New York City, Mar 28, 2013 -

The Dodge brand is upping the ante in the fast-growing full-size sport-utility vehicle (SUV) and crossover segments, introducing the new 2014 Dodge Durango at the 2013 New York International Auto Show. This new SUV is built on the Dodge brand's pillars of performance, style and innovation, delivering a new standard state-of-the-art class-exclusive eight-speed automatic transmission that improves fuel economy up to 9 percent, the Chrysler Group's award-winning Uconnect Access easy-to-use touchscreen technologies and the Dodge brand's signature racetrack LED tail lamps to driving enthusiasts in the market for a three-row family performance SUV.

When Dodge re-introduced the Durango in 2011, it immediately earned accolades from customers and critics alike. Its combination of sleek yet muscular lines, comfortable three-row seating, large cargo volume, class-leading power, driving range and towing capability and overall driving enjoyment was unlike anything ever seen in the SUV segment before. For 2014, the engineers and designers at Dodge have made the ultimate "no compromise" SUV even better.

The new 2014 Dodge Durango takes everything that customers love about Durango and adds the latest advancements in technology to enhance its design, capability and functionality. With a new standard eight-speed automatic transmission, improved fuel economy and performance, new LED exterior lighting, two new interior touchscreens, a new programmable instrument cluster, and an available high-definition dual-screen Blu-ray entertainment system, the 2014 Dodge Durango reaches even higher levels of sophistication building on its proven performance, utility and comfort.

Durango Shows Off New Face

Published on Mar 27, 2013 by tflcar

New York — Chrysler Group LLC will today unveil a significantly refreshed version of its Dodge Durango sport utility vehicle at the New York International Auto Show. It's another example of the automaker's effort to turn around its product lineup.

A close relative of the newly redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango will feature an upgraded interior designed to make the most of Chrysler's latest infotainment technology and an eight-speed transmission that promises to boost fuel economy up to 9 percent.

Unlike the 2014 Grand Cherokee, the seven-passenger Durango will not offer a diesel option — at least not initially.

The Durango has an entry-level price of $30,000, making it attractive to younger buyers, the company said.

"The vehicle is fundamentally an all-new vehicle," said Reid Bigland, chief of the Dodge brand.

It has a new exterior with a bolder front face, new interior and new powertrain. It has LED rear lights inspired by the Charger and Dart.

Chrysler has added heated second-row seats and a heated steering wheel to the new Durango, two options that are "off the charts," Bigland said.

He said the Durango "caters to young families." Bigland said 59 percent of buyers are young families.

The average age of the Durango buyer is in the early 40s, about 10 years younger than average for the full-size SUV market. Chrysler has had success in convincing buyers to opt for pricier versions.

Built off the same platform on the same Detroit assembly line as the Grand Cherokee, the Durango continues to be upstaged by its sibling. Last year, Chrysler sold 42,589 Durangos, down 17.6 percent over the previous year. It sold 154,734 Grand Cherokees, up 21.1 percent compared to 2011's tally.

But Chrysler says it needs both vehicles in its portfolio. And Bigland says there is not a lot of cross-shopping between the two models. The Durango has three rows of seating; the Grand Cherokee has two.

The new Durango will be available with either a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that generates 290 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque or 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 that offers 360 horses and 390 pound-feet of torque — with an expected 25 mpg fuel economy.

The V-6 version offers best-in-class towing capability of 6,200 pounds, while the V-8 can pull another 1,200 pounds.

Chrysler has not said when the Durango will begin shipping.

The compact Jeep Cherokee is based on the same platform as the dodge dart. But the Cherokee will be very capable off road just like every jeep with it's available AWD. It's car based underpinnings will insure a comftorble ride and a fun to drive nature. It replaces the dated Jeep Liberty. It should get around 30 mpg on the highway and the standard features list will be very extensive. Look for the Cherokee to have a very affordable price tag of around 20-25K.
