Dodge is keeping its legendary three-row SUV alive with a brand-new generation coming in 2029. Nearly two decades after the launch of the current Durango, the next model promises major changes in design, performance, and technology. Riding on Stellantis’ advanced STLA Large platform, the 2029 Durango will mark a major shift toward electrification while staying true to Dodge’s performance heritage.
The next-generation Durango is expected to introduce a variety of new powertrain options, including combustion, hybrid, and fully electric systems. Sources suggest the new SUV might use the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine found in the new Charger, offering between 420 and 550 horsepower, depending on the configuration. Dodge may also bring in the electric dual-motor setup from the Charger Daytona, capable of delivering up to 670 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, supported by a 100.5-kWh battery pack. A smaller 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo, recently seen in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, could serve as the entry-level option, producing 324 horsepower — still more powerful than the outgoing V6.
Visually, the 2029 Durango will follow Dodge’s latest design direction, blending muscular proportions with futuristic styling. Early renderings show slim headlights connected by a full-width LED light bar, sharp body creases, and signature “ring of fire” taillights that echo the Charger’s rear-end design. Inside, it’s expected to feature a more premium interior, advanced digital displays, and next-generation connectivity features.
The new Durango will reportedly debut in 2028 before hitting showrooms in 2029. With rising production costs and a more sophisticated platform, pricing will likely start around $45,000, a noticeable increase from today’s $40,990 base model. Despite the higher cost, Dodge aims to make the Durango one of the most capable and high-tech SUVs in its class — powerful enough to challenge rivals while embracing the future of electric performance.
