Dodge Durango is a unique SUV that stands out from its peers. This SUV combines fuel economy and high on-and off-road performance. Dodge Durango that is equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine comes with a cutting-edge fuel saver feature that utilize the Variable Valve Timing System to manage the amount of fuel consumed in the combustion chamber.
This system achieves this by detecting and shutting down half of the engine when the excess power is not required. The engine will turn off the four cylinders of the V8 engine to provide just the right amount of power demanded by the 8-speed automatic transmission.
Another fuel-economy system that comes standard with all the powertrain options of the Dodge Durango SUV is the ECO mode. When this mode is activated, the transmission will delay the up and down shifting to conserve energy when driving under normal condition. This is ideal when driving in heavy traffic areas or flat terrains.
