Upgrade to LED Front Turn Signals and Automatic High-Beam Headlamps on the GT trim. However, all trims above that come standard with those features.

Interior

The interior of the Durango was inspired by the Dodge Challenger and includes features such as the new ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) Dashboard Screen. Among other useful features, it also includes hard button controls for the available Heated / Ventilated Seats and available Heated Steering Wheel. Find additional comfort with the available eight-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment. Style and luxury is a focus for the Durango with its fifteen different seat colors / material options for the interior of the vehicle. Dodge also understands the difficulty that accessing the back seat can create, so they have added standard Second-Row Fold and Tumble Seats to make it easier than ever to access those back seats. With 50+ seating configurations you will always be able to find the perfect setup to suit your current passenger and cargo needs.

Apple CarPlay® Support and Android Auto™ Integration comes standard across the Durango lineup but to take things up a notch, you can upgrade to the available Uconnect® 5 with Navigation and its 10.1-inch touchscreen. Not only is the system itself designed with the driver in mind, the touch screen has been engineered to have a 7-degree orientation toward the driver which creates an even more ergonomic drive experience. The standard 7-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display and standard Uconnect® Voice Command only add to the ease of which the Durango can be operated.

Although it may be hard at times to keep all passengers content, the Durango’s available Wireless Charging Pad, 9-inch Dual-Screen HDMI Blu-Ray™ Screens, two additional USB charging ports, standard Second-Row Center Console with single USB, 115-Volt Outlet, and Climate Controls make things much easier.
