Only a few vehicles qualify as true straight-line missiles, but America’s most powerful SUV, the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, is definitely on the list. Some of this track-ready seven-seater’s standout traits include its HEMI V8 engine, near-perfect weight distribution, Brembo performance brakes, and three-row seating configuration.
HEMI V8 Engine
A supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 lurks under the hood of the Durango SRT Hellcat. This insanely powerful engine churns out 710 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque, positioning the SUV as the most powerful in its class in the US. The Durango is also the last vehicle to feature this iconic V8, as it is currently being phased out of production.
710 hp on the racetrack converts to a vision-blurring top speed of 180 mph. Putting the pedal to the metal rockets the Durango SRT Hellcat from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
Near-Perfect Weight Distribution
Despite being a three-row mid-size SUV, the Durango SRT Hellcat’s weight distribution is similar to sports cars. The vehicle’s almost perfectly balanced chassis improves maneuverability by increasing stability and reducing body roll. The weight distribution also benefits the AWD drivetrain by providing uniform traction.
Brembo Performance Brakes
To keep the mighty SUV’s 710 hp in check, Brembo performance brakes come standard. The setup incorporates large rotors, which improve heat dissipation, as well as six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.
Bold Presence
Another standout trait of the 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat is its bold, head-turning presence. The SUV’s appearance is defined by a muscular body and athletic design elements. Its front fascia sports slim LED headlamps, a blacked-out grille, large bumper-mounted air intakes, and functional hood vents. The Durango SRT Hellcat rides on large 20×10-inch wheels, which come in a variety of stylish finishes.
Buyers who want a more exclusive look for their Durango SRT Hellcat can choose from three head-turning special edition models. The Silver Bullet model comes with a Triple Nickel body color and Satin Black wheels. The Brass Monkey variant features an exclusive Red Oxide body color and Brass Monkey wheels. Meanwhile, the Hammerhead model comes with a Night Moves body color and Satin Carbon wheels.
Comfortable Interior
Despite being a monster on the track, the Durango SRT Hellcat is perfectly capable of accommodating the needs of a big family. There are three rows of seats, with 40.3 inches of legroom in the front, 38.6 inches in the second row, and 33.5 inches in the third row. Standard creature comforts passengers enjoy include heated, ventilated, and 8-way power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system.
