 About the Dodge Brand
The Dodge brand is tearing into its centennial year with a keen eye
focused on the future and a desire to create vehicles customers
can’t wait to drive and are proud to park in their driveways. With
100 years of history,
Dodge is building on the technological advancements of the ‘30s
and ‘40s, design evolution of the ‘50s, the racing heritage of the
‘60s, the horsepower of the ‘70s, the efficiency of the ‘80s and
unbelievable styling of the ‘90s as it paves the road to its future.
New for 2014, the Dodge Durango “is kind of a big deal,” with a new
eight-speed transmission that delivers up to 25 miles per gallon
(mpg) on the highway, a new 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment center
and best-in-class power, towing, and driving range, in addition to
its class-exclusive technology.

 The new Durango joins a stable that includes the new 2014
Dodge Dart with its breakthrough 2.4-liter 184-horsepower
Tigershark engine, and the celebrated 2014 Dodge Avenger. Both

for Highway Safety (IIHS). Completing the 2014 Dodge lineup are
the Challenger, Charger, Journey and 30th Anniversary Grand
Caravan. The Dodge lineup features five vehicles with
best-in-class power, seven vehicles that deliver 25 mpg or
