Screenshot 2023-01-06 130747

Among three-row SUVs, the 2022 Dodge Durango reigns supreme, as it offers a luxurious seven-seater cabin with stronger performance options than all others in its class. Combine this with off-road versatility, cutting-edge technology, and a wide array of advanced safety features, and you've got the perfect excuse to set out for adventures with family or friends.

6 Key Features of the 2022 Dodge Durango

1. A Powerful 6.4L HEMI V8 Engine

With three stunning engines to choose from, it might be difficult to choose just one, but the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 is the clear standout in the group. Standard on the Durango SRT 392, this 475-horsepower engine lends the vehicle a zero-to-sixty time of just 4.7 seconds and an 8,700-pound maximum towing capacity.

2. The Uconnect Infotainment System

The Uconnect 5C NAV system, with its 10.1-inch high-definition touchscreen, is an infotainment feature that allows you to control it with either your hands or your voice. Not only can you use this system to get navigation instructions, play music, and access satellite radio stations, but you can also connect your Android or iPhone to it wirelessly to make and take calls.

3. An Innovative Adaptive Cruise Control

The vehicle's Adaptive Cruise Control feature allows you to set your preferred speed, as well as your preferred distance from other vehicles. It then uses its Stop-And-Go function to maintain this distance by adjusting speed only when necessary, such as when the flow of traffic ahead of you slows down.

4. A Comfortable Split-Folding Bench Seat

With available leather-trim seats and over 50 seating configurations, the Durango's interior is all about comfort, though its 60/40 split-folding bench seat is about convenience, as well. You can quickly fold it down to make room for cargo or flip it up whenever you have more passengers.

5. A Safety System to Keep You in Your Lane

Even the best drivers might get distracted occasionally, which is why the Durango also offers LaneSense Lane Departure Warning, which warns you whenever it detects unintentional drifting towards another lane. If you don't respond quickly enough, then Lane Keep Assist jumps into action to steer the vehicle back to where it should be.

6. Steering Wheel-Mounted Paddle Shifters

Pairing with the vehicle's eight-speed automatic transmission is a pair of paddle shifters that are mounted to the steering wheel. With these, you can manually override the transmission's automatic shift points for a sportier driving experience.

With exceptional performance, engaging entertainment options, and adaptive safety systems, the 2022 Durango is ready for every type of journey and accommodates up to seven passengers.
