If you need a crossover with lots of space for the kids, but don’t want to give up fun-to-drive performance, the Dodge Durango R/T may be your perfect fit. Among seven-passenger SUVs with the best performance, Torque News recently exclaimed that the Durango R/T is the most exciting option under $50,000.
The site actually gave kudos to the full lineup, stating: “[T]he entire modern Dodge Durango lineup puts the ‘Sport’ back in Sport Utility Vehicle.” But when it comes to the R/T model specifically, Torque News is extra impressed.
The model they tested features an optional all-wheel-drive system, 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and eight-speed automatic transmission. AWD gives the SUV added traction, which not only helps it stay on track in inclement weather, but also helps it get up to speed faster. The engine’s 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque are also exceptional. Even Edmunds.com’s 2016 Dodge Durango review says the V8 is unparalleled when it comes to its power output and towing capability.
The R/T also stands out from other models in the lineup due to its performance steering with selectable driving modes (including a Sport mode) and lowered sport-tuned suspension. These components aid with enhancing cornering, reducing body roll and delivering an overall more exciting driving experience.
Along with performance, the R/T also hits the mark when it comes to other stuff you might want out of a three-row SUV, including high-end features, a spacious cabin and impeccable style.
