There’s a potent new way to drive that’s bringing unmistakable attitude and performance to streets across the country.
The all-new Dodge Hornet, Dodge brand’s entrance to the compact utility vehicle segment, provides a blend of power, style and handling that easily set it apart.
Already on the block is the 2023 Hornet GT, generating a buzz of excitement with 268 hp and features such as Sport Mode to unlock exceptional driving potential – and there’s more to follow.
The 2024 Hornet R/T, the straight-up most powerful vehicle among compact utilities,1 will be arriving this summer as a plug-in hybrid and Dodge’s first performance electric vehicle.
R/T offers drivers a mighty 288 hp, a manufacturer’s estimated 30 miles of all-electric driving,2 before seamlessly switching to gas, and seven available performance features including PowerShot, which delivers an additional 30 hp to help take things to the next level.
Signs of Dodge performance can be seen all around these new vehicles with design cues encompassing hood-integrated heat extractors, on the GT, and a distinctive “mail slot” grille opening and vehicle-width taillamp on both models.
On the inside, a driver-focused cabin feel is created through elements like available sports-style Alcantara® seats, steering column-mounted paddle shifters (exclusive on the R/T), and angled center stack controls and display screens.
When it comes to creature comforts, the Hornet has those covered, too, thanks to the Uconnect® 5 system, content and home screens that can be personalized and provide access to vehicle settings, the Amazon Alexa virtual assistant, plus an available Harman-Kardon® premium sound system.
Another key part of the new Hornet offering is the opportunity for performance enthusiasts to boost their vehicle’s capabilities further with Direct Connection factory-backed performance parts available through Dodge Power Brokers dealers.
