Dodge Durango Citadel AWD

2017 Dodge Durango Citadel

Pros: Overall road manners and maneuverability are superior to most large SUVs; V6 engine delivers good highway fuel economy for a vehicle of this size and heft; comfortable, nicely finished cabin

Cons: Not quite as spacious as other large SUVs; thirsty in city driving, especially with available Hemi V8

CG Says: For 2017, the Dodge Durango changes the name of its most popular model from Limited to GT. New options include a rearview camera that can view trailers and a hand-wrapped, soft-touch instrument panel. The 3rd-row seat is now optional on the SXT and SXT Plus models. Seven-passenger seating remains standard on other models. The Durango has something for just about every type of large-SUV shopper. The base SXT has a lot of features for the money, while GT and Citadel add worthwhile luxury and convenience items. We’re not especially high on the sporty R/T, but we can see its appeal for those who crave brawny style and maximum performance.
