2022 Dodge Durango Citadel

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 Citadel is the luxury-focused Durango, trading some of the R/T's sporty edge for leather seating, ventilated front seats, and a power sunroof. Under the hood is a 5.7L V8 making 360 horsepower, paired with a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that gives you confident traction in rain or snow, though it returns 17 mpg combined. Standard features include a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with navigation, a nine-speaker Alpine audio system, and adaptive cruise control with stop.
