Auburn Hills, Mich. December 19, 2024 - Dodge is supercharging the holiday season and delivering a horsepower-packed gift down the chimney, announcing production of HEMI®-powered Dodge Durango models will continue into the 2025 calendar year.  

Due in part to market demand and customer feedback, the brand’s three-row SUV will continue to roar with an available supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine, producing 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, standard on the Durango R/T and delivering 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.

“The Dodge Durango and the HEMI engine form a powerful pair, and Dodge will continue to produce the most powerful gas engine SUV on the planet into the 2025 calendar year,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO – Stellantis. “It’s the perfect capstone for our celebration of 20 years of HEMI-powered Durango models.”

Dodge first ramped up full production of HEMI-fueled Dodge Durango models in 2004. The brand’s 20th anniversary celebration of the power-packed duo has included the introduction of four limited-production special-edition models: the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Hammerhead, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Dodge Durango R//T 20th Anniversary edition. All 2025 Dodge Durango special-edition models are available now for ordering at dealerships.

The continued availability of the HEMI engine in the Durango lineup, as well as the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine for the Durango GT, adds to the Dodge brand’s growing list of multi-energy vehicle options.

The all-new Dodge Charger Daytona, the Dodge brand’s muscle car of the future, launches with the brand’s first all-electric cars, followed in the second half of 2025 by gas-powered two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. models powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo I-6 Hurricane engine. The Dodge Hornet offers the choice of the Dodge Hornet R/T performance plug-in hybrid or the Dodge Hornet GT driven by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder Hurricane4 engine.

For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge. Today, that legacy roars louder than ever in the next-generation lineup of Dodge, America’s performance brand.

The new Dodge Charger multi-energy lineup features:
  • the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger Scat Pack, powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo SIXPACK high-output (H.O.) engine — the most powerful Hurricane engine in production
  • the SIXPACK-powered standard-output (S.O.) 420-horsepower Dodge Charger R/T
  • the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car in the all-electric 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack
Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive and offers two-door coupe or four-door sedan configurations — because muscle should never be one size fits all.

The Dodge lineup is also fueled by the fastest American gas-powered SUV ever, the 710-horsepower Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, powered by the legendary supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, now available in all 50 states. The new Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak opens up a can of crazy on the three-row SUV, unlocking millions of potential customization combinations. The 360-horsepower 5.7-liter Durango GT HEMI AWD remains the most affordable AWD V-8 in the industry.
