2017 Dodge Durango

How Many Seats Does a Dodge Durango Have?

On the 2026 and 2027 lineup, five or seven, depending on the trim. Dodge Canada describes the Durango as offering three-row seating for up to seven passengers, but the base SXT comes with five-passenger seating and the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak is listed with a seating capacity of five (Dodge Canada). Every other trim seats seven.

Dodge Canada lists six 2026 Durango models and eight for 2027. The two extra 2027 trims are the R/T 392 Plus and R/T 392 Premium, and both seat seven. The tables below show the seat count and horsepower Dodge Canada gives for each trim.

2027 Dodge Durango Seating by Trim

Seating capacity and horsepower as listed by Dodge Canada for 2026 and 2027 models, October 2026.

On the 2027 lineup, the two most powerful Durangos split on seating: the R/T 392 trims seat seven, and the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak seats five. Our Durango R/T vs SRT Hellcat comparison puts the pair side by side. For the rest of the range, the 2026 Dodge Durango buyer's guide for Alberta goes through the trims in more detail.

Does Every Durango Have a Third Row?

No. The SXT is a five-seat, two-row Durango. On both the 2026 and 2027 models it comes with five-passenger seating and a second-row 60/40 folding bench (Dodge Canada), and that bench is the back row.

The seven-seat trims add a third row. Dodge Canada lists the GT with 7-passenger seating and a third-row 50/50 split-folding bench, so each half of the back row folds on its own (Dodge Canada).

The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak is the other five-seat Durango, listed with a seating capacity of five for 2026 and 2027. If you need seven seats, look for a GT, GT HEMI or 2027 R/T 392 badge when you browse new Dodge Durangos. If you're also considering a Jeep, our Grand Cherokee vs Durango article compares the two.

How to Tell How Many Seats a Used Durango Has

Count the seatbelts. Open a rear door, count the belts across the second row, then check behind it for a third row with belts of its own. It's quick, and it doesn't rely on what the listing says.

A flat load floor doesn't prove there's no third row, since a folded third row can sit flush with the floor. Look for buckles and headrests in the cargo area, or try raising the seatbacks.

The trim badge helps, up to a point. On current models the GT wears a GT tailgate badge and seats seven, while the SXT seats five. An older Durango may not follow the same pattern as the 2026 and 2027 tables above, so treat the badge as a starting point. The original window sticker or build sheet is better evidence if the seller has one, because it shows how that vehicle was equipped when it was built.

Shopping from photos? Count the belts in the pictures and ask for a shot behind the second row if the listing doesn't include one. If you're looking at a used Durango and the seating isn't clear, send us a message and ask before you visit.

Cargo Space and the 50+ Seating Configurations

Dodge Canada says the Durango's three rows of seating can be arranged in over 50 configurations, with 60/40 split-folding second-row seats and third-row bench seats that fold completely flat. Folded down, they open up to 85.1 cu ft of cargo space (Dodge Canada).

That count describes the three-row Durango. A five-seat SXT has its 60/40 second-row bench to work with and no third row, so it has fewer combinations. The split still lets you run a long load through one side and keep a passenger on the other.

The 85.1 cu ft figure is Dodge's maximum, with the seats folded. If you plan to fill all seven seats and still carry luggage, measure the space behind the third row on the vehicle you're considering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Dodge Durango a 7-seater?

Yes, in most trims. Dodge Canada lists seven-passenger seating on the GT, GT Plus, GT HEMI Plus and GT HEMI Premium, and on the 2027 R/T 392 Plus and Premium. The base SXT seats five, and the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak is listed with five (Dodge Canada). If you need seven seats, confirm the trim before you think about colour or options.

Is there an 8-seat Dodge Durango?

Not on the current lineup. Dodge Canada describes the Durango as seating up to seven passengers, and none of the 2026 or 2027 trims it lists seats more than seven (Dodge Canada). Older Durangos can be set up differently, so if a used listing says eight seats, count the seatbelts in the photos and ask the seller to confirm before you book a viewing.

How many seats does the Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak have?

Five. Dodge Canada lists the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak with a seating capacity of five on both the 2026 and 2027 models, along with 710 hp from its 6.2L SRT Hellcat engine (Dodge Canada). For seven seats and more power than the V6, look at the GT HEMI trims at 360 hp or the 2027 R/T 392 trims at 475 hp.
