4 Standout Traits of the 2025 Dodge Hornet

Thrilling Power

The Hornet delivers an exhilarating rush every time you tease the throttle with either of its two high-output powertrains. The Hornet GT is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger that cranks out up to 268 horsepower with nearly 300 pound-feet of torque, allowing the GT to blaze to 60 in just 6 seconds.

To unlock the Hornet’s full potential, step up to the R/T’s potent plug-in hybrid powertrain. Pairing a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine with a 90-kW electric motor and 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, it unleashes 288 HP and nearly 400 pound-feet of torque, enabling a blistering 0-60 time of only 5 seconds!

Razor-Sharp Handling

Beyond raw power, the Hornet delivers a masterclass in control, thanks to a suite of standard and available precision-enhancing high-performance features. Near-perfect weight distribution ensures it remains balanced and stable at all times, while standard AWD sends power to all four wheels to maximize traction. Dynamic Torque Vectoring technology enhances cornering precision by actively directing more power to the wheels that need it the most, while the adaptive Marelli high-performance suspension stiffens the chassis around corners to minimize body roll.

Meanwhile, Brembo brakes provide robust stopping power and fade-resistant performance, allowing you to control your speed with confidence and precision. The result? An SUV with unbelievable cornering proficiency, dancing through winding roads and tracks with the finesse and poise of a rally car, making for some truly memorable driving. Yet, during relaxed cruises, the Hornet transforms into a supremely luxurious ride, thanks to KONI shocks that smooth out road imperfections effortlessly.

Advanced Safety and Assist Technologies

To enhance your confidence and peace of mind when handling this high-performance machine, it is equipped with a suite of cutting-edge technologies that proactively look out for your safety and driving comfort. They can include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop, a 360-degree camera system, Blind Spot Monitoring with Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Active Driving Assistance, and more!

Upscale Cabin

To balance its aggressive edge, the Hornet comes with an elegantly furnished cabin that delivers refined comfort. It can offer niceties such as a panoramic sunroof, premium leather upholstery, heated and cooled seats, a heated steering wheel, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, wireless charging, and more!
