Interior - What the Auto Press Says

Though the interior of the 2009 Dodge Durango is well-styled, reviewers complain of cramped seating.

  • "Large, airy cabin with clean, modern styling and three rows of seats," -- Motor Week
  • "Inside the cabin, you'll find clean lines. . .[but] the Durango is no class leader when it comes to interior style." --Edmunds

Seating

The Durango seats five, but when properly equipped it can accommodate up to eight passengers, which Dodge touts as best in its class.

  • "Headroom and legroom are generous, even beneath the housing of the optional sunroof." -- Consumer Guide
  • The front seats are "neither too soft nor too firm," --New Car Test Drive
  • "The cabin is roomy in most respects, but unfortunately, adults will likely find that the second row's available legroom is rather tight." -- Edmunds

Interior Features

The Durango has some innovative interior features, including satellite TV for rear-seat passengers. The interior materials and layout are middle of the road.

  • "Cabin materials are neither fancy nor exceptionally cheap looking. Despite some lightweight plastic pieces, most everything appears durable and looks appropriate for the price, at least on conventional models. " -- Consumer Guide
  • "Modern and functional, the Dodge Durango's cabin was designed with family-style versatility in mind -- but not high-quality materials." -- Edmunds
  • "The handsome dash is clean, simple and easy to use, with controls well within the driver's reach and logically arranged." -- Kelley Blue Book

Cargo

The Durango boasts 102.4 cubic feet of cargo room, which is coupled with thoughtful design.

  • "There are many useful small storage areas inside the vehicle and within reach of the front passengers that complement the huge rear cargo area. In addition, there are two power outlets for charging the equipment that travelers need." -- The Auto Channel
  • "With all seats folded, there's more than 100 cubic feet of cargo space." New Car Test Drive
