What New Technology Is In The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat?

 

In late 2021, Dodge stunned the auto industry when it announced that it would not release a 2022 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. Despite the popularity of the 2021 model, the 6.2L V-8 Hellcat engine it contained failed to meet new evaporative emissions standards for SUVs put into place for 2022. This led to the automaker shelving the 2022 model, and it also created some speculation that the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat might not return at all.

Fortunately, this didn’t end up being the case. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is back and better than ever in 2023 after its one-year hiatus. And it remains the most powerful SUV out on the road today. Keep reading to learn more about the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and the variety of features that have Durango SRT Hellcat fans excited for its return.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Exterior

Since Dodge was forced to stick the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat on the sidelines last year, you may have expected them to tinker with its exterior once it was clear the automaker was bringing it back. But for the most part, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat looks a whole lot like Dodge left it back in 2021 — not that that’s a bad thing. It once again has a bulging body that’s clearly inspired by all the different muscle cars in the Dodge lineup. It makes the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat appear every bit as powerful as it is.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Engine

If you think the exterior of the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat looks tough, you’ll definitely want to get a load of the engine. It’s the reason why Dodge can call the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat the most powerful SUV on earth. It has a supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine that can produce up to 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. It also has an eight-speed automatic transmission that can send the engine’s power to all four of the new Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat’s wheels.

Thanks to all this, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat can go from zero to 60 mph in just over 3.5 seconds, and it tops out at 180 mph. It’s also capable of towing up to 8,700 pounds. And as if all of that wasn’t intimidating enough, it has an enhanced exhaust system that makes it sound like the massive beast it is. You’ll be able to hear the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat coming from a mile away (sometimes literally).

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Interior

“Strong” is the word that comes to mind as far as the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is concerned, and it isn’t just because of the vehicle’s muscular exterior and high-powered engine. The interior of the latest Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is strong, too. From its flat-bottom steering wheel with SRT branding to its Nappa leather seats that are both heated and ventilated to its oversized T-handle shifter, everything inside the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat seems larger than life. It even comes with a foldaway third row that provides plenty of space for passengers to stretch out.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Technology Features

It just wouldn’t feel right to get behind the wheel of a 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and see a puny touch screen staring back at you. So Dodge went ahead and added a 10.1-inch touch screen to enable you to take control of the company’s Uconnect 5 software. It also added features such as standard wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa functionality, and it even made it possible to hook up two different Bluetooth devices to Uconnect at the same time.

If all that isn’t enough, you’ll also have the option to add two 9.0-inch touch screens to the back of the front seats. This is a nice option to have if you’re planning on using the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat as a family vehicle.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Safety Features

You shouldn’t have to worry about too many other drivers messing with you when you’re putting the pedal to the metal in a 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. But even still, Dodge didn’t skimp at all when it was time to incorporate safety features into the Durango SRT Hellcat. It comes standard with features such as rear automated emergency braking and automatic high-beam headlights. You’ll also have the opportunity to add optional safety features, such as front automated emergency braking, to the mix if you like.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Pricing

Everything else about the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is supersized. So, it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to hear that, in addition to being the most powerful SUV around, the new Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is also going to be one of the most expensive SUVs on the market. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat starts at $91,185 MSRP. Meanwhile, the SRT Hellcat Plus starts at $97,185 MSRP, and the SRT Hellcat Premium starts at $102,480 MSRP.

Despite these prices, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat sell out completely, either. That’s exactly what happened a couple of years ago when Dodge started selling the 2021 model.
