First Drive Experience
We drove all the 2022 Dodge Durango models of different power variants, thanks to the cooperation and encouragement we received from the Dodge dealer Gilroy. Driving with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft torque was experiencing a true sports car drive while the 5.7-liter Hemi-V-8 engine making 360 horsepower simply swept us off our feet in excitement.
Acceleration prowess in every 2022 Dodge Durango can’t be doubted, especially at the time of highway merges and while managing undulated road surfaces. It was surely one among the fastest of its kind, reaching 0-60 mph in 6.2 seconds in a smooth flow. The outside noise did not creep in, and the spacious and clean interior atmosphere kept us energetic and fresh, even after a hectic highway drive.
