Dodge Durango Hemi Hybrid
The beauty of Durango is its ability to be many things to all people. The 2009 Durango HEMI® Hybrid takes that a step further with its two-mode system
that integrates a hybrid-electric drive — which reduces fuel consumption by almost 54 percent[1] while running errands in town — with the brute power of
a 5.7L HEMI® V8 for towing and highway driving...The seamless shifting between these two transmission modes delivers fuel-efficient performance and
makes Durango HEMI® Hybrid just plain fun to drive.[dodge.com]
