Dodge will use the 2020 Chicago Auto Show
to introduce two new packages for the Durango SRT. The first is a Black
appearance package which costs $1,495 and includes a number of black accents.
Among the highlights are gloss black mirror caps, satin black Dodge lettering
and eclipse black exhaust tips. The model also has 20-inch matte vapor wheels,
but brass monkey wheels are also available at no extra cost.
Despite the name, the package isn’t all
about being black. Instead, there’s Durango, SRT and 392 badges in midnight
grey metallic. Another new addition for the 2020 Durango SRT is the Redline
Stripe package. It costs US$ 1,295 and adds a full-length satin black center
stripe with redline red accents.
The updates are minor, but the Durango SRT
is a powerful beast that features a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine with 475 hp and 637 Nm of torque. It is connected to an
eight-speed automatic transmission which sends power to a performance-tuned
all-wheel drive system.
This setup enables the model to accelerate
from 0-96 km/h in 4.4 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12.9
seconds. That’s not too shabby for a six-passenger SUV which can tow up to 3,946 kg. Following their debut in Chicago, the packages will be
available to order in March. If you can’t wait that long, you can head to your
local dealership and grab a 2020 Durango SRT for US$ 62,995.
