These muscular vehicles offer top-notch performance and head-turning style, plus all of the cargo and passenger space you’re looking for in an SUV.

Today, we’ll be going over all of the great qualities and features in the Dodge SUV lineup because we believe in giving you all of the information you need to choose a vehicle that’s not just great but 100% perfect for you.
Dodge Hornet
The Dodge Hornet is an all-new model for the 2023 model year, giving entry-level enthusiasts a chance to get behind the wheel of the muscle Dodge is known for at a value price. Best-in-class performance is available with two distinct models, each of which has standard all-wheel drive.
With the Hornet GT, you’ll get a 2.0L I-4 engine under the hood, giving you 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque at your disposal. This powertrain makes for a fast and athletic vehicle compared to other options in the compact crossover segment. If that’s not enough thrill for you, you can always shift into Sport Mode to unlock optimized upshifts, sharper throttle response, and tighter steering.
The Hornet R/T is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), so you’ll have an electric motor boosting the engine’s stats, raising overall capability to 285 horsepower and a whopping 383 lb-ft of torque. The R/T also gives you all of the benefits of a hybrid, with a 30-mile all-electric range that lets you drive it like an EV without using any gasoline at all. Or you can save that electric energy for the on-demand PowerShot feature, which lets you give the engine an extra burst of power whenever you need it.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll get plenty of useful features, like a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital cockpit cluster screen. Together, these displays provide 22.5 inches of screen space, making it easy to check diagnostics, warnings, navigation, and other features at a glance, so you can get informed and then get your eyes back on the road ASAP. The infotainment system comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can easily connect your smartphone to the Hornet’s interface, and it also features Amazon Alexa built-in, so you can give voice commands and even control smart devices at home from the road.
Dodge Durango
While the Hornet is bursting onto the scene this year, the Dodge Durango is a tried-and-true model that has been around for decades and is still delivering thrills, style, and power. A larger model than the Hornet, the Durango has three rows of seating, allowing it to carry up to seven people at once. Of course, you can always fold the rear seats flat if you’d rather have more room for cargo.
Where most SUVs come standard with a four-cylinder engine, the Durango doesn’t go any lower than a 3.6-liter V6 that provides 295 horsepower. You also have the option to upgrade to a 5.7L V8 that ups that figure to 360 horsepower. With the 5.7L V8 under the hood, the Durango has a towing capacity of up to 8,700 lbs, so you can easily bring a trailer along for your next vacation or bring your boat down to the Delaware River for a relaxing outdoor getaway. The V8 also makes for faster acceleration; according to testing done by Car and Driver, the Durango can go from zero to sixty in 7.4 seconds with the power of the V6 engine and in 6.2 seconds with the V8.
The Durango may project power first and foremost, but don’t think that it skimps when it comes to comfort. For the 2023 model year, heated seats are now standard across all trim levels, so you can quickly warm up on a cold winter’s day, even if you opt for the base SXT trim. The seats and controls have all been designed with ergonomics in mind, so you’ll stay comfortable whether you’re cruising around town or trekking across the country. Premium materials give the cabin a classy look that’s sure to impress anybody you might be picking up from the airport, from business associates to inlaws.
Dodge Durango SRT 392
If the regular Durango doesn’t satisfy your need for muscle, then you can always upgrade to the Durango SRT 392. With a 6.4L HEMI V8 engine, this model delivers 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, giving this three-row SUV the power to go from zero to sixty in just 4.1 seconds. That raw gusto is paired with sharp steering and a stiff suspension that makes this model an excellent choice for driving enthusiasts who want top-notch performance but can’t fit their life into a tiny coupe.
The Durango SRT 392 is certainly pricier, but for that extra money, you’ll get plenty of luxury features on top of the upgraded powertrain. It comes standard with heated and ventilated front seats, heated captain’s chairs in the second row, and three-zone climate control, so you and all your passengers can get comfortable in any weather. Built-in navigation also comes standard, so you’ll always know where you’re going, even if you leave your phone behind. You’ll also get leather upholstery, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen.
Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat
If the Durango SRT 392 doesn’t have enough power to satisfy you, then most automakers definitely won’t be able to offer you an SUV that meets your needs. But, of course, Dodge isn’t like most automakers. For the driver who truly needs to feel the thrill of putting the pedal to the metal, the Durango SRT Hellcat is here to deliver with a supercharged 6.2L HEMI Hellcat V8 engine that delivers an absolutely mind-blowing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. It can go from zero to sixty in a mere 3.6 seconds, and it comes with a specially-tuned suspension system, adaptive dampers, and Brembo brakes in order to keep you in control at all times, no matter how much of that power you’re able to utilize.
The 2021 Durango Hellcat was only available in a single trim, but the 2023 model has three levels for drivers to choose from. The base gives you this powerful SUV at the most affordable price possible, plus you get high-performance Laguna leather seats, a sunroof, and a more expansive suite of driver assistance features. With the top-level Premium, you get all that plus exclusive red seat belts, carbon fiber accents throughout the cabin, a leather-wrapped instrument panel, and an upgraded sound system with nineteen speakers.
