2014 Dodge Durango Citadel

The Durango is Dodge's three-row SUV, a roomier alternative to the Grand Cherokee with seating for up to seven. It drives more like a truck than a typical crossover, with a firm ride and a confident, planted feel on the highway. The cabin is comfortable with available leather and heated seats, and the third row folds down to open up a large cargo area. Some owners have reported transmission leaks and issues with the UConnect entertainment system, though many also report trouble-free miles. Leather upholstery, heated seats, and a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen set the Citadel apart as the top luxury trim in the Durango lineup. The 5.7L V8 makes 360 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving it real towing capability and a satisfying V8 rumble. Expect 16 mpg combined from the V8, which is typical for a big, heavy SUV with this much power.
