Dodge is known for making vehicles that get your heart racing with thrilling drives. The Hornet continues this tradition and adds an element of electricity to make the fun last longer. With hybrid technology and Dodge quality, you’ll have a truly dynamic duo.
Among the four different trim levels of the Dodge Hornet, you’ll find two different powertrains available. Each one provides smooth acceleration that will stun passersby. Here’s how much power you’ll have at the ready:

Torque
|
---|---|---|
2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo | 268 HP | 295 lb-ft |
1.3L I-4 Plug-In Hybrid | 288 HP | 383 lb-ft |
The two engines have 9-speed and 6-speed automatic transmission systems, respectively. They also come standard with all-wheel drive for enhanced control in all sorts of road and weather conditions.
The standard combustion engine provides plenty of power while maintaining impressive efficiency. The Hurricane4 Turbo motor achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG, letting you experience lots of road on each tank.
The available hybrid motor lets you spend more time behind the wheel and less time at the pump. Thanks to the addition of electricity, hybrid-equipped Hornet models feature an EPA-estimated 77 MPGe. You’ll have plenty to look forward to on the open road thanks to this blend of great fuel economy and mighty power.
First impressions matter, and the Dodge Hornet is great at establishing itself. From stylish good looks to forward-thinking designs, there’s much to appreciate in the Hornet that will have heads turning whenever you drive by.
The base design of the Hornet sets the tone of aggression, which perfectly matches its muscular spirit. Aerodynamic curves combine with sleek edges for an imposing presence, and available add-ons like dual-exhaust tips and 20-inch rims add to the mystique. The bold black grille adds an aura of authority as well.
The vast range of color options helps you make the Hornet match your personal taste. Whether you’re looking for subtle or striking, you’ll find a paint job that speaks to you:
Along with looking good, the exterior of the Hornet plays its own role in your quality of life on the road. Thanks to the available hands-free power liftgate, you can simply kick your foot under the bumper to open it. Unloading your full arms into 27 cubic feet of max cargo volume is simple with just a tap of the foot.
Making your presence known will keep other drivers aware of you also. Standard LED headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights all combine to make you stand out in both day and night. The taillights also have a unique style that evokes the design of original Dodge models, making a seamless blend of old and new.
The Dodge Hornet is about more than raw strength. There’s plenty of intelligence at play as well. These state-of-the-art features let you sit back and fully enjoy the ride.
Staying connected wherever you go is easier thanks to the convenient Uconnect® infotainment system. It’s your gateway to all sorts of features, including those found in standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support. You can easily get to your messages, apps, and more while on the move.
The interface uses a 10.25-inch screen that allows you to customize it to suit your preferences. By setting up your home screen to your liking, you make your Hornet uniquely yours and streamlined as you want it to be.
Your passengers can find plenty of tech to enjoy as well. Thanks to the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, your riders can stay connected and keep up with email, stream entertainment, and more. Everyone will be satisfied by these features as you dominate the road.
Want to start the party in your cabin? The available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System turns your Hornet into a concert hall. It uses 14 speakers and a subwoofer to create a high-quality audio experience that brings your playlist to life.
You’ll want an SUV that features all-around greatness in its design. Having more to choose from to suit your needs and style means you can find a model made just for you. Experiencing a dynamic punch when you press the accelerator is a good perk, too. The Hornet outpaces the Tonale on both counts with more speed, more options, and more vibrant colors.
