The 2025 Dodge Hornet is engineered for drivers who live for sharp performance yet still need the convenience of an SUV. Its aggressive styling, turbocharged engines, and high-performance chassis make it fun to live with, while its refined, feature-rich interior and generous cargo space ensure it handles daily demands effortlessly.
High-Octane Engines
The Hornet serves its thrills via two high-strung powertrains. The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four pumps out 268 HP with nearly 300 lb-ft of torque! This muscle catapults the Hornet GT to 60 in only 6 seconds while enabling a top speed of 140 mph, making the GT the fastest CUV on the market. It also provides a handy 2,000-pound towing capacity for enhanced utility.
Those craving even more power should step up to the Hornet R/T’s potent plug-in hybrid powerplant, which consists of a 1.3-liter turbo engine, a 90-kW electric motor, and a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. Producing 288 HP and nearly 400 pound-feet of torque, it rockets the R/T to 60 in just 5 seconds, making it the quickest CUV in the game. It also gives you a 32-mile all-electric driving range, so you don’t have to use gas for errands or short commutes.
Track-Inspired Handling
From its track-tuned platform to its cocktail of available high-performance features, every aspect of the Hornet’s chassis is tuned for agility, letting you enjoy a level of handling typically reserved for performance coupes. With near-perfect weight distribution, the Dodge Hornet doesn’t falter during aggressive maneuvers, maintaining its balance like a champion gymnast. Meanwhile, standard all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction on all four corners, enhancing the Hornet’s control and confidence around turns and on slippery surfaces.
At the same time, the Dynamic Torque Vectoring system intelligently optimizes power distribution between the wheels continuously, sending more torque to the wheel with the most grip to help the Hornet rotate through corners more precisely, while the Marelli dual-stage valve suspension stiffens the chassis around turns to minimize body roll, thus enhancing cornering control. And with KONI shocks providing firmer damping during spirited drives and Brembo brakes delivering robust braking performance, the Hornet is pure surgical precision in motion.
Spacious and Upscale Interior
The Dodge Hornet is also an incredibly comfortable and practical ride, thanks to its elegantly crafted, well-appointed, and spacious cabin. It seats five adults comfortably and provides ample room for their cargo. Meanwhile, a bevy of top-shelf amenities delivers a premium experience. They can include heated and cooled seats, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless charging, an infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and more!
