Why The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Is The Most Powerful SUV Ever

When it comes to mid-size three-row crossover SUVs, the Dodge Durango is the top performer. Most rivals never reach the SRT Hellcat level.

Other SUVs may include a few more bells and whistles, but they rely on flash to distract you from how much stronger the Dodge Durango really is. The newest version of the Durango comes with some pretty spectacular upgrades. One of the most jaw-dropping things drivers are noticing is the fresh SRT Hellcat model. This trim practically deserves to be its own SUV.

Here’s what you need to know about this Herculean crossover called the SRT Hellcat:

Heart-Pounding Power

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat comes loaded with one of Dodge’s most muscular engines. You’ll be amazed at the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine available only on this model. With this beast under the hood, you’ll have access to 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque.

With standard all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, you’re able to go from zero to 60 mph in a mere 6.2 seconds. That’s over a second faster than the V6 engines offered on lower trims and in competitor’s powertrains.
