2014 Dodge Durango Will Likely Have UConnect

2014-dodge-durango-625x1000

There are plenty of new reveals just around the corner with the New York Auto Show. Mopar and Jeep have come together to put out six new Jeep concepts that’ll be on display at the event. Dodge is also teasing auto-enthusiasts prior to the happening with the new 2014 Durango. All that’s been shown so far is the tease of a taillight design, but that hasn’t stopped anyone from speculating on what to expect.

Digital Trends believes they know a multitude of features that the 2014 Dodge Durango will have. It should have a load of new tech that Chrysler has been pushing for. The conclusion is drawn from the press release that Dodge put out in which they say, “Built on the Dodge brand’s pillars of style, performance, and innovation, the new 2014 Dodge Durango will deliver state-of-the-art-technology in both form and function.”

Not exactly a tough conclusion to come up with from the fact that the mission statement from Dodge is about being ahead of the pack in auto technology. The Durango incorporating the popular Uconnect system seems like a given with how positive the feedback from critics and drivers has been. A real question to wonder about is if Durango will be having a brand new piece of tech to go with it. Until the New York Auto Show, it’s all just guessing.

Dodge Grand Caravan Gets New Blu-Ray Player for the Holidays

It’s that time of year to head over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house for the holidays. With a backseat full of antsy kids, though, parents can go a little crazy trying to keep family harmony on road trips.

Fortunately, the Dodge Grand Caravan now has an optional Blu-ray player available with plug-in for video game systems. With the new system, the second and third row seats can enjoy a movie or game on a high-resolution screen. Best of all, if there is disagreement between Spongebob Squarepants and Star Wars, the second row can watch one movie on their screen and the third row can watch a different movie on their screen.

I think this is a great idea on Dodge’s part especially that the system can play two different movies at once. Sometimes there is a vast age difference between siblings, and it is tough to find movies that toddlers and teenagers alike will enjoy. With Dodge’s new system, parents don’t have to worry that a movie might be too scary for the little ones or bore the teenagers. Everybody can get what they want.

Readers, we want to hear from you! Do you want the new Blu-ray entertainment center in your next Dodge Grand Caravan? What do you think of the plug-in for video games? Leave a comment below, and let us know what you think!

Dodge’s Juiced-Up Charger to Appear at SEMA Show

The 2012 SEMA show is next week in Las Vegas, and Dodge will be bringing a souped up version of their old favorite the Charger to the show.

On the outside, the Charger Juiced will have a body-color split cross hair grille with Mopar grille badge, matte black hood graphics and decklid graphics, and Mopar’s exclusive 20-inch lightweight wheels. On the inside, the Charger Juiced will have a 650-horsepower Viper V10 engine, and the driver will get a luxurious interior with black leather seats, a matte black aluminum instrument panel, Mopar’s pistol-grip shifter, and carpet floor mats.

Dodge has already released some pictures of the Charger Juiced, and at first glance, it is definitely not a car that will blend into a crowd. The Metallic Copperhead paint job is classy while also being very cool and distinctive. Fans of the Charger will likely drool over the Juiced and get some ideas for modifications and add-ons to their own Charger. Luckily at the SEMA show, they are in the perfect place to pick up some of those add-ons and upgrades.
