digital gauge cluster, and ParkSense front and rear parking sensors with a ParkView backup camera — none of that is held back for the pricier trims. Seating runs up to seven in a 2/3/2 bench arrangement, with 2/2/2 six-passenger captain's chairs and a 2/3/0 five-passenger two-row also available depending on trim.
Four engines, one body
GT starts with the familiar 295-hp 3.6L Pentastar V6 (RWD standard, AWD adds roughly $2,000) and EPA-rates at 18 city / 25 highway with rear drive. Order it with the 5.7L HEMI V8 instead — AWD only, around $43,675 — and output climbs to 360 hp and 390 lb-ft, trading some fuel economy (14/21 EPA) for real V8 pull. R/T (392) is the mid-lineup performance jump: a 475-hp 6.4L HEMI 392 V8 with standard AWD, adaptive damping, and six-piston front Brembo brakes, good for a factory-quoted 4.4-second run to 60 and a 12.9-second quarter mile. At the top, SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Jailbreak share a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 making 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft, with Dodge quoting 3.5 seconds to 60 and a 180-mph top speed. Every version tows at least 6,200 pounds; R/T 392 reaches 8,700 pounds standard, and GT HEMI V8 reaches that same 8,700-pound ceiling with the optional Tow N Go package.

GT
from $38,995 MSRP
V6 or 5.7L HEMI V8, RWD or AWD — the flexible entry point into a new Durango.

A genuinely new 475-hp 6.4L HEMI 392 V8, standard AWD, Brembo brakes.
SRT Hellcat

710 supercharged horsepower in a three-row SUV. Still hard to believe on paper.
SRT Hellcat Jailbreak
from $80,990 MSRP
The same 710-hp Hellcat, unlocked into a much wider palette of colors and wheels.
Seating, cargo and what "three rows" really means here
The Durango's around 85 cubic feet of maximum cargo room (folded flat) is a genuine size-class advantage over most crossover-based three-rows, and it comes from a body-on-unibody platform that was engineered as a truck-adjacent SUV from the start rather than stretched from a sedan. With the third row up there's roughly 17 cubic feet behind it — enough for a real grocery run with all seven seats occupied — and about 43 cubic feet behind the second row. Third-row legroom runs around 33.5 inches, which is usable for kids and shorter adults on the Mass Pike but tight for a full-grown passenger on a long haul; that's the honest tradeoff of a three-row SUV this size, not a Durango-specific flaw.
What Durango owners here are saying
Brigham-Gill Village CDJR carries a 4.6-star Google rating across more than 1,200 reviews, and the Durango has been a fixture in that feedback for well over a decade — this isn't a model the dealership just started stocking. One recent buyer summed up the process: "An excellent car buying experience. Stewart was excellent and knowledgeable friendly courteous he made the whole experience very simple and easy. I would recommend anyone by [Brigham-Gill Village CDJR]. By far away has the best price on my 2017 Dodge Durango of any car dealership in Massachusetts New Hampshire and Rhode Island." — John G. And from a buyer who worked with a salesperson whose name keeps coming up across other Durango reviews too: "Left today with my brand new Durango... Ali was our Sales Rep and by the time we had come back from our Test Drive - had all the numbers laid out for us. No back and forth as with typical dealerships which saves so much time and aggravation!" — Dina L.
Owning one around Natick
The Durango service & repair guide below covers the maintenance rhythm across all four engines and what a MetroWest winter does to a big SUV. The money side — MSRPs by trim, Massachusetts's flat sales tax, and the annual excise bill Natick sends every fall — lives in the pricing & leasing guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a 2026 Dodge Durango?
Yes — the 2026 model year is a substantial refresh under the skin even though the exterior carries over. The V6 returns to GT, R/T moves to an all-new 392-badged 6.4L HEMI V8 with a real power jump over the outgoing R/T, and SRT Hellcat pricing resets lower with the Jailbreak customization program built in as a low-cost unlock. Two new colors, B5 Blue and Green Machine, join the palette.
How much does a 2026 Dodge Durango cost?
MSRPs run from $38,995 for the GT V6 to $79,995 for the SRT Hellcat, all before the roughly $1,995 destination charge, taxes, title and registration. The pricing guide breaks down exactly what Massachusetts adds on top and how leasing compares with buying.
Is the Durango worth buying over a typical crossover three-row?
If towing capacity, a body-on-unibody platform, or an actual HEMI V8 matter to you, yes — very few three-row SUVs at any price offer the Durango's range of powertrains, from a fuel-conscious V6 up to a supercharged 710-hp Hellcat. If you never plan to tow and want maximum third-row legroom, a car-based crossover may fit better; the trim guides above go trim by trim on what each one actually adds.
How many people and how much cargo does a Durango hold?
Up to seven with the 2/3/2 bench, or six with available 2/2/2 captain's chairs; a five-passenger two-row configuration is also available. Cargo runs from roughly 17 cubic feet behind a raised third row to around 85 cubic feet with everything folded flat.
What else should I cross-shop against the Durango?
Shoppers in this segment typically also look at the Jeep Grand Cherokee L (built on the same dealer lot here), Ford Explorer, and Kia Telluride for the family-hauler end, or the Dodge Charger Daytona and full-size trucks for the performance-minded end. The Durango's pitch against all of them is the same: genuine engine choice in one body, from commuter-friendly V6 to Hellcat.

The short version
The 2026 Durango's real story is choice: the same three-row body wrapped around anything from a value-minded V6 to a genuinely new 475-hp 392 to a 710-hp Hellcat, with the Uconnect 5 screen and the safety basics standard across the board.
