December 19, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – Dodge is supercharging the holiday season and delivering a horsepower-packed gift down the chimney, announcing production of HEMI®-powered Dodge Durango models will continue into the 2025 calendar year.

Dodge first ramped up full production of HEMI-fueled Dodge Durango models in 2004. The brand’s 20th anniversary celebration of the power-packed duo has included the introduction of four limited-production special-edition models: the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Hammerhead, Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Dodge Durango R//T 20th Anniversary edition.

The continued availability of the HEMI engine in the Durango lineup, as well as the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine for the Durango GT, adds to the Dodge brand’s growing list of multi-energy vehicle options.
The all-new Dodge Charger Daytona, the Dodge brand’s muscle car of the future, launches with the brand’s first all-electric cars, followed in the second half of 2025 by gas-powered two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and four-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. models powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo I-6 Hurricane engine.
