Dodge is Offering a Stout Discount On the 2025 Durango Hellcat

Automakers often want to wring every last penny of profit out of existing vehicles before discontinuing them, and Dodge is one of the best at the practice. It rolled out several “final-edition” versions of the Charger and Challenger before cutting the cord, and now, we’re seeing a similar approach with the Durango. It debuted several special versions of the SUV for its last year in 2025, but we’ve also recently learned that the once one-year-only Durango Hellcat will remain on sale with a significant discount.

CarsDirect found the pricing, which shows a $7,100 cut on 2025 Durango Hellcats. Dodge sent a bulletin to dealers alerting them of the change, which comes out to $10 per horsepower. The discounts only apply to purchases, so leases don’t qualify, but the incentives could make the difference for buyers on the fence about the almost $109,000 starting price.

Other Durango models see smaller discounts for the year, including up to $2,500 for the R/T and $500 for the GT Plus AWD. Those variants are ok, but they’re nowhere near as exciting as the Durango Hellcat. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 makes 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, pushing it to 60 mph from a standstill in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph.

Some of you will undoubtedly point to Dodge’s quality and the somewhat overdone application of the Hellcat motor as reasons to avoid the Durango, but it’s hard to overstate the cool factor of a three-row SUV that can run the quarter mile in the elevens. I won’t be buying one, but I’m on board with Dodge’s willingness to throw its rowdy V8 into a family vehicle, and I’m sad to see it going away.
