What Owners Say
"excellent handling and aceleration"
Anonymous, NY (2017 Dodge Durango)"I own the Citadel with the 5.7 Hemi. I love the way this car looks and handles (remarkable acceleration and handling with quiet and luxurious interior).This car as all of the advanced safety features and early on the advanced collision braking saved me from two minor collisions one front and one while backing up! I love this car because it provides all the “guy‿ appeal of a hot car that’s good looking and refined. I leased the car because I was concerned about reliability after reading CR. But I’m so happy that I didn’t let that deter me! Lease with be up in another year and one half and I’m hoping Chrysler will keep the styling and handling cues. Btw your review of the Durango was very thorough and mostly complimentary but the reliability concerns almost had me going to a much more mundane Highlander or Sorrento lol. Seems that putting reliability issues aside your review include better than average road test and customer satisfaction which many higher end foreign models don’t provide."
Anthony C., WI (2017 Dodge Durango)"Acceleration is good, and handling is excellent"
Thomas B., MS (2017 Dodge Durango)"Adaptive Cruise Control system has a documented quirk that could cause an accident. When following a car and another car crosses my path (I.e., I am in center lane & car on my rift crosses in front of me to left /turning lane), the system will not reaquire the original vehicle in front of me and maintain the intended interval. In fact, if the car in front of me has stopped while the other car passes across my path, my car will actually accelerate right up into the back of that car unless I brake myself."
Ronald K., NE (2017 Dodge Durango)"Versatile with multiple setting including economy, regular and sport. Provides for options depending on the type of driving I am doing at the time. 6 cylinder engine is a good performer overall and returns excellent economy for it's power."
Richard C., MI (2017 Dodge Durango)"It handles well with minor slippage in heavy snow. Comfortable and well balanced. Accelerates quickly and stops well."

"The Auto Start/Stop is a royal pain and I dont see how it possibly saves fuel. I shut it off now every time that I start the car."
