~$50,000
Engine: 1.3L turbocharged I4 + electric motor
Torque: 519 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~5.6 s
The 2023+ Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV is the quickest and most powerful compact crossover ever produced by Dodge. Combining a 1.3L turbocharged gasoline engine with a rear-mounted electric motor, it delivers a total system output of 288 horsepower and 519 Nm of torque, enabling a 0–100 km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds—a figure that outpaces many compact performance sedans and crossovers. The eAWD system provides immediate torque to the rear wheels, especially under launch conditions or in the unique “PowerShot” mode, which temporarily adds 30 hp for short bursts.
The Hornet GT (non-hybrid) also offers impressive performance with a 2.0L turbocharged I4 delivering 268 hp and 400 Nm, achieving 0–100 km/h in around 6.5 seconds—faster than most competitors in the standard segment. The GT uses a 9-speed automatic, while the R/T PHEV employs a 6-speed automatic paired with regenerative braking and EV-only operation for short trips (up to 30 miles / ~48 km electric range).
Tight handling, firm suspension tuning, Brembo front brakes (standard on R/T), and available Koni frequency-selective dampers make the Hornet one of the sharpest-driving compact SUVs, with steering feel and cornering poise borrowed from its Alfa Romeo Tonale twin—but infused with Dodge attitude.
Body Styles
The Dodge Hornet is a five-door compact crossover SUV with athletic proportions and aggressive styling cues. It features a wide “mail-slot” grille, heat extractors on the hood (functional in R/T), slim LED headlights, and a fastback-style rear with full-width racetrack LED taillamps. Pronounced fender flares, dual exhaust outlets, and gloss-black trim give it a sporty, urban-aggressive look. The R/T variant adds PHEV badging, red brake calipers, unique rear diffuser, and charge port access on the driver-side rear fender.
While it shares its platform with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, the Hornet distinguishes itself with a more muscular design language consistent with Dodge's performance-focused DNA.
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“Hornet” revives a historic nameplate first used in the 1950s by Hudson and then AMC. Dodge uses the name to evoke agility, aggression, and compact power, consistent with the hornet insect's reputation for speed and sting. It was chosen to introduce Dodge’s return to the compact car segment with a performance-first identity.
Model Name Meaning (Languages)
“Hornet” is an English word referring to a large, aggressive wasp, often associated with sudden attack, speed, and loud buzzing. As a model name, it evokes energy, menace, and a sense of stinging performance—fitting Dodge’s image and appealing to enthusiasts seeking bold branding in the compact SUV market.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The Hornet is offered in vibrant, aggressive colors including Hot Tamale, Acapulco Gold, Gray Cray, Blue Bayou, Q Ball White, and 8 Ball Black, as well as Blu Bayou and Blue Steele in R/T-exclusive trims. Blackout trim packages and gloss-black mirror caps emphasize the model's sportiness.
Inside, the Hornet features driver-focused cockpit design with high-mounted digital gauges, contrast stitching, and a central infotainment screen tilted slightly toward the driver. Upholstery ranges from sport cloth in GT to Alcantara and leather in GT Plus and R/T Plus. Red or yellow stitching, metal pedals, and optional track-inspired seats elevate the performance feel.
Wheel options include 17-inch silver alloys (GT), 18-inch graphite-painted wheels (GT Plus), and 19-inch Abyss or Abyss Dark options on Track Packs or R/T trims. The design features multi-spoke and razor-edged patterns with gloss black or machined finishes.
