2025 Dodge Hornet

The Hornet’s distinct trims each add unique features to the SUV’s muscular stance. The GT model showcases aggressive lines and signature hood scoops, embodying the brand's performance heritage. Its gloss-black Hornet hive grille is flanked by auto-leveling LED headlamps, while Dodge Racetrack taillamps with the first-ever Dodge Rhombi logo bring up the rear. The GT Plus shows off a power sunroof and striking 18-inch Graphite Gray wheels with Brembo® 4-piston fixed-caliper brakes. In addition to standard practicalities like rain-sensing wipers and heated side mirrors, the GT Plus adds a hands-free power liftgate for your convenience. The R/T variant amps up this ferocious design with exclusive badging and design cues that highlight its hybrid capabilities and its title as the segment’s fastest CUV. Customize the Hornet with a selection of commanding wheels and appearance packages to make this beast your own.

Under its sculpted hood, the Hornet GT harbors a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo I4 engine, delivering 268 hp and 295 lbs.-ft. of torque, making the GT the fastest CUV in its class with a top track speed of 140 mph. The R/T model turns up the heat with its plug-in hybrid system, combining a 1.3L turbocharged engine with an electric motor. This system achieves a total output of 288 hp and 383 lbs.-ft. of torque. The R/T also offers an EPA-estimated 32 miles of all-electric range, providing efficiency alongside performance.

Performance is a hallmark of the Hornet lineup. The GT model reaches a top speed of 140 mph, making it the fastest in its class. Then you have the R/T. Not only is it the most powerful CUV in its class, but it reaches 60 from a standstill in just 5.6 seconds, thanks to the Segment-Exclusive PowerShot feature, which provides an additional 30 hp on demand—also making the R/T the fastest CUV in its class. The GT trim’s Intelligent AWD adapts to the road and steering input to distribute power where it’s needed in real-time. The R/T features e-AWD, blending electric efficiency with superior stability. Add that grip to the Dodge Active Exhaust system, which enhances the engine’s sound, and the Hornet is a built-to-perform powerhouse. Its compact size makes it nimble and agile, while its high-performance brakes provide the stopping power necessary to navigate tight corners and sudden stops with ease.

Inside, the Hornet offers a driver-centric cockpit with performance-inspired design elements. Available heated, ventilated Alcantara® sport seats with red accent stitching enhance the sporty ambiance, while the versatile interior layout includes 60/40 split-folding rear seats, offering up to 27 cu. ft. of cargo space. A 10.25-inch customizable touchscreen with Uconnect® 5 provides seamless access to entertainment and vehicle settings. An available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System with 14 speakers ensures an immersive listening experience.

Safety is paramount in the Hornet's design. Available features include a 360° Surround View Camera, ParkSense® Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, and Active Driving Assist, which provides semi-autonomous driving capabilities. Additional safety technologies such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist, and Drowsy Driver Detection work together to enhance driver awareness and mitigate potential hazards on the road.
