Performance that Commands Attention: The Dodge Hornet GT boasts a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder Hurricane4 engine, making it the segment's most powerful gas engine at 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. It's not just about raw power; it's about the thrill of the ride. Activate Sport Mode, and you'll feel the sharper throttle response, optimized upshifts, tighter steering, and an electronic limited-slip differential working together seamlessly to propel you from 0 to 60 in a mere 6.5 seconds. This car doesn't just move; it roars.
Electrifying Innovation: For the environmentally conscious speed enthusiast, the Dodge Hornet R/T, the first-ever electrified performance vehicle from Dodge, takes the lead.

The 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery provides more than 30 miles of all-electric range, giving you the flexibility to go green without compromising performance. The on-demand PowerShot feature on the Hornet R/T shaves an impressive 1.5 seconds off the 0 to 60 mph time, clocking in at just 5.6 seconds. Electrification has never been this exhilarating.
Muscular Design, Driver-Centric Interior: The Dodge Hornet unleashes the iconic Dodge DNA on a new segment, featuring integrated heat extractors on the hood, a 'mail slot'-style grille opening, and a vehicle-width taillamp with a center illuminated Dodge Rhombi logo—a first for a Dodge vehicle. Inside, the driver-centric cockpit welcomes you with controls, display screens, and HVAC vents angled toward the driver. It's not just a car; it's an extension of you.
