2027 Dodge Durango: What Changed, What Stayed, and What It Costs
Boone County drivers who need three rows and a V8 have one clear answer in the Durango, and for 2027 every trim is HEMI-powered.
The 2027 Dodge Durango keeps the three-row SUV shape it has had for years and changes what sits under the hood. The 3.6L V6 is gone, so every Durango now has a HEMI V8 and standard all-wheel drive, the R/T 392 gains a new Plus model, and Dodge keeps adding colors and options as the year goes on. (The prices and details below reflect what Dodge had published in mid-October 2026; ask us to confirm the sticker on any specific Durango.) Here is what changed, what carried over, and what each trim costs.
2027 Dodge Durango Changes vs. 2026
The biggest change is under the hood. Dodge dropped the 295-horsepower V6 that was available on the 2026 GT, so every 2027 Durango uses a HEMI V8 (the 5.7L HEMI in the GT HEMI, the 6.4L 392 HEMI in the R/T 392, and the supercharged 6.2L HEMI in the SRT Hellcat) and comes with standard all-wheel drive. The entry price is now $43,875 for the GT HEMI, before destination, and it includes the V8 and all-wheel drive.
New for 2027, the R/T 392 gains a Plus model with Nappa leather, a power sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, and adaptive cruise control. The GT HEMI gets a Brass Monkey appearance package, the R/T 392 gets a Blacktop Redline package, and every 2027 Durango gets a digital deadbolt security update and nine-speaker Alpine audio as the base system.
Colors keep arriving too. Redeye (borrowed from the Charger) and After Dark joined over the past few months, and Smokescreen was added on October 5, which brings the palette to ten colors. Stryker Purple, offered in 2026, is not on Dodge's 2027 color list.
What Stayed the Same
The Durango keeps its three-row layout, which seats up to seven, its 119.8-inch wheelbase, and its 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 5.7L HEMI still makes 360 horsepower, the SRT Hellcat still makes 710, and the towing rating of up to 8,700 lbs, the highest in its segment according to Dodge, carries over.
2027 Dodge Durango Price by Trim

Engines, Performance, and Fuel Economy
Three HEMI V8s cover the lineup, all paired with an 8-speed automatic. The 5.7L HEMI in the GT HEMI makes 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque and reaches 60 mph in about 6.2 seconds. The 6.4L 392 HEMI in the R/T 392 makes 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft and reaches 60 in about 4.4 seconds. The supercharged 6.2L HEMI in the SRT Hellcat makes 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft and reaches 60 in about 3.5 seconds (all acceleration times are Dodge's claims). Fuel economy is about 16 mpg combined for the GT HEMI, 15 for the R/T 392, and 13 for the SRT Hellcat, and the 392 and Hellcat require premium fuel.
Towing and Capability
The best towing number depends on the build. The GT HEMI tows up to 7,200 lbs, and the optional Tow 'n Go package raises that to 8,700 lbs. The R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat are rated for up to 8,700 lbs as standard.

How the Durango Compares
Dodge says the Durango is the only three-row SUV in its segment with a V8 in every trim, and that its 8,700-lb towing rating is the highest in the segment. Most rivals use six-cylinder or turbo four-cylinder engines, so the trade-off is fuel economy, and the Durango's V8 sound and towing power are the reasons to choose it.
