2027 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Release Date – The 2027 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat continues as the most powerful gas-powered three-row SUV available in the United States. Powered by the legendary supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8, it delivers 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque while retaining family-friendly practicality, including up to seven seats and best-in-class towing capacity.
This model year focuses on expanded personalization rather than major mechanical changes, keeping the long-running third-generation platform (dating to 2011) alive with fresh options for American buyers seeking unapologetic muscle SUV performance.
2027 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Release Date and Availability
Dodge opened ordering for the full 2027 Durango lineup, including the SRT Hellcat, in early June 2026. Vehicles are scheduled to begin arriving at U.S. dealerships in the fall of 2026.
As of August 2026, interested buyers can contact their local Dodge dealer to place orders, secure allocations (especially important for high-demand Hellcat models), and confirm production timing. The online configurator may vary in availability, so dealer assistance is recommended for full customization.
Pricing for the 2027 Durango SRT Hellcat
The 2027 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat starts at $82,490 (including destination charges in reported figures). The optional Jailbreak package adds $995, bringing the starting price for a Jailbreak model to approximately $83,485–$83,845 depending on exact destination and fees.
These prices reflect a modest increase of around $500 from the prior year. Final out-the-door cost varies with options, taxes, title, and dealer fees. All Durango models for 2027 are all-wheel-drive only.
Powertrain and Performance Specs
Under the hood sits the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V-8 producing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. Power routes through an eight-speed automatic transmission to a performance-tuned all-wheel-drive system.
Independent testing shows 0-60 mph times as quick as 3.4 seconds and quarter-mile runs in the low 11-second range. Official figures cite approximately 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and an NHRA-certified 11.5-second quarter-mile. Top speed reaches around 180 mph. Towing capacity stands at a class-leading 8,700 pounds.
Fuel economy remains secondary to performance, typically rated in the low teens combined. Brembo brakes (large two-piece front rotors with six-piston calipers) and adaptive damping suspension with Bilstein shocks support the high-performance capability.
What’s New for 2027 on the SRT Hellcat?
Mechanical changes are minimal. The focus is personalization through the expanded Jailbreak package, which now unlocks more than 14 million possible combinations.
Key additions include:
- Two new forged Y-spoke wheel designs (Machine Face and Foreshadow)
- New Pitch Black exterior paint option
- New six-passenger seating configuration with black Nappa leather and suede
- Additional wheel, badge, seat belt, and brake caliper color choices
- Enhanced digital security feature to help prevent unauthorized key pairing and key-fob copying
A day at the Radford Racing School remains available for Hellcat buyers to experience the vehicle’s full potential on track.
Interior, Features, and Capability
The cabin seats five, six, or seven passengers depending on configuration (captain’s chairs or bench). Standard equipment includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Alpine audio, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and performance-oriented SRT displays with launch control.
Cargo space and towing capability make it a genuine family hauler despite the extreme power. Practical touches like a Class IV hitch and trailer brake controller are available or standard on performance models.
Why the 2027 Durango SRT Hellcat Matters for U.S. Buyers?
In an era of downsizing and electrification, the Durango SRT Hellcat stands out as the only three-row SUV offering this level of supercharged V-8 performance across all 50 states. It combines supercar-rivaling acceleration with real-world utility that few competitors match.
The current generation continues for at least one more year, with a next-generation Durango expected no earlier than 2028 or 2029. For enthusiasts who want maximum horsepower in a practical package right now, the 2027 model remains the clear choice.
Contact a local Dodge dealer today to explore configurations, check allocation availability, and secure your build before fall deliveries ramp up. The 710-horsepower three-row muscle SUV is ready for another year of dominating American roads.
