How Many Engines Are Available on the 2020 Dodge Durango?

Since Dodge is a performance-oriented automaker, the base engine on the Durango starts where many rivals’ powertrains leave off. The mainstream trim grades get powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine that delivers 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain can pull over three tons of gear and earns an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19 city mpg, 26 highway mpg, and 22 combined mpg.

If you are looking for more power, the 5.7-liter V8 HEMI® engine is the way to go. This powertrain not only delivers 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, but it can also tow up to 7,400 pounds when paired with two-wheel drive. All this power comes at the expense of efficiency, which drops to 14, 22, and 17 mpg, respectively. To enjoy optimal performance, Dodge recommends feeding it with mid-grade fuel. You can find this engine standard on the R/T model and as an upgrade on the Citadel.

If you desire a three-row SUV with the performance of a muscle car, you will love what the SRT trim has to offer. Beneath its hood sits a 6.4-liter V8 HEMI® engine that puts out a monstrous 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. The Durango SRT is the fastest and most capable standard three-row SUV in America. According to the brand, this model can go from rest to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds and haul over 8.700 pounds. Fuel economy is estimated at 13 city mpg, 19 highway mpg, and 15 combined mpg.
