The last thing you want to worry about during a spring break vacation is if your vehicle has enough space, comfort, technology, and safety to handle the road or not. Whether planning a cross-country excursion, a weekend getaway, or just a day trip with the family, the 2019 Dodge Durango is the perfect four-wheeled accessory to get you there safely.
Styling
No more fighting over who gets shotgun with all the room in the back of the vehicle. The 2019 Dodge Durango comfortably seats five people in its standard configuration and up to seven people with the available third row. Additional upgraded features for the interior include heated front- and second-row seats, various leather upholstery styles, a heated steering wheel, and power-adjustable and ventilated front seats.
Space is a necessity during any trip and the new 2019 Dodge Durango has you covered with 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats. Gain 43.3 cubic feet by folding them down, and even more when you fold down the second-row seats for a maximum of 85.1 cubic feet. That’s a lot of space, even among three-row crossover SUVs.
Performance
The 2019 Dodge Durango is equipped with a standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine producing 293 horsepower, or 295 horsepower with the upgraded optional dual exhaust option. The V-6 provides more than enough power, along with the dependability you are seeking from Dodge Durango.
There is also an optional 5.7-liter V-8 engine producing 360 horsepower for the Durango Citadel, which provides excellent acceleration and adds 1,000 pounds to the Durango’s towing capacity, topping it out at 7,400 pounds. A quick-shifting, eight-speed transmission allows the new Durango to anticipate the right gear for every situation.
Staying Connected
Not one, but two Uconnect systems are available with the new 2019 Dodge Durango, the standard Uconnect 4 and the optional upgrade Uconnect 4C NAV. While it may come standard, there is nothing basic about the Uconnect 4 with features like a seven-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay support, Android Auto integration, SiriusXM and Bluetooth Streaming Audio.
Move up to the optional Uconnect 4C NAV and increase to an 8.4-inch touch screen, Navigation, SiriusXM Traveling Link, SiriusXM Traffic Plus, and most notably SiriusXM Guardian. Connect with your vehicle like you never imagined you could with great remote access and control along with help when it’s needed with roadside assistance, security alerts, and advanced navigation features.
Safety
One of the most important things to look for in a vehicle, especially before going on a spring break trip, is how safe it is. The Dodge Durango does not falter in safety, providing its passengers with general safety gear such as head restraints to prevent whiplash. The Durango also incorporates advanced technology such as automatic emergency braking, active lane control, lane-departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control. For young children, there are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for securing child car seats in the second-row outboard seats, as well as an additional tether anchor.
The new 2019 Dodge Durango is perfect for any spring break trip regardless of the distance you may be traveling. Stop into Huffines Chrysler Jeep Dodge Lewisville to check out our latest styles and schedule a test drive today.
