The Dodge Durango Refuses to Die
tacked on another 1,000 units
for customers. That sentiment snowballed, and now, five years later, Dodge is still making Durango Hellcats for 2026, with no signs of stopping.
We don't blame them. Despite first appearing in 2010, the third-generation Durango is still a sales leader for Dodge, with nearly 60,000 units sold in 2024. It's on pace to beat that number in 2025, with 34,399 examples sold through the first half of the year.

The Durango Hellcat, then, is the crown jewel of Dodge's current lineup. The company doesn't mess with a good thing for 2026, retaining the super-SUV's sporty, muscular looks and supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 engine. As before, it's rated at 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, sending power to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic.
A revamped Jailbreak trim—inspired by the Jailbreak program seen on the Challenger SRT Demon 170—will allow buyers to choose "nearly any color imaginable" for their 2026 Durango Hellcat. Buyers can also choose between six wheel options, six exterior badge color choices, five racing stripe designs, and five interior colors. You can also option five-, six-, or seven-seat configurations, an Alcantara steering wheel, black exhaust tips, a suede headliner, a sunroof, and a black hood.
The sheer number of choices means there are over six million unique combinations available, according to the brand. So if you're adventurous with your order, you'll likely have a one-of-one specification—especially if you go for a custom color.
Dodge has yet to release pricing for the 2026 Durango SRT Hellcat, but says order books will open on August 11, with deliveries set to begin in Q4 of 2025.

Android Auto may soon let you spend less time scrolling, more time driving (APK teardown)
Andy Walker / Android Authority TL;DR Your in-car Android Auto screen could soon display more app columns, making app discovery easier and faster. We were able to surface up to seven app columns in a layout that previously supported a maximum of five columns. The number of app columns you see on your Android Auto screen will depend on the size of your in-car display. Android Auto's app drawer can sometimes seem a bit cramped. Depending on your car's display size, you'll typically see four or five app columns in the app drawer. That means if you've got lots of Android Auto apps installed, finding a specific app would often involve scrolling through multiple pages, which is not ideal when you're trying to focus on the road. It's just natural that the more apps that are displayed at a glance on the screen, the less time you have to spend scrolling to find an app. Looks like Google knows this all too well and is working on a change that will help reduce the hunt for apps on your car screen. While digging around in the Android Auto app (version 15.0.653204-release), we discovered that Google could soon expand the number of apps you can see at a glance. Current Android Auto app drawer Current Android Auto app drawer With a bit of tinkering, we were able to display an updated grid layout that can display up to seven app columns instead of five, which is the maximum number of app columns that can be viewed on an Android Auto screen right now. Expanded Android Auto app drawer Expanded Android Auto app drawer While the number of columns you see on your Android Auto screen will depend on the size of your in-car display, we were able to surface up to seven columns with quick controls (music and call shortcuts) enabled. So previously, if your Android Auto head unit displayed five columns, it may soon be able to show six or seven columns instead. The expanded grid seems to work across different Android Auto layout types, though quick controls aren't available everywhere. In one of our tests, a layout that maxed out at five columns without the changes enabled jumped to seven after the hidden settings were turned on. While there's no word on when or if Google will officially release the expanded Android Auto app grid, the change could make browsing the app drawer faster and less distracting for drivers, especially on larger in-car displays. ⚠️ An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. Follow
