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.

I don’t particularly want one, but I’m glad Stellantis makes them and that anyone who wants to buy one can do so. I hope Stellantis changes their mind and continues production of these cars past the planned end date.

How is Dodge giving discounts on Toyota Stouts and where can I redeem this?

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
