Style
Exterior Features
The GT’s front end got a revamp, and it offers a center air inlet on the SRT-style hood. The 2019 Durango’s styling incorporates a certain toughness, a subtly sporty look, and a fair amount of chrome in a few trim levels. The “racetrack taillight” design spans the entire rear end, and it is undoubtedly distinctive.
Interior Features
Inside the 2019 Durango seems higher in quality than most of its rivals, the deluxe Citadel trim in particular. It’s this version with its heated 2nd-row and heated/ventilated front seats. Most trim levels offer captain’s chairs, and it replaces the bench in the second row, which is easier to access the third row.
The cargo space on all three rows are in place is useful at 17 cubic feet, expanding to 43.3 and then 85.1. The front-passenger seat also folds down, so the Durango can take quite long items. Citadel and SRT versions may also be specified with headliners of simulated suede.
