"  To make sure its successful SUV remains competitive in the full-size segment, Dodge decided to focus on making the 2014 Durango look a little meaner and get better fuel efficiency. Exterior styling updates include a new front fascia with Dodge&amp;#039;s new &amp;quot;floating&amp;quot; crosshair grille, projector headlights with optional LED running lights, a restyled rear fascia, and the same rear racetrack taillights seen on the Charger and Dart. The Durango&amp;#039;s new 8-speed transmission is a first for the class and is controlled by a radial shifter knob. Paired with the standard 295-hp Pentastar V-6, Dodge says the Durango will hit 25 mpg on the highway, clear more than 600 miles on a single tank, and tow 6200 pounds. The optional 5.7-liter V-8 provides 360 hp and 390 lb-ft and is capable of towing up to 7400 pounds. The eight-banger will be standard in the Durango performance R/T trim. In total, there will be five trims: SXT, Limited, Citadel, Rallye, and R/T. The Durango is also restyled on the inside with soft-touch materials and lots of ambient lighting. Beyond the new three-spoke steering wheel with standard paddle shifters is a 7-inch, customizable digital instrument cluster screen. In the center stack sits a large 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system. Other tech includes hands-free calling and texting, mobile WiFi hot spot capability, and an optional Blu-ray player with two rear passenger TV screens &amp;quot;essential for those long family trips.&amp;quot; (We had books, but whatever.) There&amp;#039;s also a long list of safety features including forward crash warning with mitigation and adaptive cruise control with full stop. The new Durango has a total of 85 cubic feet of storage and will also have a variety of seating options. Dodge didn&amp;#039;t say anything about pricing, but the new Durango will go on sale in the third quarter of this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
