We can evaluate them on wheels, 0-60 acceleration, engine, and how long it takes them to cover a quarter-mile at top speed. These are considered some of the more important power/performance metrics especially for those who love peak speed and off-road capability. Here’s how each of them fares when tested by Edmunds.com:
Wheels: Both SUV models, the Durango and Trackhawk possess four-wheel-drive, whereas the two sedans, Challenger and Charger, operate with rear-wheel drive. 0-60 Time: Each of these models is an automatic transmission. The Trackhawk has the fastest pick-up at 3.7 seconds followed by the Durango at 3.9 seconds, the Charger at 4.1 seconds, and the Challenger at 4.2 seconds. Engine: The Challenger has the greatest horsepower with 797 HP, the Durango comes in second with 710 HP, followed by the Trackhawk and Charger at 707 HP. Each vehicle has a 6.2-liter engine. Quarter Mile: The Challenger completes this the quickest at 11.7 seconds (at 127 mph), in second is the Trackhawk at 11.8 seconds (at 114.5 mph), then the Charger at 11.9 seconds (at 123 mph), and finally the Durango at 12.1 seconds (at 113.1 mph).So, other than having a slightly slower time completing the quarter-mile sprint, the 2021 Dodge Durango is very competitive in terms of power and performance. This means it hangs in there with the powerful Jeep and sedans that it’s pitted against. The Durango does surprisingly well against a class of vehicles that are much sportier than the typical SUV.
