Backed by the Dodge legacy of performance, at the heart of the 2024 Dodge Hornet lies an impressive powertrain that propels this CUV into a league of its own. Its standard 2-liter Hurricane4 Turbo engine delivers a punchy 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This power, seamlessly harnessed by the 9-speed automatic transmission, ensures a thrilling driving experience, whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling off-road adventures.
If that’s not quite enough bite, you can choose the Hornet’s 1.3L Turbo PHEV (plug-in hybrid) powertrain that pairs a 4-cylinder engine with an electric battery to deliver a stinging 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. You’ll be able to fly for up to 32 all-electric miles and wing your way for a 360-mile total driving range on a single charge.
The Hornet's performance isn't just about raw power, though; it's also about control and adaptability. Its standard all-wheel drive system dynamically distributes torque between the front and rear axles, enhancing traction and stability on any terrain. Plus, available Sport Mode (accessible with either powertrain) sharpens handling and maximizes performance with a responsive driving feel.
The 2024 Dodge Hornet is a head-turner. Its sculpted hood scoops and muscular wheel arches add a touch of aggression, hinting at the Hornet's performance capabilities. The bold grille, flanked by LED auto-leveling headlamps, establishes a commanding presence. Its unique Dodge Racetrack taillamp sports the first-ever Dodge Rhombi logo, paying homage to previous high-performance Dodge icons.
The Hornet offers a range of eye-catching and performance-enhancing packages. The Blacktop® Package, for instance, enhances the Hornet's athletic stance with:
- 18-inch Abyss Finish wheels
- Gloss Black painted side window moldings
- Black mirror caps
- Dark “Hornet” and “GT” badges
When it comes to the Hornet’s design, practicality hasn't been overlooked either. Its 60/40 split-folding rear seats can be configured to accommodate passengers and their gear with 27 cubic feet of cargo space. Meanwhile, the available hands-free power liftgate further enhances convenience, allowing you to access the cargo area effortlessly, even when your hands are full.
Step into the interior of the 2024 Dodge Hornet, a hive that seamlessly integrates innovation and user-friendly interfaces. The Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, showcased on an all-new 10.25-inch touchscreen, takes center stage. It ensures you have everything you need to remain connected, informed, and entertained at your fingertips, including:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
- Bluetooth® connectivity
- Available wireless charging pad
- Customizable all-new 12-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display
- Available 14-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System
In the realm of convenience, the driver-centric cockpit in the Hornet raises the bar.
Of course, the most important technology is related to safety. The 2024 Hornet equips an arsenal of standard and available driver-assistance features, so you’re always ready for the unexpected. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop are among its many protective features that contribute to a safer driving experience.
With its statement of power, style, and technological prowess, the 2024 Dodge Hornet is more than a compact SUV. From its potent performance capabilities and versatile design to its tech-forward interior, the Hornet exudes desirability at every turn.
