The Ram 1500 TRX might have stolen its thunder, but Dodge has announced the Durango SRT Hellcat will be priced from $80,995.
Costing $18,000 more than the Durango SRT 392, the Durango SRT Hellcat has a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 710 hp (529 kW / 720 PS) and 645 lb-ft (874 Nm) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system.
This enables the model to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). It’s also one of few vehicles in the world that can tow 8,700 lbs (3,946 kg) and run the quarter mile in less than 12 seconds.

Further down the trim ladder are models with 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8 engines. The V6 produces 295 hp (220 kW / 299 PS) and 260 lb-ft (353 Nm) of torque, while the V8 cranks out 360 hp (268 kW / 365 PS) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm).

The Durango GT begins at $35,965 and adds a dual exhaust system, additional body-color accents and larger 20-inch wheels. Other niceties include a 3rd row seat, a power driver’s seat and a rear park assist system.
The $45,305 Durango R/T has a standard 5.7-liter V8 engine as well as a sport-tuned suspension. The model also sports heated leather seats, rain-sensing wipers, a power steering column and a larger 10.1-inch infotainment system.
The luxurious Durango Citadel starts at $47,805 and has platinum exterior accents as well as a sunroof. The model also boasts heated / ventilated Nappa leather seats and second row captain chairs that are separated by a center console.
While that’s just a brief overview of the Durango lineup, dealers are currently accepting orders and a configurator should be launched shortly. However, the Durango SRT Hellcat won’t go up for order until this fall and it will only be available for one model year.
