1. The Power of a Plug-In
When it comes to power, the Hornet has it covered. Hornet R/T and R/T Plus trims marry the might of an intercooled, turbocharged 1.3-liter gas power plant with the low-end push of an electric motor to create the most powerful compact crossover on the market, offering a stunning 288 max horsepower and hair-raising 383 lb-ft of torque, climbing from 0 to 60 in a best-in-class 5.6 seconds.
And with a fuel efficiency of 77 mpge and an all-electric range of 32 emissions-free miles, the Hornet R/T can save you plenty of pennies on pricey petroleum.
2. The Fastest CUV on the Market
Prefer an all-gas powerplant? Even the entry-level Hornet GT breaks the mold. The gasoline drivetrain offers a top speed of 140 miles per hour, the fastest in the segment, with a 2.0-liter, intercooled-turbo, Hurricane4 motor making 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque for blistering-fast acceleration and grin-inducing performance.
3. Segment-Exclusive PowerShot on Tap
Need a performance boost? PHEV models of the Hornet offer the segment-exclusive PowerShot feature, boosting engine output by 30hp to hurtle the Hornet past the competition. Your next merge could be even more exhilarating with an extra shot of power.
4. All-Wheel Drive + Torque Vectoring = Excellent Corners
When you take a corner, the inner and outer wheels travel different distances, requiring a different distribution of torque to maximize control and minimize over- or under-steer. And with dynamic torque vectoring and all-wheel drive both coming standard on every Hornet, corners just got a lot tighter to tackle, and a lot more fun, too.
5. Alexa Comes Along for the Ride
Thanks to the advanced Uconnect 5 infotainment system (displayed on a stunning, customizable, full-color center-mounted screen), Amazon’s Alexa can ride shotgun and take up the job of copilot. Have her stream music, set navigation points, check the weather, add items to your shopping list, and more. She can also start your Hornet from home, set the temperature, and get your Hornet ready to rise even before you get your rear in gear in the morning.
With cutting-edge performance, the innovation to add your AI assistant, and plenty of utility to boot, the 2024 Hornet deserves to be at the top of your to-drive list. So book your test drive today at Fury Motors St. Paul CDJR in South St. Paul, MN, and experience the might of the Hornet for yourself.
