Expert reviews: 

The 2021 Dodge Durango's #6 ranking is based on its score within the Midsize SUVs category. Currently the Dodge Durango has a score of 8.0 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 58 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Ludicrous optional V8 engines
Ample seating space
Outstanding towing capability
Straightforward infotainment system

Cons
Mixed crash test results
Dull handling

By:

Dodge has freshened the Durango's look for 2021 with new headlamps, an updated grille, a revised rear spoiler, and a tweaked front bumper, but changes are more noticeable inside. Changes to the dashboard create a more driver-oriented layout, with the infotainment display and lower controls angled slightly to the left.

Pros
Oozes machismo,
unbeatable towing capacity,
quick acceleration with the V-8.

Cons
Not particularly fuel efficient,
driver-assistance features aren't standard,
the third row of seats cost extra.

SRT Hellcat with supercharged 6.2-liter V8 added to lineup.Refreshed, more aggressive exterior design.Refreshed interior with larger touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Pros
Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class
Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability
Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing
SRT Hellcat Durango provides a tire-shredding 710 horsepower

Cons
Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s
Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 crossover has some priorities out of order; it doles out fine handling while it delivers a skimpy back seat.

Pros
Looks good inside and out
Taut ride and handling
Available turbo power
Decent value in most trims

Cons
Turbo lag
Moderate acceleration in base version
Cramped back seat
Inferior infotainment

By: 
thecarconnection.com

For 2021, the most notable upgrade made to the CX-5 is its new infotainment system. A 10.3-inch touchscreen now sits atop the dashboard instead of the smaller 7.0-inch display found on previous model years. The updated system features the new Mazda Connect interface, Mazda Connected Services (a Wi-Fi hotspot and access to remote vehicle functions through a smartphone app), and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Pros
Luxury aura without the luxury price,
engaging driving behavior,
expeditious turbo engine.

Cons
Base engine accelerates leisurely,
competitors have more cargo space,
tows only 2000 pounds.

New infotainment system with a larger screen.Remote monitoring and control through a smartphone app.Top Signature trim gains some new safety features.

PROS

Attractive and upscale cabin for a premium ownership experience
Optional turbocharged engine provides plenty of power
Quiet at highway speeds

CONS
Base engine's lackluster acceleration
Ride is a little firm for the class
Less rear legroom and cargo room than most competitors
