What's New for the Dodge Durango in 2026?
The new Dodge Durango returns with some new looks, returning engines, and new ways to customize your ride.
Earlier reports were looking bleak as the 3.5-liter V6 engine was rumored to be heading down a "fleet-only" path, but luckily, we don't have to say goodbye just yet. The V6 is staying on as the base engine for the 2026 Dodge Durango GT! But that's not all. The beloved 6.4-liter Hemi V8 is returning for the 2026 model year, coming standard on the Durango R/T trim.
The 2026 Dodge Durango R/T not only comes with the Hemi V8 but also features a new package and a special edition.
Blacktop Redline Package
- Front and rear SRT spoilers
- Available dual SRT Redline / Black stripes
- Black Noise 20-inch wheels
- Gloss Black badges
- Leather and Alcantara Suede SRT performance seats with red accent stitching
Durango R/T 392 Launch Edition
In direct celebration of the Hemi's return, Dodge released a Durango R/T 392 Launch Edition, with standard features that include an adaptive damping high-performance suspension, a high-performance exhaust, and red Brembo six-piston front / four-piston rear brakes.
