Dodge Durango Hellcat Returns for 2026

Dodge has been suggesting the eventual demise of the Durango SRT Hellcat since its original reveal in 2020. Back then, the company planned to make about 2,000 units before ending production. Demand for the supercharged V-8-powered SUV never settled, though, so the company tacked on another 1,000 units for customers. That sentiment snowballed, and now, five years later, Dodge is still making Durango Hellcats for 2026, with no signs of stopping.

We don’t blame them. Despite first appearing in 2010, the third-generation Durango is still a sales leader for Dodge, with nearly 60,000 units sold in 2024. It’s on pace to beat that number in 2025, with 34,399 examples sold through the first half of the year. 

The Durango Hellcat, then, is the crown jewel of Dodge’s current lineup. The company doesn’t mess with a good thing for 2026, retaining the super-SUV’s sporty, muscular looks and supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 engine. As before, it’s rated at 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, sending power to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic.

A revamped Jailbreak trim—inspired by the Jailbreak program seen on the Challenger SRT Demon 170—will allow buyers to choose “nearly any color imaginable” for their 2026 Durango Hellcat. Buyers can also choose between six wheel options, six exterior badge color choices, five racing stripe designs, and five interior colors. You can also option five-, six-, or seven-seat configurations, an Alcantara steering wheel, black exhaust tips, a suede headliner, a sunroof, and a black hood.

The sheer number of choices means there are over six million unique combinations available, according to the brand. So if you’re adventurous with your order, you’ll likely have a one-of-one specification—especially if you go for a custom color.

Dodge has yet to release pricing for the 2026 Durango SRT Hellcat, but says order books will open on August 11, with deliveries set to begin in Q4 of 2025.
