The 2026 Dodge Durango redesign cranked up the excitement for SUV fans across the board. With a bolder look and stronger performance, this new version still keeps the muscle car features you'd expect from Dodge. For Dallas-Fort Worth drivers hauling kids to soccer or boats to the lake, this redesigned Durango brings something truly special to Texas roads. Our team at Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (CJDR) Lewisville will provide you with an overview of the 2026 Dodge Durango's redesign.
Bold Exterior Design Changes
The 2026 Dodge Durango's new body style means business. Its downturned grille, wide dark bumper, and rectangular headlights (with upper and lower LED light bars) add a cool modern look. The profile features crisp lines and a flat roof that slopes into a liftgate spoiler.
After an eight-year hiatus, the iconic B5 Blue color is back. Dodge first introduced B5 Blue in the original High Impact colors from the late '60s and early '70s, which made legends such as the Charger and Coronet R/T stand out. Green Machine is another new 2026 Dodge Durango color, while the Blacktop Redline Package adds a visual punch.
It's not all about looks, though. You can get wheels up to 20 inches and add a Class IV trailer hitch for serious hauling. At 200.8 inches long, 75.8 inches wide, and 72.1 inches tall, the Durango commands attention while still fitting into normal parking spots. This SUV seamlessly blends old-school muscle with new-school utility.
Premium Interior and Technology
Inside the 2026 Durango, you'll find a responsive 10.1-inch touch screen running Uconnect 5. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you ditch those annoying cables, making things easier for everyone inside.
If you have a large family, the 2026 Dodge Durango's interior has you covered with 50 seating layouts that accommodate up to seven people, as well as captain's chairs or bench seating in the second row. There's plenty of room for all your gear, too, with 17.2 cubic feet with everyone aboard, 43.3 cubic feet with the third row down, and a massive 85.1 cubic feet with just front seats up. The cabin's filled with nice materials and smart storage spots, such as in-floor bins that keep your stuff organized and out of sight.
Powertrain Options and Performance
Let's examine the 2026 Dodge Durango's specifications. It comes standard with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that gets 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. You can also opt for a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 that makes 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. If you want even more power, the SRT models come with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI engine that produces 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, making passing traffic on Highway 121 feel effortless.
Towing power is where this SUV shines. GT HEMI V-8s with Tow 'n Go, and SRT Hellcat models have a best-in-class towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. Even the V-6 GT manages 6,200 pounds, plenty for most recreational equipment. The GT also gets decent EPA ratings of 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.
2026 Dodge Durango Trim Levels
Dodge offers seven Durango trims for 2026: the GT, GT HEMI V-8, GT Plus, GT Plus HEMI V-8, GT Premium HEMI V-8, SRT Hellcat, and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. The base GT trim comes with cloth seats, a power driver seat, heated front seats, and a heated leather steering wheel. Move up to the GT Plus, and you'll get leather-trimmed seats and a power sunroof, while the GT Premium adds a suede headliner and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system.
For a one-of-a-kind ride, opt for the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak, which unlocks over 6 million possible combinations. Pick from six colors, six wheel designs, six badge colors, five seat options with three layouts, five stripe choices, four brake caliper colors, and four seat belt colors.
Safety Features and Driver-Assistance Technology
Dodge has designed every 2026 Durango with safety in mind. All models come standard with rear parking sensors and blind-spot monitors, making backing out of crowded Lewisville shopping areas or changing lanes on busy freeways safer. Available Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop watches for trouble ahead, while cameras and sensors help keep you aware of what's happening all around your vehicle.
Choose the GT Plus or higher trims, and you'll add adaptive cruise control that maintains a safe distance between you and other cars on I-35. All these systems work together to protect your family.

Pricing and Value Proposition
The 2026 Dodge Durango's MSRP starts at $38,995 for the base GT. Moving through the lineup, you'll find the GT HEMI V-8 at $43,290, GT Plus at $46,190, GT Plus HEMI V-8 at $46,890, GT Premium HEMI V-8 at $49,890, and then a jump to $80,590 for the SRT Hellcat or $81,585 for the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. The GT HEMI V-8 currently stands as the most affordable all-wheel-drive V-8 vehicle available today, putting serious power within reach of families in Texas.
Stack the Durango against other three-row SUVs, and it delivers even more value for money, especially with V-8 power now standard across most trims. Nothing else combines this towing power, family space, and sports-car attitude at these prices.
