Chrysler has been slowly releasing the full details about the 2011 Dodge Durango, and while we’ve already seen the exterior from many angles, the interior has only been revealed in teaser images… until now.

What you see here is the first shot of the all-new Durango’s interior, and if its Jeep Grand Cherokee sister is anything to base judgments on, things should be pretty cozy inside the full-size Dodge.

Unlike its Jeep kin, the Durango appears to use a center stack that’s completely housed within the dashboard, leaving room for a larger storage compartment in front of the gear shifter. We like the two-tone color combination (seen here on the Citadel trim level), and extra touches like upholder lighting and small amounts of aluminum and chrome accents make this cabin look more luxurious than before. We still need to get some butt-in-seat time before we can truly give it a thumbs-up, but so far, we definitely like what we see.
