Next Dodge Durango.

Last Updated:

It seems the next-generation Dodge Durango is indeed on its way. And the new Dodge Stealth EV SUV won’t be its replacement.

The all-new Stealth will be smaller, basically a shorter 5-seater version of the next Durango. This does make sense as long as they make sure the Stealth has some different design cues. At least a new front end. Unlike the current Cherokee and Cherokee L. Although these two have different rear-end designs.

The next Durango is rumored to be offered with the new Charger‘s inline 6-cylinder Turbo as well, and will not be EV only. However by the time of actually comes out, many potential buyers might be OK with the idea of an electric Dodge Durango SUV.

It will be closely related to the new Jeep Wagoneer S, for less money. The Jeep is already planned with a 600HP version and I’m not sure if the Durango will try to top this or not. Over 600HP is just ridiculous, but who knows…

The current 3rd generation Dodge Durango came out in 2011 and will be in production in Detroit until 2025. I am actually quite amazed at how good it still looks after all these years. The all-new STLA-based Durango EV will start production in 2026. As I mentioned earlier, an ICE version could still be part of the next generation’s lineup.

The illustration above shows what a new Durango EV could look like. I think something like this would be a very good complement to the new Charger in Dodge showrooms. But they will need more than these two to bring the brand back. The current Dodge Hornet is just a stop-gap Alfa Romeo Tonale clone and sold under 10,000 units in the last year. (it’s even doing worse this year). And surprise, it seems a redesigned front end isn’t fooling anybody. Dodge does need a really new smaller crossover and I hope Stelantis is working on one.

  1. having driven 2x Dodge Hornets, I can assure you the vehicle is a dud. I *WANTED* to like it but honestly, the whole was a lot less than the sum of its parts. Questionable ergonomics, very weird transition from ICE to electric and back, almost felt like an unfinished 1st gen hybrid. Not a great highway cruiser, noisy… and shocker.. VERY EXPENSIVE! Stellantis needs to get it right for this new Durango.. the current generation is actually a great vehicle

  2. We need no charge on road, small battery ,120v system for EV charge. Few year later we loos lot a money. Less invest for charge but no gas.

  3. Stellantis will screw this up as they have done with all of the cdjr brands so far.

    Like the guy before mentioned wanting to like the Hornet…I had the same experience. I wanted to like it…I wanted to like the new 2025 Ram trucks. But somethings missing. And its missing from all of these concepts as well. The new Charger even…Beautiful thing that it is…somethings not right.

    And its that feeling Mopar products give while driving them. You used to get behind the wheel of any CDJR vehicle and feel the personality in them. You were sotting in something built by a company that had a survivor story back ground…and you could feel it. Chrysler Corp, Chrysler Holdins LLC and FCA were car manufactures that while having issues here and there like facing bankruptcy…They were also designed and engineered by people that loved what they do.

    Under Stellantis that feeling is gone. All of thier new products both look and feel like…well…a car. Generic in every single way…Nothing different about them compared to any other mundane car manufactures offering…Yet they come with a HUGE price tag…

    All in all…Pugeot was a failing car company and has been living off of the French Government for decades. They build nothing special…And sell it for a premium…And now they somehow became controllers over Stellantis. And it shows.

    Its not a coincidence that CDJR sales are dropping fast while Ford sales are rising. Why do you think that might be?

  4. Nice looking, but how about Chrysler?
    They have nothing!
    Tell us Stellantis of London ,how,you can make money with no product?
    Oh yes, Wall Street paper shuffling.
    Who in the world ever hired Tavares?
    Just one look and one can see incompetence .
    That’s no leader !

  5. Dodger SUV suck hundred thousand miles needs a new engine no warning light no dash lights at all. I am putting in a new engine. And yes, I did all the oil changes, etc.

  6. I already hate dodge for getting rid of the 2 good cars they had now there can and dodge is failing to succeed in making anything good enuf to replace the OG’s so with that if it aint got a V8 IM NOT INTERESTED + EV = trash

  7. I have a 2016 black Dodge Durango Limited with 90,000 miles in upstate New York. I bought it used 5 years ago and I’ve driven it every day, year round and took care of it but never kept it in a garage. I wash it frequently and service it regularly. It looks and runs like brand new! Very proud of and happy with my Detroit made Durango! I’ve Never kept a car this long and I’m in my 70’s.

  8. I’ll wait until the first of the leased cars go on sale! Looks like a nice update! My 2016 Durango Limited has 90,000 miles and looks like new inside and out so it will take an extremely good sales person and a significantly good discount to get me to trade!
