How much does the 2023 Dodge Durango cost?

Prices are up 6.58% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 4,497 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability. If you find a listing below $29,842.38, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2023 Dodge Durango a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Dodge Durango earns a 4.67/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise its styling, powerful performance, and spaciousness. The review summary also points to a comfortable ride and strong V6 fuel economy, which broadens its appeal beyond the V8 versions. On the other hand, some owners call out interior quality concerns, especially in the back seat, along with depreciation after purchase.

For you, that means the Durango makes the most sense if you want a three-row SUV with personality and strong road presence rather than a purely practical family hauler. With 35.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, there are still opportunities in the market if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Dodge Durango reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a vehicle that many drivers find satisfying over time, with praise centered on styling, performance, and spaciousness. It also highlights the Durango’s strong V6 fuel economy and comfortable ride, both of which can support day-to-day dependability for used buyers. The expert notes also emphasize the Durango’s long-running platform and its ability to keep evolving through powertrain and equipment updates.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that higher-running-cost versions can be expensive to live with, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot more than badge appeal alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Dodge Durango?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on higher-mileage examples and on versions with more complex equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the Durango’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and equipped.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SXT is the most stripped-down version, and it misses some of the more desirable driver-assistance features that appear on higher trims. The Citadel adds more luxury-oriented equipment, while the SRT models bring more aggressive styling and performance hardware.
• Powertrain: The lineup starts with a 3.6-liter V6, then moves to a 5.7-liter V8, a 6.4-liter V8, and a 6.2-liter supercharged V8. Fuel economy is strongest with the V6 and drops substantially as you move up to the V8s.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert are standard, but forward collision warning is only standard on the Citadel and optional on other models. Lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking are also standard only on the Citadel and are not available on the base SXT.
• Infotainment: SXT and GT models use an 8.4-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Citadel and the two SRT models get a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the newer Uconnect 5 system.
• Fuel efficiency: The base V6 with rear-wheel drive is rated at 21 mpg combined. The 5.7-liter V8 is rated at 17 mpg combined, the 6.4-liter V8 at 15 mpg combined, and the supercharged 6.2-liter engine at 13 mpg combined.

Which 2023 Dodge Durango trim should I buy?

The 2023 Dodge Durango is offered in 5 trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Citadel, and SRT 392.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The SXT gives you the entry point, but it lacks some of the more advanced driver-assistance features that appear on higher trims, and its infotainment setup is the smaller 8.4-inch system with wired smartphone integration.
• Sweet-spot trim: The GT is the best value if you want a more affordable Durango with the same basic personality and available appearance upgrades, while still avoiding the cost jump of the V8-focused trims.
• Premium/top trim: The Citadel is the most well-rounded upscale choice because it adds Nappa leather, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more standard safety tech.
• Off-road trim: None of the trims here are positioned as an off-road-focused choice.

The Citadel is the trim that most clearly bundles the safety-package upgrades, so it is the one to prioritize if you want the most complete everyday setup.

If you find a listing below $29,842.38, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Dodge Durango's resale value?

The current average of $33,882 sits slightly above last year's $31,790.

That upward move suggests the market is still willing to pay for this model year, which can help support resale value if you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition. The Durango’s broad appeal also helps: shoppers continue to respond to its styling, performance, and three-row utility. At the same time, the price increase means future sellers may benefit most if they avoid overpaying now and choose a well-kept example.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Dodge Durango safe?

The 2023 Dodge Durango received top "Good" marks in the original-format moderate front overlap and side tests, as well as the roof strength test, but it received a "Marginal" score in the driver-side small overlap front test. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it a four-star overall safety rating, with five-star ratings in the side crash test, four-star ratings in the frontal crash test, and four-star ratings in the rollover test for RWD versions or three-star ratings for AWD models.

It earns a 4/10 safety score from our experts.

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert are standard on all trim levels. Forward collision warning is standard only on the Citadel and available as part of an option package on other models. Lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking are also standard only on the Citadel and are not available at all on the base SXT model.

The Marginal small-overlap result is the main caution here, and the limited standard driver-assistance content means you should pay close attention to trim choice if safety is a priority.

Should I buy a 2023 Dodge Durango or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 35.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 6.58% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The return of the Durango SRT Hellcat as a regular production model makes this year especially distinctive for performance-focused shoppers.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current-market availability, owner satisfaction, and this year’s standout performance story, the 2023 is the one to target. If you are more price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and look for a lower-priced example near the bottom of the range, especially if you are willing to trade down from the higher trims.
