The 2014 Dodge Durango carries forward the same two engine options from previous years. The V6 engine is powerful, but the V8 engine adds in an extra 70 hp and higher torque to provide much better performance. The interior is spacious and provides great overall comfort. The interior design is ergonomic and is adorned with high-quality materials to provide a premium feel.

We would recommend you to opt for the Limited trim, which provides much better convenience features than the base SXT trim. Some of those includes leather upholstery, power seating with memory setting, and a bigger 8.4 inch touchscreen display. Thus available at a price of $36,495, the Limited trim provides a better value overall.

Very beautiful suv way too many problems

Pros
Interior comfort, Gas mileage

Cons
Keeps breaking down, Expensive to maintain

The 2014 Durango is a gorgeous SUV sharp body lines. Aggressive front end and a good stance. Interior comforts are nice with the heated seats and steering wheel. Gas mileage is on the better side of the spectrum. But that’s where the good ends. The 2014 Durango is riddled with mechanical and electrical issues. The fuel pump relay has crapped out several times costing upwards of $1,000 each time i... Read more

Overview

Pricing and Features
8.0/10

The 2014 Dodge Durango is available in four trim options, namely SXT, Limited, R/T, and Citadel. The R/T trim with its powerful V8 engine setup will be reviewed separately. The base SXT variant is available at a price of around $30,000 and gets great standard features like tri-zone automatic climate control, a 5-inch touchscreen display, 18-inch wheels, and many more. But as we move up above the trim line, we get much better features. The top-of-line Citadel trim is available at a premium price of $41,000 and adds over the features of the R/T trim, but gets the V6 engine as standard.

Trims	SXT	Limited	Citadel
MSRP	$29,995	$36,495	$40,995
Key Features	18-inch alloy wheels	remote ignition	standard V6 engine

Engine and Performance
8.3/10

The 2014 Dodge Durango is available in two engine options. The first is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 290 hp along with 260 lb-ft of torque. The R/T trims get a much bigger 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 360 hp along with 390 lb-ft of torque. Both the engines are mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers the power to the rear wheels as standard.

But there is an option to opt for the four-wheel-drive as well. The V6 engine accelerated the Durango from 0-60 mph in 7.3 seconds, while the quarter-mile acceleration takes around 15.9 seconds.

Model	Dodge Durango	Buick Enclave	Toyota Highlander
MSRP	$29995	$38890	$30520
Engine	3.6-liter V6	3.6-liter V6	3.5-liter V6
Drivetrain	rear-wheel drive	front-wheel drive	front-wheel drive
Transmission	8-speed shiftable automatic	6-speed shiftable automatic	6-speed shiftable automatic
Power	290 hp @ 6400 rpm	288 hp @ 6300 rpm	270 hp @ 6200 rpm
Torque	260 lb.-ft. @ 4800 rpm	270 lb.-ft. @ 3400 rpm	248 lb.-ft. @ 4700 rpm
0-60 mph (sec)	7.3	7.8	7.7
Quarter-mile (sec)	15.9	16.1	16.1
Top Speed (mph)	136	134	-

The 2014 Buick Enclave follows the Durango with an equally great power output of 288 hp, while the Toyota Highlander sits at the bottom of this competition with a power output of 270 hp. But even after being lower on power output, the Highlander matches the 0-60 mph acceleration of Buick Enclave at 7.8 seconds.

Fuel Economy
5.0/10

The base V6 engine is decent on fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. The 2014 Dodge Durango provides us with a fuel economy of 18 mpg in the city, which improves to 25 mpg on the highway. Thus we get a combined mileage of 20 mpg from the Durango. Along with that, it is equipped with a 24.6 gallons of fuel tank capacity that provides a maximum range of 615 miles, which is the best in this comparison.

Model	Dodge Durango	Buick Enclave	Toyota Highlander
MPG (City)	18	17	19
MPG (Highway)	25	24	25
MPG (Combined)	20	19	21
Fuel Capacity (gal)	24.6	22	19.2
Range (City / Highway / Combined) (miles)	442.8/615/492	374/528/418	364.8/480/403

The Toyota Highlander is the most efficient in this comparison with a combined fuel economy of 21 mpg, while the Buick Enclave is slightly on the lower side with a combined mileage of 19 mpg. But the smaller fuel tank capacity of 19.2 gallons in the Highlander limits the maximum range to 480 miles. The Enclave has a decent 22 gallons of fuel tank capacity that provides a maximum range of 528 miles.

Interior
8.0/10

The interior of the 2014 Dodge Durango has an ergonomic design that provides the convenience of use. The interior is cladded with high-quality materials that provide a premium feel overall. The front seats are spacious and offer great spacing for all the passengers in front.

The third-row seats provide decent headroom but lack in terms of legroom. The Durango offers a cargo capacity of 17.2 cu.ft behind the rear seat, which improves to a great 84.5 cu.ft behind the first row.

Model	Dodge Durango	Buick Enclave	Toyota Highlander
Seating Capacity	7	7	8
Front Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	39.9/58.5/40.3	40.4/61.6/41.3	40.7/59.3/44.2
Second Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	39.8/58.3/38.6	39.4/61.3/36.8	39.9/59.6/38.4
Third Row (Head / Shoulder / Leg) (in)	37.8/50.4/31.5	37.8/57.4/33.2	35.9/55/27.7
Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	17.2	23.3	13.8
Maximum Cargo Capacity (cu-ft)	84.5 cu.ft.	115.2 cu.ft.	83.7 cu.ft.

While the Durango and Enclave can carry up to 7 passengers in total, the Highlander can accommodate up to 8 passengers. Both the Highlander and Enclave provide great spacing in the first two-row seats, but the Highlander lacks in terms of the third-row spacing and would be suggested to be used by kids only. The Enclave has the best in class maximum cargo capacity of 115.2 cu-ft, while the Highlander also provides a great cargo capacity of 83.7 cu.ft. Here is a list of all the interior features that are available with the 2014 Dodge Durango:

Tri-zone automatic climate control

Heated front seats (optional)
Heated steering wheel (optional)
Driver memory settings
