This compact crossover SUV has truly sporty dynamics, but with generous interior dimensions, high-end luxuries, and innovative gadgets for a fun and exhilarating experience for the whole crew. Here’s the breakdown of its standout attributes.
Plush Cabin with Ample Room and Premium Perks
Step inside the Hornet, and you’re greeted by one of the most accommodating interiors in the segment at nearly 100 cubic feet for passengers and up to 55 cubic feet of space when you’re configured for cargo.
Available goodies elevate the vibe. Choose things like supple leather trim, seats that heat or cool you, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, a massive sunroof for open-air freedom, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon setup that turns every drive into a concert. It’s designed for comfort without skimping on space, so it’ll be your perfect companion for road trips or trips around town.
Electrifying Powertrains for Every Driver
The Hornet offers two potent hearts to choose from. In the GT trim, you get a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder that delivers 268 hp and close to 300 lb-ft of torque. Towing? No problem, as this standard engine offering can handle 2,000 pounds effortlessly, which means you’ll have some true real-world utility to go with all that sporty cred.
But, if you want more, you can upgrade to the R/T plug-in hybrid. Now you’ve got 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, making your ride the fastest in class at a scorching 5-second 0-60 time. You can even go fully electric, which means some of those trips around town can be taken without using any gas at all.
Precision Engineering for Razor-Edge Handling
What truly sets the Hornet apart as an SUV is its driving prowess. The AWD system uses dynamic torque vectoring and a brake-activated limited-slip differential to optimize grip and power delivery. Dodge has come up with a near-ideal weight balance and anti-roll bars that keep it planted, while the Marelli Dual-Stage Valve suspension with KONI shocks adapts well to different driving needs.
A 9-speed automatic transmission, complete with column paddles, ensures smooth shifts and engaging control. Top it off with Brembo brakes for supreme stopping power.
