The new 2021 Dodge Durango is wearing almost the same aggressive styling that we saw on the Dodge Charger model. It borrows elements such as gloss-black grille, LED headlights and running lights, hood, and rear spoiler. However, more aggressive styling can be found on the SRT Hellcat model. This mighty model comes with fog lamps that are ditched for air intakes to cool the big supercharged V-8.

However, an 8.4-inch screen is still available and is standard on the SXT and GT models.

Both screens will use an advanced Uconnect 5 infotainment system. Underneath the screen, there’s a new wireless charging pad along with spacious console storage. Besides, plenty of standard elements can be found inside. As a part of the standard features, Dodge offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa.
