Overview of the latest generation of Dodge Durango

To my great regret, the model range from the American automobile manufacturer "Dodge" in our country is presented rather poorly. And this despite the fact that the company can boast of many machines that deserve the closest attention. One such option was the Dodge Durango. Reviews of domestic motorists indicate that the model would have every chance of success in Russia. The debut of her last generation, which will be discussed later, took place last year during the exhibition in New York.

Appearance

The exterior of the novelty has become yet another proof of the favor of the American population towards the harsh and dimensional cars. The model, in comparison with the previous version, has undergone some significant changes. First of all, we are talking about the use of completely new headlights and LED rear lights in it. The radiator grille of the new Dodge Durango has become less rude. In many ways, designers managed to achieve this thanks to a completely new style of executing the badge of the company, which is placed on it. The customer has the opportunity to choose the "shoes" of the car. In particular, depending on his desire, the machine can be installed discs, the size of which is 18 or 20 inches. As for their finishing, then we offer different color solutions, from polished silver to ultrathin coloring.

Salon

Interior upholstery Dodge Durango is made of soft, pleasant to the touch materials. Depending on the version of the kit, a front panel display is provided, which is 5 or 8.4 inches in size. It is designed to output the signal of the navigation and infotainment system. In addition, there is a possibility of free telephone calls, as well as connection with peripheral devices Wi-Fi. On the three-spoke steering wheel there were petal switches. At the request of the buyer, for a fee, of course, the salon can be equipped with an entertainment system designed for passengers sitting behind. It includes DVD / Blue-Ray players. Appropriate monitors measuring 9 inches in this case are mounted in the front seats.

Specifications

The technical characteristics of the Dodge Durango deserve special mention. Two versions of the engine are provided for the latest version of the model. The first of them is an aggregate consisting of six cylinders, arranged in the form of the letter "V". Its volume is 3.6 liters, and the maximum power - 290 horsepower. The second motor is a V-shaped "eight" with a volume of 5.7 liters, capable of developing 360 "horses". It should be noted that in both cases there are no additional turbochargers that have become very popular lately.

As for the transmission, then in the first and second case, the Dodge Durango is equipped with an automatic eight-step box. In it the place of the usual lever was occupied by the rotary switch. This solution not only made the interior design unusual and exquisite. It also contributed to a reduction in fuel consumption by about nine percent compared to the previous generation, and also improved driving performance. The manufacturer of the transmission is the German company ZF Group.

Security

One of the key characteristics that the car buyer pays attention to is its safety. In connection with the fact that the model Dodge Durango, among other things, is designed for long family trips, the designers have installed in it about 60 different systems, assistants and assistants. Among them, we can mention cruise control, which can stop the car on its own, a warning system for side and head-on collision and even an emergency call button for the rescue service.
