2009 Durango HEMI® Hybrid

 

HEMI Hybrid Technology

  • Cutting Edge. Standard.

    Finally, a full-size SUV loaded with fuel-saving[1] hybrid technology and all the power and performance you expect from Dodge. Setting the standard in versatility, utility and fuel economy[1], the 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI® Hybrid changes everything, while compromising nothing.

    Want to be first to launch your boat on Saturday morning? Done. Durango HEMI® Hybrid, with its burly 5.7-liter HEMI®, tows 6,000 lbs. without breaking a sweat. Want to enjoy a nearly 40-percent fuel reduction[1] while running errands in the city? Done. This patented system dramatically improves fuel economy[1] around town and on the highway.

    The 2009 Durango HEMI® Hybrid integrates an automatic transmission with a hybrid-electric drive system. In the first mode, the engine is shut off, while one of the two electric motors provides the acceleration without using a drop of fuel. In the second mode, the electric motors "tag team" with the HEMI® V8 for highway speeds, passing, pulling a trailer, and steep grades. This synchronous action delivers fuel-efficient[1] performance while shifts between the two modes are seamless.

    Thanks to the Multi-Displacement System (MDS), the Durango HEMI® Hybrid leapfrogs traditional hybrids. MDS transforms the powerful 5.7-liter V8 into a gas-sipping 4-cylinder by deactivating half of the cylinders during cruising and light acceleration. The payoff is an increased overall fuel economy[1] of up to 25-percent.
