2026 Dodge Stealth: A New Kind of Bold for the Modern SUV

January 13th, 2025 by

The 2026 Dodge Stealth is a big deal for the Dodge brand as we reinvent ourselves in the SUV space. It’s the successor to the Durango and brings modern ruggedness, performance, and technology to the table. This new player is going to change the game for Dodge in a crowded market.

Dodge SUV Lineup

For years the Dodge Durango was a do-it-all SUV with performance and space. But the market changed and the competition got fierce. The Dodge Stealth is the answer, a new design philosophy and a commitment to innovation. Production has moved to the Brampton Assembly Plant in Canada, a big investment in quality and efficiency.

Exterior: Ruggedly Beautiful

The 2026 Dodge Stealth exterior balances are rugged with modern. Muscular wheel arches and a big front fascia give it a bold stance. The sleek LED headlights and taillights blend with the aerodynamic body lines for a modern aggressive look.

One of the big features is the new grille which has the crosshair in a new way. 20-inch alloy wheels and a range of exterior colors to choose from means you can customize the Stealth to your liking. It’s an urban and off-road vehicle after all.

Interior Innovation and Comfort

Inside the Dodge Stealth is impressive with a well-thought-out cabin that’s focused on comfort and technology. Premium materials like leather and soft-touch surfaces make the interior feel luxurious. Seating for up to 7 passengers and a second and third row that’s configurable for cargo means you have plenty of options.

The focal point of the cabin is the Uconnect 5 infotainment system on a 12-inch touchscreen. It has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, and over-the-air updates. Add to that a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, ambient lighting, and multi-zone climate control and you’ve got a great driving experience.

Performance and Capability

The 2026 Dodge Stealth is powered by a range of engines to suit your performance needs. A standard 3.6L V6 gives you power and efficiency with 295 horsepower. For more performance, the 5.7L HEMI V8 gives you 360 horsepower and all the acceleration and towing you need.

Both engines have an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifts and good fuel efficiency. All-wheel drive is available across the lineup so the Stealth can handle any terrain. Adaptive suspension further refines the handling and gives you a smooth ride in any condition.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a big part of the 2026 Dodge Stealth’s appeal. The SUV has a range of driver assistance technologies to give you more confidence on the road. Standard features are adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and auto emergency braking.

A Level 2 autonomous driving system is available to take safety and convenience to the next level. It allows for hands-free operation in certain situations and shows Dodge’s commitment to technology. A surround-view camera system and parking sensors make parking in tight spots a breeze.

Sustainability and Efficiency

The Dodge Stealth has the traditional performance DNA but also acknowledges the shift to sustainability. Dodge will introduce a plug-in hybrid variant with better fuel economy and reduced emissions without sacrificing capability. It’s part of Dodge’s plan to electrify the lineup without losing its performance heritage.

Market Positioning and Competitors

The 2026 Dodge Stealth will sit in a space of its own in the midsize SUV segment. With performance-engineered and luxury-inspired features it will appeal to a broad range of customers from families to enthusiasts. Competitors are the Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Chevrolet Traverse each with their own unique attributes.

But the Stealth is different through its design, technology, and performance versatility. This combination makes the Stealth a great option for those who want the best of both worlds.

Production and Availability

Production has started at the Brampton Assembly Plant and the 2026 Dodge Stealth is another example of Dodge’s North American manufacturing. This plant is known for its high-quality standards so the Stealth will meet the demands of today’s SUV buyers. The first deliveries will be in early 2026 and will be available in multiple trims.
