Will the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat with a V8 engine be released in 2026?

It seems Dodge isn't giving up on the V8 engine, meaning the Durango will have two versions, R/T and SRT Hellcat, and will reappear in another year.

Dodge has released details about the 2026 Durango to quell rumors that the current generation will end after 2025. In addition to extending the Durango's lifespan by at least another year, Dodge also confirmed the return of the R/T and SRT Hellcat variants equipped with V8 engines.

The prices for the GT and R/T models remain the same as in 2025, at $40,490 and $51,990 respectively, while the price of the SRT Hellcat will be announced later this year.

Dodge continued to surprise everyone with the launch of the Durango SRT Hellcat in 2021, initially thought to only last a year. However, after a one-year hiatus, Dodge executives realized declining sales. Therefore, the company decided to bring the Durango Hellcat back in 2023.

Then again in 2024, and then continuing with a series of special editions for 2025. On Dodge's side, the common thread for the Durango is the "final 2023", "final 2024", and "final edition 2025" versions.

This time, Dodge didn't mention a "final edition," meaning the company is planning to extend the production run by another year. They will announce the seven-seater Hellcat model in the third quarter of this year.

Alongside the high-performance model, Dodge announced details for the entire 2026 Durango lineup, including the GT version with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine (295 horsepower and 352 Nm of torque), and the R/T version with a 5.7L Hemi V8 engine (360 horsepower and 529 Nm of torque).

The GT model will remain unchanged, including the price starting at $40,490 (approximately 1.045 billion VND). The Durango SRT Hellcat is equipped with a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine producing 710 horsepower and 874 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.

The R/T version adds two new wheel options and the $5,990 Tow 'N Go package returns as a standalone option. Additionally, there's the $3,495 Blacktop Redline package, which includes 20x8.0-inch Black Noise wheels, black badges, and special SRT front and rear spoilers.

The R/T version retains its price of $51,990 (1.342 billion VND) from last year. Orders for the GT and R/T models are expected to open in June, with deliveries to dealerships around the third quarter of this year.
