A new hybrid gas-electric powertrain joins the lineup for 2009
, permitting a 40-percent improvement in fuel economy in heavy traffic. The Dodge Durango Hybrid model is often a durable vehicle with strong towing capacity that gets decent fuel economy in commuter visitors.


This second-generation Durango, which initial appeared as a 2004 model, fits between the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition in exterior dimensions. It’s larger than midsize SUVs, like the Ford Explorer, and has the room and feel of a full-size SUV
, like the Expedition and Tahoe.


Durango delivers seating for five, seven or eight, depending on the model; for example, optional second-row bucket seats present seven-passenger capacity on a three-row model. With all seats folded, there is more than 100 cubic feet of cargo space. You are able to slide full-size sheets of plywood in back.


A V6 is regular
, but two V8s are available and both are superb. The 4.7-liter V8 can be a Flex Fuel engine that will run on gasoline or up to 85 percent ethanol (E85). It’s smooth and powerful, but drivers who want or require far more can opt for the celebrated five.7-liter Hemi, which gains 30 horsepower for 2009. Both V8s come with a five-speed automatic transmission that is smooth, refined, and responsive. This transmission consists of a TowHaul feature we like that holds lower gears longer when towing to decrease gear looking.


The biggest news for 2009 will be the addition of a Hybrid model that utilizes the Hemi V8 and two electric motors. Dodge says the Durango Hybrid gets a 25-percent fuel economy boost in combined city and highway driving
, along with a 40-percent boost within the city.


New for 2009, the obtainable rear DVD entertainment system gains Sirius Backseat TV. Dodge’s MyGIG hard-drive radio is now known as UConnect GPS in the Durango and its hard-drive grows from 20 to 30 gigabytes. The base SXT model has also been replaced by an SE model and last year’s Adventurer model is gone.
