Performance at Your Fingertips
The ignition control is positioned prominently on the accent-painted finish console.

Premium Interior Touches
The class exclusive Alcantara seats come embroidered with the Dodge Rhombi logo on the Track Pack option.

Unique Badging
A unique new exterior Hornet badge on the fender celebrates the revival of the Hornet. The rear R/T badge features a unique easter egg in relief that teases the model's electrified nature. An additional exterior feature is an external panel sunroof that gives the Hornet a fun, open-air feel.

What engine comes in the Dodge Hornet GT?
Dodge's electrified transformation has leaped off the starting line, with the all-new Dodge Hornet R/T representing Dodge's first electrified performance vehicle. In addition, the Hornet R/T is Dodge's first plug-in hybrid. The R/T is powered by a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor that work together to produce 285 horsepower. The Hornet R/T PHEV holds extra "sting" in reserve, ready to be unleashed through a class exclusive PowerShot feature that boosts 25 extra horsepower and delivers instant torque. Dodge has paired this powertrain with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The Hornet GT is propelled by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that pumps out 265 horsepower and comes paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is optional. This powerplant will motivate the Hornet to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
How long does it take to charge the Dodge Hornet?
The Hornet R/T offers more than 30 miles of all-electric range. An electric induction motor powers the rear axle. Power is further optimized by a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that comes with a refrigerant cooling circuit to keep the battery at its optimum temperature. In addition, the high-power inverter and 7.4-kW charging module allow for the Hornet R/T to go from an empty battery to fully charged in just 2.5 hours using a Level 2 charger.
Which performance features are standard on the Dodge Hornet?
Whether you choose the Hornet GT or the Hornet R/T, they both come with a swarm of class-exclusive and best-in-class performance features that optimize driving dynamics, such as suspension, braking, steering, and handling performance. The class-exclusive Koni frequency selective damping shocks improve handling and ride comfort and are standard on the R/T and GT models. The Hornet is the only vehicle in its class to offer Brembo four-piston front fixed calipers. The class-exclusive dual-stage-valve suspension provides driver-selectable suspension damping and can be customized while behind the wheel. Drivers gain this suspension by adding the available Track Pack.
