The Durango comes in ten trims, ranging from the wallet-friendly GT model to the pricier SRT Hellcat varieties. The Telluride comes in ten trim levels, from the budget-conscious LX to the fully-equipped SX Prestige X-Pro. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer without too many upgrades, so let’s look at the standard features of the 2025 Dodge Durango GT vs. the 2025 Kia Telluride EX.
The Durango has a capable 3.6L V6 engine, delivering 295 horsepower and a towing capacity of 6,200 lbs. An 8-speed automatic transmission makes for a great driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 18 MPG city / 25 MPG highway, the Durango strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The Telluride has a 3.8L V6 engine under the hood for 291 horsepower and a towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs. Featuring an 8-speed automatic transmission and an estimated 20 MPG city / 26 MPG highway, the Telluride is also a sensible option.
In short, both the Durango and Telluride are very good performers in most environments.
The Dodge Durango has an impressive array of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include brake assist, electronic stability control with anti-rollover, blind spot warning, rear parking sensors, and more.
The Kia Telluride holds its own when considering safety. The Telluride packs a driver assist package that includes blind spot and forward collision warnings, collision avoidance systems, lane keeping assist, and more.
If you prefer a welcoming interior with thoughtful features, you’ll probably like the Durango. Step inside to discover automatic dual-zone air conditioning, heated front seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, and 141 cubic feet of passenger volume. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, voice-activated controls, wireless phone connectivity, satellite radio, and everything you need to feel at home behind the wheel.
We have no major complaints about the Telluride’s interior. With power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone auto climate control, and a total interior volume of 178.1 cubic feet, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 6-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM® satellite radio and more make for a nice enough infotainment setup.
Dodge is highly regarded for American muscle. The 2025 Durango upholds the reputation. The 2025 Kia Telluride is also a great choice. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Dodge Durango takes the win.
