2022 Dodge Durango SXT

The 2022 Durango is a three-row SUV that blends family practicality with Dodge's muscle-car attitude, a rare combination in its class. It squares off against the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, but none offer a V8 with this much character. The Durango drives with a solid, planted feel, and the V8 models accelerate with a satisfying rumble that makes every trip a little more fun. The ride is smooth and composed on the highway, though the sport-tuned suspension on performance trims is firmer than some rivals. Inside, the Durango offers generous legroom, a roomy third row, and plenty of cargo space behind the second row, plus many USB ports and cupholders. The SXT is the entry trim, and it comes with cloth seats, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, and a 3-zone automatic climate control system. The SXT includes a Sport Mode and selectable steering modes, letting you sharpen the response a bit when you want it.
