FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHEVROLET REVEALS 2021 EQUINOX AT THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW 

CHICAGO (Feb. 6, 2020) – Dodge gave the Durango SRT a new look with two new custom appearance options from the factory - The Black and Redline Stripe packages - adding a more aggressive look to the three-row SUV. Both are on display at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show, Feb. 8-17, at McCormick Place.

Tim Kuniskis, global head of Alfa Romeo and head of passenger cars - Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA - North America, stated "The numbers tell the story. As Dodge performance enthusiasts move through the Durango lineup to the fastest, most powerful and most capable American three-row SUV, they want their vehicle to stand out in a crowd." Kuniskis added "Last year, 25 percent of Durango SXT buyers chose the Blacktop Package. That jumped to more than 60 percent on the Durango R/T. Now, this new SRT-exclusive Black package gives SRT buyers an even more exclusive look and they can order it when they order their vehicle at the dealership."

The Dodge Durango SRT Black appearance package features Midnight Grey Metallic and Gloss Black exterior accents throughout the exterior, including:

• Midnight Grey Metallic "SRT" grille badge

Also exclusively available on the Durango SRT is the new Redline stripe - a full-length Satin Black center stripe with Redline Red accent tracers on each edge.
