Dodge.com Updates Site To Include 2023 Dodge Durango Lineup!

Build & Price Configurator Has Been Updated Too...

The popular three-row Dodge Durango (WD) returns for another model year and continues to demonstrate its proven performance with a combination of uncompromised utility, technology, class-leading towing capability, driving dynamics, and head turning good looks. It also marks the return of the SUV performance icon: the Dodge Durango SRT HELLCAT.

It’s been almost three months, since we broke the story that Dodge would be offering three different variants of the Durango SRT HELLCAT for 2023. At the time, we briefly touched on the options, pricing, and color options for the 710 horsepower monster. But for those who were interested in configurating their own high-performance SUV, Dodge continued to not update its website for the 2023 model year.

But we are happy to report, that has now changed. Dodge has updated its website and Build & Price configurator to include the entire lineup of 2023 Dodge Durango models ranging from the modest SXT model to the luxury high-performance SRT HELLCAT Premium model.

SRT HELLCAT (starting at $91,185) –

The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT HELLCAT loses nothing in its rebirth and is once again fueled by the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® HELLCAT V8 producing 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. Durango SRT HELLCAT has the numbers to back up its performance claims as it can dash from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and run the 1/4-mile in 11.5 as certified by the NHRA, as well as reach a top speed of 180 mph.

As with the 2021 model, key engine performance features and components include:

    • Dedicated cooling circuit for the charge air coolers integrated in the supercharger housing, including a pump, coolant reservoir and heat exchanger, designed to keep air flowing into the engine cooler than 140°F
    • Twin-screw rotors in the supercharger set close to minimize air leakage and ensure maximum performance
    • Integrated electronic bypass valve regulates boost pressure to a maximum of 11.6 psi (80 kPa); the 2.38-liter supercharger uses a drive ratio of 2.36:1 and has a maximum speed of 14,600 rpm
    • Cast-iron engine block with water jackets between the cylinders for optimal cooling

    • Exhaust system tuned to deliver a throaty Dodge DNA sound
