The Dodge Durango has been around for more than a decade now but the automaker is not ready to retire it just yet. The SUV is entering the 2022 model year with an available R/T Plus trim, which will set you back at least US$ 53,820, which includes the additional US$ 1,595 destination charge. That’s surely not what we would call affordable, but let’s take a look at the full pricing information.
The figure above is for the
rear-wheel-drive models, while the optional AWD system adds a further US$ 2,600,
meaning the base 2022 Durango R/T Plus AWD costs US$ 56,420 with destination
charge included. You can now build your own 2022 Durango on the company’s Build
& Price online configurator, where the
R/T Plus has also been added recently.
The standard equipment of the Plus package
for the 2022 model year includes a sunroof, a 19-speaker 825-watt Harman Kardon
audio system, an upgraded instrument panel, a suede headliner, and Nappa
leather seats. On the safety side, the model also comes packed from the factory
with Blind-Spot Detection, Forward-Collision Warning-Plus, Adaptive Cruise
Control with Stop Function, Advanced Brake Assist, and Lane Departure
Warning-Plus.
There are several optional features, as
MoparInsider reports. These include a rear-seat DVD entertainment kit (US$ 1,995),
exterior stripes by Mopar (US$ 1,195), a blacktop appearance package (US$ 1,395), red
Brembo brakes with SRT Performance pads (US$ 395), forged carbon fiber interior
accents (US$ 995), and others. The sporty SUV is available in four exterior
colors, DB Black, White Knuckle, Octane Red, and Destroyer Gray.
Under the hood of the 2022 Durango R/T
Plus is a 5.7-liter HEMI V8, good for 360 horsepower and 529 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an eight-speed
automatic gearbox from ZF.
