2020 Dodge Durango SRT, styled as a stripe package with black and red lines.
Despite Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' plans to introduce a new three-row SUV based on the next-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, there are no plans to phase out the Durango, which shares its framework with the current Grand Cherokee. In fact, test runs of the improved Durango have been spotted, and it is likely that it will appear next year or the year after.
But if you are looking for a big, burly family hauler, the current Durango is definitely worth a look, especially in SRT trim.
Dodge is tempting Durango SRT buyers with two new styling packs introduced for the 2020 model year. One is a stripe package known as the Redline Package. It adds satin black stripes trimmed with red accents and is priced at $1,295.
The Black Package is for buyers with more subtle tastes. Gloss black accents are added throughout the exterior, including the side mirror caps and exhaust tips, and there are shades of dark gray on the wheels. The price for this package is $1,495.
The package will be unveiled at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show starting February 6 and will be available for order in March. Both can also be ordered on the same vehicle, as shown here.
There are no mechanical changes to the 2020 Durango SRT. That is, there is still a 6.4-liter V-8 engine under the hood that delivers 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to the four wheels. With the pedal pressed down, 0-60 mph acceleration can be expected in 4.4 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds. Towing capacity is 8,700 lbs.
