Our tester is a V8-powered �Crew� version. Even as the cheapest V8 model, it is rather well-loaded. And it looks rather good.
The rear looks a lot like the Jeep Grand Cherokee from which it is derived, but make no mistake, the Durango is much longer and rides lower.
The interior is covered in soft-touch materials on all the upper areas, feeling much more premium than the plasticky Honda MR-V, GMC Acadia and Nissan Pathfinder, making it more of a competitor for the VW Touareg and the Volvo XC90.
The rear offers immense legroom, with many a/c vents, cup-holders and door pockets. Higher models likely get a DVD entertainment system.
The third row is easy enough to access and is pretty spacious too, with decent legroom for average-sized people and roof a/c vents.
The cargo area under the powered tailgate can hold a decent amount of groceries without putting down the third row.
The 2011 Dodge Durango seems to be the ideal minivan for those who don�t want a minivan, offering aggressive style, premium ambience and even a low-range gear should you get stuck in beach sand. Chrysler really has become the company to watch.
