2025 Dodge Durango
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Dodge Durango is a three-row, body-on-frame-adjacent midsize SUV that has carved out a distinct identity as one of the few performance-leaning family haulers in its segment. Aimed at buyers who want genuine V8 muscle alongside people-mover practicality, the Durango competes in a crowded space but stands apart through its rear-wheel-drive roots and available high-output engines. Our coverage spans the 2019 through 2025 model years.
The 2025 Dodge Durango earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 83 out of 100, a strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally praise the Durango for its rare combination of V8 performance, genuine three-row seating, and towing capability in a segment that has largely moved toward crossover-style platforms. Most acknowledge the interior and technology have aged relative to newer competitors, and the ride and efficiency are frequently flagged as trade-offs for the model's performance-oriented character.
