HEMI Power and All-Wheel Drive Confidence

When it comes to performance, the 2026 Dodge Durango Pursuit AWD relies on a legendary foundation. Under the hood sits the HEMI 5.7L V-8 VVT engine, a powerhouse that delivers a robust 360HP. This isn't just about raw speed; its about having the passing power you need on the Borman Expressway and the steady torque required for heavy-duty tasks. The engine features cylinder deactivation, a smart bit of engineering that helps manage fuel consumption during steady cruising, achieving an EPA-estimated 21 MPG on the highway.

The driving experience is further refined by the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth, precise shifts whether you are stop-and-go driving in Munster, IN or cruising toward the city. Because this is a Pursuit model, it comes equipped with a Heavy-duty ride suspension and Nivomat auto-leveling rear suspension, ensuring the vehicle remains level and composed even when fully loaded with gear or groceries. The Full-time AWD system works silently in the background, constantly monitoring traction to provide grip on rain-slicked roads or icy patches. To keep everything running at peak performance, Dodge has included an Engine oil cooler and a Heavy-duty radiator, components designed to withstand the rigors of extended use and varied climates.

Advanced Connectivity and Intuitive Tech

In todays world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. The 2026 Durango Pursuit makes this easy with the Uconnect 5 Nav with 10.1-inch Display. This expansive touchscreen is the nerve center of the cabin, offering a crisp interface that is easy to navigate even while on the move. With Integrated navigation system with voice activation, finding your way to a new park in Saint John, IN or a business meeting in the city is straightforward and stress-free.
