2014 Dodge Durango AWD V-6

Freshened for 2014 Dodge Durango upgraded electronics, with a handsome new interior and exemplary road manners, is slicker than ever. But perhaps the most significant update to send power to the drive wheels, the engine behind the bolt, reviews tucked away. Sixth, seventh and eighth gear: 2014 Durango transmission is different from the 2013 model used in three major units.

Previous Durango transmission had only five forward speeds. 2014 models are rapidly produced under license and a new eight-speed ZF automatic longitudinal Chrysler are spreading motor of the universe.

We "mean? What does" Ultimately, (installed castle form tested here) last Durango same excellent 290 hp, as well as in 2013, 3.6-liter V-6 equipped with a DOHC 24-valve features did not hear a whisper, an aluminum block and aluminum heads . Transmission may have noticed how few extra wheels?


In 2011, a five-speed testing AWD V-6 Durango 0-to-60 mph in 8.2 seconds with a speed of 88 mph and 16.4 quarter mile covered. Eight-speed version tested here about 100 more pounds (5068 to 5159 pounds), the higher level of cutting a function scales, though 89 years old 15.8 knocked down 7.6 0-to-60 line and a quarter.

This accelerator developments are important everyday driving, and extra cogs criticized in our 2011 test eliminates wide gear range. They are also the same reason, (max £ 6,200) to improve traction. More importantly, provides better fuel economy than eight speeds. Our 2011 Durango is 16 mpg city and 22 highway EPA testing memorial, and we recorded 19 mpg. Our heavy right foot still managed only 19, but the Durango, was evaluated for 17/24.

Fancy Feet

Durango updated Jeep Grand Cherokee most adapted to body-on-frame housing units from 2011 switch chassis made was, as far as we could not reach, but really did not need attention from a solid piece of goods. Already we Durango level cornering attitude, tactile steering, brake and capable all-day riding comfort, the 2014 model features a powerful team remains dress impressed.


Agile is not a word normally associated with cars in this size class, but in Durango, who is 70 mph shifting master stop 178 meters, more than willing to stop pretty quick on his feet, and the 2011 model than we praised. Our 2014 Durango Citadel played a very good mid-sized performance-off equal to 175 feet, three feet sedan-and never showed even a hint of fade.

Full-size SUVs as family transport pachyderms are not really valued for its ability to dance. But agile heavy is always better, and in this context, the beginning of the class that contains a variety of front-drive-based entries, such as the GMC Acadia Durango stands. This aluminum V-6 reduced mass optional 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 driven by the heavier and less steering input nose does not hurt a bit more sensitive to the Durango.
