Versatile, sizable, and powerful, the 2018 Dodge Durango is one of the bad boys of the full-size SUV segment. It’s tough and rugged enough to tackle the off-road, yet smooth enough to tackle your day-to-day driving. With these excellent qualities, it’s no surprise that the tech features of the Durango often go overlooked. However, the Durango’s tech-savvy amenities are one of the aspects that make it a strong contender in the 2018 SUV market lineup. Here’s a look at all it has to offer this year.
Memory Feature
If you’ve ever let your spouse, friend, or child drive your car, you know how annoying it is when you hop back in, only to find that your knees are pressed against the steering wheel or you can’t reach the pedals. The 2018 Dodge Durango fixes this problem by offering a memory feature that’s good for up to two drivers.
At the push of a button, it recalls your previous steering wheel height, seat position, side mirror position, and even your radio settings. Instead of having to fine-tune everything when you get in the car, the Durango does it for you quickly and pain-free.
Dual-Screen Blu-Ray Entertainment System
Bickering children is a part of parenthood, but when you can amend the problem with little to no effort, it saves you time and stress. That’s just what you’ll get with the Durango’s dual-screen Blu-Ray entertainment system. With two flip-up, 9-inch screens mounted to the headrests of the front seats, all five passengers can watch a movie or play games in high definition. Dual HDMI ports also allow your passengers to watch separate programs at the same time, avoiding a potentially angry clash between siblings.
Even if you don’t have children, this entertainment system is perfect for road trips and tailgating. When you’re on the open road with friends in the middle of nowhere, sometimes it’s nice to unwind with a movie. At sporting events, bring your gaming console to let your friends get excited for the big game.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
If you’re like most Americans, the thought of being without your smartphone is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment. Fortunately, you can stay connected to your electronic friend and organizer with the Durango’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features. With an easy setup, you can connect your iOS-based or Android device to the Durango’s head unit for easy access to navigation, communication, social media, and other apps.
Not only does this make it easier to get to your most-used apps, but it also keeps your eyes off your phone and on the road, dramatically increasing your safety.
Beats Audio
When you want to roll up to the party or social event in style, the available Beats Audio sound system is your greatest ally. Using the latest in aural technology designed by Dr. Dre himself, this system boasts nine speakers and a subwoofer powered by a 506-watt, 120-channel amplifier. From Al Green to ZZ Top, you’ll have the party rocking before you even arrive.
With entertainment, communication, and convenience covered, the Durango’s tech features are some of the best in the industry. Not only does it make driving easier, but your commute or ride just got a bit more fun and manageable.
