2021 Dodge Durango GT Plus

The 2021 Durango is a three-row SUV that blends family practicality with Dodge's muscle-car attitude, offering seating for up to eight. It competes with the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, but none of them offer a Hellcat-powered variant. The Durango drives with a solid, planted feel, and the V8 models deliver strong acceleration that can catch you off guard. The cabin is roomy and practical, with three rows and plenty of cargo space when the rear seats are folded. The GT Plus gives you the V6 and most of the R/T's comfort features for thousands less, but you give up the V8's extra punch and the firmer suspension. Its 3.6L V6 makes 295 horsepower and pairs with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic, and with all-wheel drive you get solid all-weather traction while still seeing 21 mpg combined. The GT Plus adds heated front and rear seats and a heated steering wheel as standard, which the base GT doesn't offer.
