Currently, the online Dodge portal allows anyone to select the 'old' L-bodied Challenger coupe from $32,800 or the Charger sedan from $35,325 plus the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2-related WD Durango mid-size three-row crossover SUV from $41,670.
We dared to call them old because the third-generation Challenger premiered in 2008, the seventh iteration of the Charger appeared in 2011, and the Durango slotted in between them in 2010. Since they were all growing a little long in the tooth, Dodge proceeded to retire the Challenger to car Valhalla without 'much fuss' around it aside from making it a member of the seven 'Last Call' special editions, which include the 1,025-hp Demon 170.
The Charger, meanwhile, has received a new lease of life with the eighth generation for the 2024 model year in Daytona EV form with R/T and Scat Pack of up to 670-hp variants. After that, starting in 2025, they will also produce and sell the Sixpack models with the 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six mill and up to 500 hp in both four-door sedan and classic two-door fastback coupe form.
Meanwhile, the Durango is looking at the last few turns as a Hemi V8 wonder because it is also getting treated to 'Last Call' special editions; the first one is the SRT 392 AlcHEMI. After that, we are also probably looking at something involving the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 Hellcat before bowing out and making way for what comes next.
Obviously, with all that being said, the next iteration of the mid-size Dodge Durango family crossover seems to be quite a popular subject everywhere – including the rumor mill, which is thinking that Charger's STLA Large new platform is a perfect fit for the CUV, as well, plus the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. The latter really doesn't care if the next Durango comes with electric power only, as an ICE representative, or with both. Instead, they would love to envision it as being close to the actual series production model.
The only trouble is that Dodge is still preoccupied with its Charger Daytona and Sixpack, so they haven't started the proceeds for the next-gen Durango. In fact, we haven't seen any spies just yet, let alone leaked patent drawings or any official teasers. As a matter of fact, Dodge is still promoting the 2024 SRT Hellcat model on social media, which kicks off at $95,995. No worries, as the parallel universes of vehicular CGI are already brimming with next-gen Durango visions.
For example, Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, and he's already come up with a 2026 Dodge Durango EV design project featuring many of the Charger Daytona cues. Now, though, he's back with a second CGI version of the CUV with a simpler look and possibly touting the option of Sixpack under the hood. So, what do you think, and which one is your favorite?
