Dodge has confirmed that the Durango SRT Hellcat will be part of the 2024 lineup, with no changes from the 2023 model, which means the supercharged 6.2-litre Hellcat V8 will still deliver 700 bhp.
However, what’s new for 2024 is that the Dodge Durango Citadel has joined the Durango R/T lineup, introducing the Tow N Go Package that brings SRT-inspired towing capabilities to another model in the Dodge Durango family. This package offers a towing capacity of 3,628 kg, an increased top speed of 233 kmph, various drive modes (Track, Sport, Snow, and Tow), and a distinctive SRT-performance exhaust for the R/T Tow N Go model.
The 2024 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat has a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine, generating 700 bhp and 874 Nm of torque. This powerhouse accelerates from 0 to 96.5kmph in just 3.5 seconds, completes a 0.4 kms in 11.5 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 289 kmph. Engine features include a dedicated cooling circuit for charge air coolers, twin-screw rotors in the supercharger, and a high-strength cast-iron engine block.
The Durango lineup offers various powertrains, including a 392-cubic-inch HEMI V-8 with 468 bhp, a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 producing 355 bhp, and a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with 290 bhp. All engines come with an efficient TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, offering seven drive modes.
The Durango’s exterior maintains Dodge’s iconic styling cues, LED lighting, and a range of wheel options. Inside, the driver-centric cockpit features a 10.1-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 5, heated front seats, and advanced tech. Safety features include Blind-spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more.
For premium luxury, the Durango Citadel offers Nappa leather seats and safety features like Forward Collision Warning. Families can benefit from flexible seating configurations and over 60 available safety features, including standard Blind-spot Monitoring.
