Chrysler Announces Pricing For All-New 'Right Size' 1998 Dodge Durango Sport-Utility VehicleAUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 18 -- Chrysler Corporation today announced pricing for its all-new 1998 Dodge Durango sport- utility vehicle. The suggested retail price for a Durango 4x4 SLT with a 5.2-liter Magnum V-8 engine is $28,025, including destination. The Durango SLT with a 3.9-liter Magnum V-6 engine, to be introduced mid-year, is $27,435 including destination. "We are in an enviable position," said Ray Fisher, Dodge Division General Manager. "Compared with our truck-based compact SUV competitors, Durango is larger, more powerful, roomier, tows more, hauls more and is the only one with eight-passenger capability, yet is priced competitively with them." Durango enters the SUV market with a "right-size" package that combines the best attributes of the compact market -- nimble ride and handling, maneuverability and comfort -- with many features the compact market lacks, including better towing and hauling, greater cargo room and eight-passenger capability. The base Durango 4x4 SLT with the V-8 engine includes preferred equipment package 26D. Standard equipment includes a four-speed automatic transmission; dual air bags; air conditioning; power windows, locks and mirrors; roof rack; AM/FM cassette radio and cruise control. Optional features include a 245- horsepower 5.9-liter Magnum V-8 engine and the compact segment's only available third seat. SOURCE Chrysler Corporation
