Dodge goes all-in on being Stellantis’ efficiency model. The automaker has introduced that it’ll make the V-8 engine the usual powertrain throughout the Durango lineup for 2026.
The entry-level Durango GT will now characteristic the model’s 5.7-liter V-8 engine, which produces 360 horsepower, 65 greater than the Pentastar V-6 it replaces. The additional cylinders do come at a value, with the 2026 Durango GT beginning at $44,490, $4,000 greater than earlier than.

The R/T will get a powertrain improve, with Dodge swapping the 5.7-liter V-8 for the 6.4-liter V-8 392. It makes 470 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque, 115 hp greater than the outgoing engine. Dodge didn’t present a particular beginning worth for the R/T, as a substitute stating that it’s going to begin at “underneath $50,000.” The 2025 R/T, outfitted with the outdated 5.7-liter V-8, began at $49,995 earlier than the $1,995 vacation spot cost, and we count on an identical price ticket for the up to date 2026 model.
Dodge already detailed the 2026 SRT Hellcat, which may have a revamped Jailbreak trim. It affords consumers extra customization choices, together with six wheel decisions, 5 inside colours, and extra. It packs Dodge’s supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 producing 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque. Whereas the entry worth for the Durango lineup will improve, the SRT Hellcat is $6,000 cheaper for 2026.
It now begins at $81,990, so thanks, Dodge.
The model says that order books will open for the 2026 Durango GT and SRT Hellcat on August 13. These trims will start arriving at sellers someday within the fourth quarter. Dodge will begin taking orders for the R/T AWD starting later this yr.
