The charm of utilitarian vehicles has been a major reason behind the meteoric rise of the SUVs and trucks in the recent times, whereas coupes and conventional sedans lose audience.
As the SUV industry gains traffic, it was reasonable to expect a car that could replicate the popular sports car. And the monster has well and truly arrived in the form of the Dodge Durango SRT.
While comparing SUV with three rows, the Durango SRT simply obliterates the competition in terms of sheer capability and performance. The SRT is supported by a HEMI V-8 engine, one of the most formidable out there—it is hard to imagine an unsatisfied driver. Mostly, the 2019 version is unchanged with the exception of a few features for style and new brakes.
Considering the SRT’s price, there is no rival that can match its startling performance and acceleration. Expect to spend double its price for an adequate replacement.
2019 Dodge Durango SRT Design
Virtuoso and chic, car enthusiasts may reminisce the decade-old Dodge Viper from the 2019 Dodge Durango’s aesthetics. Have a look at it and it will be clear, this is not an ordinary SUV and cannot be underestimated.
The Durango SRT’s exterior consists of a utilitarian performance hood, study wide-body, and imposes from all angles. Since 2011, style-wise, the Durango SRT is pretty much the same. Modifications include fresh wheel options—you can choose Burnished Bronze or Matte Vapor. Optional additions include red seat belts. There are almost 50 configurations in the Durango ST for three rows.
2019 Dodge Durango SRT Performance
Thanks to the 6.4-litre HEMI V-8 engine, the Durango SRT throttles impressively, offering 475 hp and 470 foot-pounds torque. In layman terms, this indicates that you can speed up from 0 to 100 km/hr in less than 4.5 seconds!
For fuel efficiency, the Durango SRT consumes 12.2 l/100 km on the highway while 18.3 liters/100 km for the city travels.
However, mere text or figures are insufficient to describe the brilliance of the Durango SRT—only those who get a hand on its steering can realize the power this beast packs. While getting a boost, the vehicle straps one to the seat as if an aircraft is taking off, don’t expect it to let you go unless you slow down the gas pedal.
The SRT is dissimilar to the supercharged and turbocharged engines which exist in the latest SUVs because unlike them, it does not depend upon any bolted equipment for producing high torque and power. If one has to describe the SRT’s driving in one word, then it can be simply termed ‘addictive.’
Another area where the 2019 Dodge Durango SRT blows its competition out of the water is its enormous towing capacity. It can tow a monstrous 8,700 pounds or 3,946 kgs. Since it is itself quite heavy, it achieves the right balance because of the AWD for managing its suspension and weight distribution.
The 2019 Durango SRT comes up with 60 available features. For safety functionalities, you can avail blind-spot monitoring, collision mitigation, and lane departure warning.
