Whether you favor the GT or the R/T powertrain, the 2025 Dodge Hornet is one of the best-performing CUVs in its class, built for power and performance.
Best of Both Worlds
Whether you’ve embraced electric vehicles, prefer the feel of a traditional gas engine, or favor a hybrid option, there is a Dodge Hornet for you. The R/T model is powered by a 1.4L T4 PHEV engine that can reach up to 288 horsepower and has a maximum engine torque of 383 lb-ft. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, making it a high-performance vehicle. The G/T’s unique PowerShot feature provides an extra boost of power (30 hp worth) when you need it most, for up to 15 seconds. You can choose to switch between three drive modes, depending on your circumstances.
Alternatively, the GT range is fitted with a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo engine with a 9-speed transmission and all-wheel drive as standard. This small but powerful engine provides up to 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of engine torque. Together, they help make the Dodge Hornet GT one of the fastest CUVs on the market, capable of reaching 140 mph.
Superior Handling and Stability
The Dodge Hornet benefits from several design improvements that make it a joy to drive. The near-perfect weight distribution of the R/T range, combined with its dynamic torque vectoring, makes it easier and safer than ever to stay close to the curve without compromising speed or performance. Meanwhile, frequency-damping suspension (fitted as standard on all Hornets) delivers greater control at higher speeds and a smoother ride over uneven terrain.
High-performance Brembo brakes are also available across all models in the Dodge Hornet range and can bring the vehicle to a complete stop from 62 mph in as little as 138 ft.
Drive Assist Technology
The Dodge Hornet has Active Driving Assist as an optional extra. This assisted driving system allows the car to automatically handle certain aspects of your drive, such as acceleration, braking, and lane positioning. The technology monitors car speed and location, as well as identifying surrounding traffic and other obstacles to achieve optimal driving speeds while maintaining a safe distance from other road users. It can be used in stop-and-go city traffic or on the highway.
Keeping You Safe
All Dodge vehicles come with an impressive range of safety features, and the Hornet is no different. Sensors located around the vehicle provide an audible warning if another car is in your blind spot, allowing for safer maneuvering when turning or changing lanes, while the front collision sensor lets you know if you’re getting too close to the vehicle in front. The ParkView rearview camera makes it easier to monitor the road behind, particularly when parking or reversing.
