Dodge is revving up the holiday spirit by announcing that the production of HEMI®-powered Dodge Durango models will extend into the 2025 calendar year, delivering a thrilling gift for enthusiasts.

Responding to strong market demand and customer enthusiasm, the brand's robust three-row SUV will continue to unleash its power with the option of a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine, boasting an impressive 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, the Durango R/T will feature the standard 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, which generates 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.

“The Dodge Durango paired with the HEMI engine is a formidable combination, and we’re excited to keep producing the most powerful gas engine SUV in the world through 2025,” stated Matt McAlear, CEO of Dodge – Stellantis. “This marks a fitting tribute to our celebration of 20 years of HEMI-powered Durango models.”

Dodge first kicked off full production of HEMI-equipped Durango models back in 2004. The brand is celebrating two decades of this dynamic duo with the launch of four limited-edition models: the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Hammerhead, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet, and the Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary edition. All special-edition models for 2025 are now available for order at dealerships.

The ongoing availability of the HEMI engine in the Durango lineup, along with the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine for the Durango GT, enhances Dodge's expanding array of multi-energy vehicle options.
