If you’re after a compact SUV with big attitude, look no further than the 2025 Dodge Hornet. Putting in a class-leading performance, this crossover utility vehicle certainly has a sting in its tail. Read on for the lowdown on the new Hornet.
Basics About the 2025 Dodge Hornet
Dodge injects its unique styling into the new Hornet to create an athletic CUV that stands out from the competition. The perfectly sculpted hood with integrated vents curves down toward the gloss black hornet-nest-inspired hexagonal split grille. LED headlamps and sleek daytime running lights illuminate the road ahead, while the LED light bar and illuminated rhombus logo shine brightly at the rear.
For 2025, the Hornet is available in four trim configurations, each topping the segment in terms of power and performance. Drivers can go all-gas with the GT or GT Plus, or opt for the more eco-friendly R/T or R/T Line with their hybrid powertrains.
Unique Features
Best-In-Class Gas Performance
Dodge knows a thing or two about engineering performance machines, so it’s no surprise that the GT has been crowned the fastest CUV in its class. This accolade is thanks to the all-wheel-drive setup and 2.0-liter Hurricane turbo engine at its heart. This powerful combination results in 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, which pushes the GT to top speeds of 140 mph.
Class-Leading Speed
Knocking the GT off the top spot in terms of speed is the R/T. By switching the drivetrain for a 1.4-liter PHEV, the R/T ups the output to 288 ponies and a mighty 382 pound-feet of torque. This power boost propels the R/T from 0 to 60 in just 5.6 seconds, making it the quickest CUV in the segment.
Driver-Centric Cockpit
Sitting behind the wheel of the Hornet is like being inside a cockpit built especially for you. Everything is intuitively placed for ease-of-use, including the start button and shift knob. Drivers can configure the area to suit their stature by adjusting the six-way seat and tilt and telescoping flat-bottomed steering wheel. You can even customize the 12-inch instrument cluster to display the information most important to you.
Uconnect Infotainment System
Dodge’s Uconnect infotainment system provides the entertainment on every journey. The 10.25-inch touchscreen is strategically angled towards the driver for easy access. Bluetooth tech lets you wirelessly connect your phone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system also allows you to store up to five driver profiles, so you can start every ride with your personal infotainment preferences.
