Powerful Engine
The compact Hornet comes with an engine designed for a much larger vehicle, giving it its signature swiftness and robust performance. Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that generates an astounding 268 HP and 295 pound-feet of torque. This powerhouse propels the Hornet from 0 to 60 in just 6 seconds and offers a remarkable towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds.
There's also a plug-in hybrid powertrain for those seeking eco-friendly efficiency and power. This advanced setup combines a turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four engine with a 15.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, unleashing up to 288 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque, allowing the Hornet a 0 to 60 time of only 5 seconds. Moreover, with its 32-mile all-electric range, you'll be running errands without using a drop of gas, and when you do, one tank will take you up to 360 miles!
Powerful Performance
Dodge vehicles are renowned for outperforming the competition, and the Hornet is no exception. For starters, every Hornet comes standard with all-wheel drive, providing unmatched traction, stability, and control for a more dynamic and exhilarating driving experience. The speed-sensing rack-and-pinion steering system offers exceptional precision and responsiveness, while the smooth shifts of the 9-speed automatic transmission are incredibly satisfying.
The Hornet's rewarding nature doesn't stop there. A brake-actuated limited-slip differential, along with front and rear anti-roll bars, allows the Hornet to weave through corners with remarkable accuracy and confidence. The stopping power is exceptional thanks to available Brembo performance brakes. The MacPherson strut suspension system, featuring coil springs, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, and optional adjustable suspension dampers, ensures a ride quality that rivals that of a VIP-class vehicle.
Spacious and Comfortable Interior
With nearly 100 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Hornet comfortably accommodates five adults, making it an excellent choice for small families. It also offers ample cargo space, providing 27 cubic feet behind the rear seats and expanding to a generous 52 cubic feet when the 60/40 split folding rear bench seat is flattened out.
The Hornet's cabin rivals that of a luxury vehicle, especially in higher trims that boast upmarket amenities such as premium leather upholstery, a sunroof, heated and ventilated power-adjustable seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, built-in navigation, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system.
