The SUV is the vehicle of choice for thousands of commuters, adventure seekers, parents, and drivers around Arizona. They’re powerful and have the space to fit the whole family—perfect for any demographic and more! If it’s time for you to purchase an SUV and you’re considering the options, let us help you with the decision. Presenting the 2017 Dodge Durango versus the 2017 Toyota Highlander in the Battle of the SUVs!
· Price. One of the biggest factors in selecting a vehicle is the price. The 2017 Dodge Durango comes in starting at $29,995 MSRP, while the Highlander sits at around $30,630. This leftover money means you have more time to spend on the things that matter to you, like your children, home, travel, and more.
· Miles Per Gallon. The Highlander gets reasonable efficiency, reaching 20 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. However, the Durango shows its eco-friendly side with its stellar fuel efficiency rating; it reaches 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 miles per gallon on the highway. This means you’ll be saving more money and time by avoiding frequent visits to the gas station!
· Power. The Durango is a notably powerful pick, getting up to 293 horsepower at 6,400 rotations per minute. The Highlander lags behind at 185 horsepower at 5,800 rotations per minute. This additional power means you can reach your destination more quickly and purposefully.
· Engine. The Durango’s 3.6L V-6 engine is one of the most appealing traits about it! It can handle any challenge that comes its way. The same can’t necessarily be said of the Highlander’s 2.7L I-4 engine.
· Cargo Space. The Durango just outreaches the Highlander when it comes to cargo space. It has 84.5 cubic feet, while the Highlander has 83.7. It may only be about a foot of more space, but any adventurer or parent knows that can make a huge difference.
