2020 Dodge Durango SXT Plus

The 2020 Durango is a three-row family SUV that brings Dodge's performance character to the segment. It competes with the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Toyota Highlander, but offers more muscle than any of them. The Durango drives with a solid, planted feel, and the V8 models deliver serious straight-line punch. Inside, there's room for up to seven across three rows, and the cargo area expands nicely with the rear seats folded. The SXT Plus is the one to pick if you want the Durango's practicality without stepping up to the V8 R/T, and it still gets the same three-row layout as the pricier trims. Its 3.6L V6 makes 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, which keeps it sure-footed in rain or snow; expect 21 mpg combined. This trim adds the Sport Mode and selectable steering modes, so you can firm up the wheel and sharpen throttle response when you want a sportier feel.
