3 Thrilling Advantages of The New Dodge Durango Engine

1. More Power Under The Hood

The new Durango, for the first time, comes standard with HEMI V-8 engines providing even greater power than its V-6 predecessors. Some of these enhancements include:

• 360 horsepower, 22% more than its predecessor
• 390 pound-feet of torque, 50% more than its predecessor
• Accelerating from 0 to 60 in 6.2 seconds, faster than the previous acceleration of 7.4 seconds
• Best-in-Class towing capacity of 8,700 pounds, 40% more than its predecessor

2. What are The Dodge Durango Engine Options?

In addition to the regular HEMI V-8 engine, the Durango has different options available based on your preferences and the trim level of your vehicle. The different available engines include:

• 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
• 392-cubic-inch (6.3-liter) HEMI V-8
• 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V-8

3. Greater Fuel Economy

Coupled with its greater power, the Durango's new engine also provides it with greater fuel efficiency. It utilizes fuel saver technology, deactivating cylinders as necessary and seamlessly alternating between four-cylinder mode and full V-8 mode when you need that level of power.
