5 Thrilling Features of the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat

Thunderous HEMI V8

The heart of the Durango SRT Hellcat is Dodge’s legendary 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8, which churns out 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. The engine’s insane output makes the Durango SRT Hellcat the most powerful SUV in the US, featuring a 0-to-60-mph time of 3.5 seconds and an 8,700-lb towing capacity.

Paddle Shifters

A top-of-the-line 8-speed automatic transmission manages the HEMI V8’s horsepower and torque. Although it automates shifting for everyday driving convenience, the transmission system includes steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters that enable manual control. This means that drivers can enjoy engaging upshifts and downshifts anytime without taking their hands off the steering wheel.

Excellent Handling

The Durango SRT Hellcat handles winding roads with grace, thanks to the skillful engineering that went into enhancing its maneuverability. A nearly 50-50 weight distribution boosts the vehicle’s stability, provides uniform traction, and makes steering more predictable. What’s more, the Bilstein high-performance suspension that underpins the SUV provides adaptive damping and excellent lateral stiffness, which reduces body roll and provides consistent handling across various driving conditions.

Brembo Performance Brakes

To bring the V8-powered three-row SUV to a quick halt, a Brembo performance braking system is offered as standard equipment. It incorporates six-piston calipers and large brake rotors to produce tremendous friction near-instantly.

Bold Presence

The Durango SRT Hellcat’s bold appearance draws glances on the streets and strikes fear on the track. Its defining features include smooth body contours and a prominent shoulder line that runs along the sides. The SUV’s front fascia is defined by sleek LED low- and high-beam headlights, a blacked-out wide-open grille, a functional scoop, and aggressive lower air intakes, while the rear end sports signature Dodge LED racetrack taillights.

Buyers who want their Durango SRT Hellcat to appear even sportier can choose from three special edition models. The Silver Bullet special edition comes with a Triple Nickel body color, a satin black painted hood, and red brake calipers. Meanwhile, the Brass Monkey special edition features a Red Oxide body color, a satin black painted hood, and black brake calipers, and the Hammerhead special edition features a Night Moves body color, a satin black painted hood, and black brake calipers.

If you refuse to choose between a family hauler and a tire-shredding dragster, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was built just for you. Contact us at Criswell Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Gaithersburg, MD to take the first step in making the three-row SUV yours.
