NEXT STAGE: Freshen in 2020
The freshened Durango large SUV will arrive this year. It adds a 710-hp Hellcat engine next year, but that speedy hauler will only be available for the 2021 model year. The Durango in its current form debuted as a 2011 model, but it has held its own in the heavily contested three-row utility category. The Durango is scheduled to be the second Fiat Chrysler Automobiles model to hit the market with the new Uconnect 5 infotainment system, after the 2021 Pacifica minivan. The 2021 Durango gets a new interior with driver-oriented cockpit, and FCA’s contract with the UAW says a hybrid version will be available. Production of the Durango is expected to continue until 2023.
