Dodge reopens GT V6 orders for the 2026 Durango and details the V8 lineup

Explore the 2026 Dodge Durango lineup: GT V6 returns with 295 hp from $38,995 (AWD +$2,000), plus 5.7L HEMI, 6.4L R/T, and 710-hp SRT Hellcat. Specs, pricing.

Stellantis-owned Dodge has broadened the powertrain menu for the 2026 Durango in the U.S. market. The headline is the return of order availability for the Durango GT with the well-proven, naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. The GT previously leaned on V8 configurations, but buyer demand prompted the comeback of this more attainable spec — a pragmatic read of what the audience wants.

The Durango GT V6 is rated at 295 hp and 353 Nm of torque, with U.S. pricing from $38,995. All-wheel drive can be added to the GT V6 for an extra $2,000, which neatly broadens the entry point without overcomplicating the choice.

Alongside it remains the Durango GT HEMI AWD with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 producing 360 hp, starting at $42,695. The company frames this model as one of the segment’s most affordable ways into a V8 with all-wheel drive — a tempting middle ground for buyers chasing muscle without jumping to the top of the range.

Higher up sits the Durango R/T with a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 rated at 475 hp; order books for this version are planned to open in the first quarter of 2026. The flagship stays the Durango SRT Hellcat, packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 710 hp and a starting price of $79,995. There’s also the Hellcat Jailbreak, offered with an expanded personalization program that claims millions of appearance and equipment combinations. The structure is clear: from V6 practicality to full-bore Hellcat drama, the lineup steps up in a way that makes sense for different budgets and appetites.
