Dodge’s Durango has evolved through three generations since its inception in 1997, transitioning from a mid-size traditional SUV to a full-size SUV and eventually settling into its current mid-size crossover SUV form since the WD series third generation in 2010.
The current WD Durango, available for the 2024 model year, boasts a wide range of trims, from the base model to the high-end SRT Hellcat Premium. However, despite its extensive trim options, the aging design suggests the need for a fully redesigned successor.
Rumors suggest that Dodge may adopt the STLA Large platform for the next-generation Durango, following the footsteps of the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EVs and 2025 Dodge Sixpack models.
This platform would enable Dodge to incorporate EV powertrains and a 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six twin-turbo engine, aligning with the industry’s shift towards electrification.
Speculations about the upcoming Dodge Durango’s design have emerged, with conceptual renderings showcasing a fusion of elements from the 2024 Charger models.
The interior may feature adaptations for practicality, while the exterior design reflects a blend of the current Durango aesthetics and the latest Charger’s design language.
