Are you in the market for a hardy SUV with Canada’s favourite engine rumbling underneath the hood? Then you need to take a look at the 2021 Dodge Durango lineup. When compared to the 2021 Hyundai Palisade, you can easily which model offers the superior base powertrain.
Â
While the Durango can be fitted with one of four different motors, many of the trim levels are equipped with the best-selling 3.6-litre Pentastar V6. Thanks to Variable Valve Timing (VVT), Engine Stop/Start (ESS) technology, and an 8-speed automatic transmission, it is able to produce 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. It also gets approximately 12.4 L/100 km (19 mpg) in the city and 9 L/100 km (26 mpg) on the highway. As for towing, it can pull between 2,812 and 3,946 kg (6,200 and 8,700 lbs).
Â
On the other hand, the Palisade is fitted with a 3.8-litre V6. Though also paired with an 8-speed automatic, it delivers only 291 hp; and it can haul a mere 2,267 kg (5,000 lbs), greatly reducing trailering options for drivers. Cargo will be compromised and frustration will be felt.Â
