And if you didn't know, the Dodge Durango only comes with eight cylinders. So, if you can stomach the hefty fuel costs, this aging three-row family SUV is something of a rare breed. The 2027 Durango lineup also offers some real value if you're looking for a V-8 engine and up to seven seats.The GT Hemi represents the Durango's entry point, and it's powered by a 5.7-liter V-8 that makes 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard, with the base trim starting at $45,670. Sure, that's nearly $3000 more than last year's all-wheel-drive base model, but it was powered by an uninspiring 295-hp 3.6-liter V-6. If that's more your speed, check out rivals like the Honda Pilot or the nonhybrid Hyundai Palisade. But if a V-8 sounds great, the Durango is a better date, and the GT's higher trims offer fancier features. The Plus and Premium start at $49,270 and $52,270, respectively. For 2027, the Durango GT receives a new Brass Monkey package that includes distinct fender badges and special 20-inch wheels.Stellantis (Stellantis)The Durango R/T 392 packs the powerful 6.4-liter V-8, good for 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

Not only is the Plus version new for 2027, bringing a nappa leather interior, more power seat adjustments, memory settings, as well as heated and ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats, but there's also a new Blacktop Redline package. The latter includes available racing stripes, forged 20-inch wheels, a lower front splitter, and suede interior materials.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor power-hungry Durango shoppers, the SRT Hellcat is the only thing capable of quenching their thirst.
