The Dodge Hornet is a great choice if you want a compact crossover with the automaker’s trademark potent acceleration. The Hornet can accommodate your daily commuting needs or a weekend out of town with family or friends. Opt for a standard gas-powered model or a hybrid version of this Dodge SUV. With a strong selection of entertainment features and several trims that allow you to configure this crossover to your liking, there’s no shortage of reasons to put the Hornet at the top of your shopping list.
The Dodge Hornet offers impressive performance with two powertrain options. The gas-powered model features a turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 268 horsepower, paired with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission, achieving up to 29 mpg on the highway and towing up to 2,000 pounds. The plug-in hybrid Hornet R/T combines a 1.3L turbocharged engine with an electric motor for 258 horsepower, or 288 with the PowerShot feature, and delivers 32 miles of all-electric range. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, with a full battery recharge taking 2.5 hours on a level 2 charger.
Inside the Dodge Hornet’s cabin seats five comfortably, with 27 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats or 54 cubic feet with the second row folded down. The base trim features cloth and synthetic leather upholstery with manually adjustable front seats, while upgrades include leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, voice recognition, and a six-speaker stereo, complemented by a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Options include a 14-speaker premium stereo and navigation for added luxury and convenience.
The Dodge Hornet offers two gas-powered trims, GT and GT Plus, starting at just over $30,000 and $36,000, respectively, and two plug-in hybrid trims, R/T and R/T Plus, starting at $41,000 and $46,000.
