Family-friendly utility gets a serious shot in the arm this year as the Dodge Durango gains a high-performance SRT trim for the first time.

The SRT and its 6.4L V8 (475 hp/470 lb-ft of torque) are the top of a long list of updates for 2018, which also includes a widebody exterior for R/T and SRT models; the latest version of the Uconnect infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality with seven-inch (SXT and GT) and 8.4-inch (R/T, Citadel and SRT) touchscreens and a new steering wheel and an electronic shifter with manual shift gate.

There is also a raft of new options available in various trims, and a new suite of security and connectivity features from Sirius XM.

SXT, GT and Citadel trims come with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that makes up to 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Next up is a 5.7L V8 (360 hp/390 lb-ft) that’s standard in the R/T and optional in GT and Citadel, and the SRT gets exclusive use of that 6.4L V8.

All models get an eight-speed automatic transmission; AWD is standard too, but only models with the 5.7L engine get a two-speed transfer case, while the V6 and SRT use a full-time, single-speed system.

The SRT finally gives Dodge a high-performance utility that can run with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, including upgraded suspension and brakes designed to handle its significant uptick in power and acceleration. While we are fans of the Grand Cherokee SRT, we would argue Dodge’s reputation as a builder of performance cars would have made it more fitting as the first home for a fast SUV in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ family.

Size-wise, the Durango is larger than the Grand Cherokee and uses its extra space to pack in seven-passenger seating. However, this is not a full-size SUV; instead, it’s a closer competitor for big mid-size vehicles like the Ford Explorer.

Durango comes standard with a number of features that lend it an upscale feel, like a digital gauge cluster display, three-zone automatic air conditioning, 18-inch wheels and a backup camera with rear park assist.

All that appears to be missing from that base spec are heated front seats, which Dodge doesn’t list until the GT trim, where heated rear seats are also standard, along with power driver and front passenger seat adjustments, a power tailgate and remote engine start.

R/T gains a number of exterior styling tweaks to speak to its standard V8 performance, along with a power steering column adjustment, fog lights, rain-sensing wipers and a load-levelling rear suspension.

The Citadel model boasts auto-levelling HID headlights, front park assist, sunroof and Nappa leather-faced seating with ventilation for driver and front passenger; the SRT’s enhancements are all performance-based items, including a limited slip rear differential with a higher final drive gear ratio.

With the Durango’s wide variety of engines come equally diverse fuel consumption ratings. Six-cylinder models are estimated at 12.7/9.6 L/100 km (city/highway), the 5.7L’s figures are 16.6/10.9 and the SRT is rated at 18.3/12.2 L/100 km.

Recall Information

Safety recalls issued by the manufacturer and Transport Canada for this vehicle model.

Recall #

Date

System Affected

Model Years

Manufacturer Recall #: 94B

Units Affected: 12713

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by an FCA dealer during recall Z48 (Transport Canada recall no. 2022-305) may not be effective. As a result, a second repair is required. 
 
On certain vehicles, a problem inside the hydraulic control unit (HCU) for the antilock brake system (ABS) could cause the ABS and electronic stability control (ESC) system not to work. This could also cause the brake lights to turn on or stay on without pressing the brake pedal, and it may allow the vehicle to be started and the transmission to be shifted out of the Park position (P) without pressing the brake pedal. 
 
Safety Risk: 
An antilock braking system and/or electronic stability control system that doesn't work could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash. Brake lights that stay on could cause others not to recognize when the vehicle is braking and increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the integrated pressure transducer on the HCU. The dealer will also update the ABS software, if necessary.

Manufacturer Recall #: 64B

Units Affected: 314717

Type: Inconsequential

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
This error does not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Manufacturer Recall #: Z48

Units Affected: 12713

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, there may be a problem inside the hydraulic control unit for the antilock brake system. As a result, it may be possible to start the vehicle and shift the transmission out of the Park position (P) without pressing the brake pedal. If this happens, the vehicle could move suddenly. This problem could also cause the brake lights to turn on or stay on without pressing the brake pedal. 

Safety Risk: 
A vehicle that moves suddenly could increase the risk of a crash. Brake lights that stay on could cause others not to recognize when the vehicle is braking, and could also increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.

Manufacturer Recall #: U49 U59 U60 U61 U62 U63 U64 U65 U73

Units Affected: 635880

Type: Safety Mfr

Details:

On certain vehicles, an electronic fault may create a situation where the cruise control cannot be deactivated. If this occurs and the driver does not apply the brakes or shift the transmission to neutral, the vehicle could maintain speed or accelerate without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software and perform an update as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised not to use the cruise control until the vehicle is repaired.
