2011 Dodge Durango Heat - Click above for high-res image gallery
Dodge has lit up its new
Durango Heat at the
2011 Chicago Auto Show. The mighty crossover wears the fancy dress of the R/T model, but comes without thirsty 5.7-liter Hemi V8 under the hood. Instead, buyers can expect to find the 3.6-liter
Pentastar V6 behind the headlights churning out 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's an extra five ponies over the typical V6 Durango, and combined, Dodge says that the machine should be capable of 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. That's a jump of two and three mpg, respectively, over the Hemi-powered R/T.
Outside, the
Durango Heat wears the same front fascia, side skirts and monochrome treatment as the more powerful crossover, and it even comes packing the same low-slung suspension and 20-inch wheels. Don't expect to find seating for seven indoors, though. Dodge has ditched the third row to save a few pounds to increase both performance and fuel economy.
If you like what you see, expect to shell out $30,295. All-wheel drive guise will set you back an additional $2,000.
