5 reasons to buy the 2017 Dodge Durango
1. Powerful V8 engine
The 2017 Durango's available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine exemplifies power and capability. Producing 360 horsepower and capable of towing an estimated 7,400 lbs when properly equipped, it's great for demanding tasks and adventurous drives.
2. Luxurious interior
Inside, the Durango offers a luxurious and roomy interior, with ample space even in the third row. The option for second-row captain’s chairs enhances passenger comfort, and with all seats folded, the Durango provides a vast 84.5 cu-ft of cargo space. This versatility makes it ideal for families and groups who need a vehicle that can meet changing seating and storage requirements. For more luxury features, look for the Citadel model, which adds ventilated front seats, a power liftgate, and rain-sensing wipers.
3. Sophisticated infotainment system
The Durango's Uconnect® system is known for its sophistication and ease of use. The system includes features such as Voice Command and an 8.4-inch touchscreen, offering Bluetooth® connectivity for effortless streaming. The available Alpine® sound system elevates the audio experience, making every journey more enjoyable.
4. Commanding design
The Durango’s exterior design commands attention on the road, combining muscular styling with practical visibility. The larger stature of the Durango gives great outward visibility, but if you want further peace of mind, look out for the Technology Group package. It adds a variety of driver aids to make driving such a large vehicle that much easier.
5. Versatile cargo space
The Durango's interior is designed for flexibility, accommodating a range of passenger and cargo arrangements. The standard layout includes a fold-flat front passenger seat and split-folding rear rows, allowing for numerous configurations to suit your carrying needs, whether it's people, luggage, or a mix of both. This means you can pack up the kids and grand parents for that next family road trip and still have space for their stuff.
