The Dodge Durango has plenty of positives while the 2021 model update has refreshed the styling. More standard features and a slick infotainment system adds to the appeal. Despite its shortcomings in terms of safety, this muscle SUV still offers the most for your hard-earned money, and that makes for a terrific cause in this segment. 

It is one of the most practical SUVs in the segment that can be a daily driver. The sales of this car have stayed strong even when it's far from the most athletic SUV in the class. That's because Durango delivers a supple ride.

 The Durango is perhaps the best choice in its class for towing tasks, especially when equipped with the V-8. - Caranddriver.com

The 2021 Durango has a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 293 horsepower via the stock, single exhaust, or 295 horses with an optional dual exhaust free-flow system. Durango's 360 horsepower V8 increases the towing capacity significantly (up to 8700 pounds). You'll find this engine under the hood of every Durango R/T and certain Durango Citadel as it comes as an option.

Both engine pairs with a slick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission while you can choose between rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configuration. The Durango's towing capacity of 6,200 pounds climbs up to 7,400 pounds when you go with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, while the maximum tow rating is achieved with SRT models. Next up is a 475 hp 6.4-liter Hemi V8 under the hood of the SRT 392 trim but the absolute king of the Durango lineup is the SRT Hellcat which features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine good for 710 hp.

With the 3.6-liter V6 engine the Dodge Durango sprint from 0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds while the 5.7-liter V8 did it in 6.2 seconds. The Durango is not overtly sporty, but its rear-wheel-drive platform grants it an athletic feel. The most capable Durango SRT Hellcat does a 3.5-second zero-to-60 sprint and has a top speed of 180 miles per hour. The standard brakes on the Durango are not responsive and do not inspire much confidence. In emergency situations, the Durango comes to a complete stop from 60 mph in 134 feet.

When it comes to power the Dodge Durango beats all the SUVs in question whether it’s the Kia Telluride or the Honda Pilot. However, in terms of torque output, the standard V6 is slightly behind the rivals. The muscle car delivers a comfortable ride, making it a family-friendly SUV but the big SUV lacks a lot of steering response or feedback. The high-power models including R/T and SRT models offer a stiffer ride but improved handling.

• Read about the Dodge Durango's Towing Capacity, even with such a nimble performance.

The Durango’s V6 gets the best fuel economy in the 2021 model lineup. The fuel economy of the rear-wheel-drive Durango is estimated at 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Comparatively, those MPG figures are average in the midsize SUV class. The AWD equipped Durangos with the V6 return marginally lesser figures with 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

Moreover, Dodge also provides various drive modes that help tame this brute and also helps in churning out the somewhat acceptable MPG figures. Another major advantage of having such a huge form factor is its fuel carrying capacity of 23.6-gallons which goes best with the Pentastar V6. Even the closest competitor in terms of fuel carrying capacity is the Honda Pilot with just 19.5 gallons.

The 2021 Durango with 5.7L V8 returns gas mileage of 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. However, Kia Telluride provides the best-combined figures of fuel efficiency in this segment. For those looking for a fuel-efficient Durango, you must stick with the V6 while for better trailering you can opt for the V8 Durango.

Dodge has made a sweeping upgrade to the Durango's interior for the 2021 model year. The heavily redesigned cockpit of the SUV features a new instrument panel, roomier center console, and redesigned front door panels. The new interior design brings a feeling of nostalgia, reminding of the driver-focussed layout of the 2021 Dodge Challenger and the 2021 Dodge Charger.

Apart from the nice updates to the interior, the 2021 Durango gets a new R/T Tow N Go package. Inside, the luxurious Citadel has room for six people and features heated and ventilated Nappa leather driver and passenger seats with embossed ‘Dodge stripes,’ //, and heated second-row captain’s chairs. In terms of cargo space, the 2021 Dodge Durango has an average amount of cargo as compared to most other midsize SUVs.

Behind the third-row seats is 17.2 cubic feet of space, which expands to 43.3 cubic feet when you fold down the third row. There’s a maximum of 85.1 cubic feet when you fold down both the second and third rows. Kia Telluride is the only contender that has a larger margin in terms of cargo capacity, where the 2021 Palisade is the most spacious seater of the bunch, even when it comes to the 3rd row.

Everything goes driver-centric, including the 10.1-inch touchscreen, which runs Dodge’s latest Uconnect 5 software. An 8.4-inch version comes standard on the SXT and mid-range GT models while the big 10.1-inch touch screen is optional on GT and standard on the Citadel.  the seven-seater Durango keeps the physical buttons and knobs under the screen, which also has a new wireless charging pad along with roomier center console storage.

The standard setup runs FCA's Uconnect 4C while the larger setup runs a five times faster Uconnect 5 software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard with both screens and Amazon Alexa has been introduced for the first time. The car has got a 9-speaker sound system too; you will also get an option to replace the standard sound system with a Harman Kardon 19-speaker sound system.

There are obvious visual ties to Dodge's rear-drive sedan and coupe, and the relationship carries over to the driving experience. - Motortrend.com

The most noteworthy exterior changes are made to the 2021 Durango's front fascia, including a new grille that mimics the Charger widebody sedan. Giving the SUV a modern and aggressive look, thanks to the slim LED headlamps and newly sculpted hood on some models. On the rear, reshaped air channels, or we can say, inlets are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing.

The Citadel exterior features high-end, unique cues and accents, including Platinum chrome accents on door handles and mirror caps, 20-inch-by-8-inch Satin Carbon wheels, and dual rear exhaust with bright chrome tips. SRT models get a new chin spoiler, and all models gain a rear spoiler atop the back hatch.

Durango is the heaviest and longest of the lot here with the closest contender being Kia Telluride with a difference of 400 lbs. and about 3 inches. The Citadel trim will get chrome treatment at some places to make it look different from other trims. The Durango offers the most ground clearance when compared with other midsize SUVs, including Pilot and Palisade that come under the 8-inch mark.

2021 Dodge Durango Vs 2021 Honda Pilot

The 2021 Honda Pilot continues to be the SUV of choice for city dwellers and suburban soccer moms for years, due to its easy driving dynamics, bulletproof reliability, and a clear price advantage as the 2021 Pilot starts from $31,550; $215 cheaper than the Durango. This Honda might not be the best at anything but it most certainly is the jack of all trades and if you are looking for anything and everything apart from a muscle car with 3-rows, then the 2021 Pilot is the one to go for.

2021 Dodge Durango Vs 2021 Hyundai Palisade

The Palisade is a properly loaded SUV in this segment for an MSRP of $31,775. It offers a lot more than the Durango in terms of comfort and technology along with above-average practicality and efficiency. Let’s be straight forward, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade makes more practical sense than the Dodge Durango, as an overall package. It has more seating space to offer (even in the 3rd row!) and is just $10 dearer than the Durango. However, the higher trims of the Durango have an upper hand in performance alone.

Dodge Durango happens to be the sole remaining true muscle SUV in the segment. It sure has a lot of flex but loses out on the fundamental features that have become a norm for 2021. Performance is a strong highlight with even the base 3.6L V6 churning out close to 300 hp for just under $32k.

But Dodge Durango lacks some of the most basic safety features and also has the smallest boot in the lineup of the three-row SUVs. So if performance alone is not your priority, then the $31,550, 2021 Honda Pilot makes for a better proposition. It is cheaper and much more well-stacked with standard comfort, technology, and most importantly safety features. Not to forget the robust reliability that Hondas come with.
