2026 Dodge Durango GT HEMI Plus V8 AWD

Imagine starting your Saturday morning in the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of Claremont, CA, loading up the kids and their gear for a soccer tournament or a trip to the botanical gardens. This SUV provides the presence and capability required to navigate the busy streets of Southern California while maintaining a level of sophistication that fits perfectly in any suburban driveway. Whether you are heading out for a community event or simply managing the daily school run, the Durango offers a seamless blend of muscle and utility that makes every mile more engaging. In a landscape like Rancho Cucamonga, CA, where the transition from well-planned residential blocks to the base of the San Gabriel Mountains is just a short drive away, having a vehicle that can handle both environments is essential.

This is a vehicle designed for those who refuse to compromise on performance while prioritizing the comfort and safety of their family. Performance & Capability Rooted in HEMI Heritage Under the hood of this Sport Utility lies the heart of a legend: the HEMI 5.7L V-8 VVT engine. Delivering 360HP, this powertrain features cylinder deactivation to help balance muscle with efficiency during long stretches on the 210 or 15 freeway. The Transmission TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic provides smooth, decisive shifts, ensuring that whether you are merging into traffic in Riverside, CA, or climbing the foothills, the power delivery is always refined. This V8 configuration is paired with a Longitudinal mounted engine layout and an Iron engine block, emphasizing the durable, heavy-duty nature of the Durangos construction. The All Wheel Drive system, specifically the Quadra-Trac I full-time AWD, ensures that traction is maintained across various road conditions, providing peace of mind during those rare but slick Southern California rainstorms. To ensure the ride remains composed regardless of how much gear you have packed, the Durango is equipped with a Nivomat auto-leveling rear suspension and a Sport ride suspension. This setup, combined with Independent front and rear suspension, allows for a car-like handling profile that belies its size. Drivers can also monitor their vehicle's vitals through the Transmission fluid temperature gauge and Engine/electric motor temperature gauge, while the Selectable mode transmission allows you to tailor the driving dynamics to your specific journey. Seamless Technology & Connectivity for the Modern Commute The interior of the 2026 Dodge Durango GT Premium is a hub of modern connectivity, designed to keep the whole family entertained and informed.
