The Most Expensive Dodge Durango Hellcat Approaches Luxury SUV Territory, Topping $118,000 Fully Optioned

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak already stands out as a unique three-row performance SUV with its 710-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.¹ However, when pushed to the limit with every available factory option and common dealer accessory, the final cost of a fully maxed-out build can reach an insane transaction price near $118,815.² This extreme customization effort transforms the muscle-infused people mover into a contender that edges into the luxury-performance SUV territory, a space typically dominated by European rivals, proving that the HEMI V8 still delivers unparalleled power alongside genuine seven-seat practicality.
