2016 Dodge Durango Efficiency

If you’re considering the Dodge Durango, then you basically have two options. Consumers can either go with the standard V6 engine that provides better fuel economy or buyers with deeper pockets can opt for the HEMI V8 that offers increased performance capabilities. Durangos equipped with the V8 engine will yield EPA-estimated fuel economy of 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. If you don’t see the need for the 360-horsepower V8, then the V6-equipped Durango can produce EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. In addition, the 2016 Dodge Durango comes standard with a 24.6 gallon fuel tank.

2016 Dodge Durango Interior

The interior of the 2016 Dodge Durango provides seating for up to seven people and standard features include three-zone climate control, as well as the Uconnect infotainment system with voice command. Consumers who move up in trims can also enjoy a Premium Beats audio system and rear DVD entertainment center, but that depends on how much cash they are willing to dish out. Beginning on the Limited trim is the standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen that can be used to access available SiriusXM Traffic, which makes navigating around the city easier due to its constant traffic updates. The new Durango offers more than 84 cubic feet of available storage space when the rear seats are folded down.
