Dodge may be known for muscle cars, but the Dodge Durango is a powerful option too. In the past several years, Dodge has been working feverishly to improve it and place it on par with its high-performance vehicles. So far, Dodge has done a good job of bringing the Durango to the forefront of SUV designs. The 2020 Durango is ready for the market and will bring
several new and powerful features. Here is a look at the 2020 Dodge Durango.
The New Dodge Look
One of the biggest changes that the Durango and all other Dodge vehicles are going through is a total facelift. Dodge is redesigning its overall vehicle look to have a more consistent, modern, and aggressive look across all of its vehicles. The 2020 Dodge Durango has that new look focusing on prominent headlights, a large stealth grille, and a nose section that feels like it belongs on a racecar. Plus, smoother curves and paneling give the Durango a taller, more imposing posture even when sitting still. This makes the Durango feel just as performance-focused as the Charger or Challenger, which share many of the same design focuses.
Increased Power
Dodge has tried several engine options over the years to get the most power out of the Durango. This year, it comes with three engine options that tow between 6,200 - 8,700 lbs. The standard V-6 has a 6,200 lb towing capacity, which places it above many other mid-size SUV options. V-8 upgrades increase it to 8,700 lbs making it the best in its class. That is enough to pull a large boat and its trailer. Plus, this increase in power translates to a significant increase in speed making the Durango one of the fastest SUVs ever.
Advanced Lighting
Dodge also improved the lighting systems across the Durango. It has the new Dodge racetrack lighting bar across the back equipped with LEDs for better visibility. The headlights use similar high-output technology to give you better visibility. It's also equipped with automatic headlights, which are designed to turn on when you are alone, but turn off when the headlights of another care are spotted. That way, you get maximum visibility at all times.
Dodge Performance Pages
If you want to get the best performance out of your car, then you need a way to monitor performance. Dodge Performance Pages is a system that tracks your Durango's performance with different metrics and creates reports for you. You can access it through the Durango's infotainment system and see just how well you are driving. It is a great way to work on your driving skills without needing third-party systems to track what you are doing.

Dodge Durango has come a long way in the past decade, and the 2020 Durango is bringing plenty of new and exciting features.

It will be reaching the market before the end of the year and a good dealer can help you discover just what the Durango can do.
