If you are an enthusiast looking for a value-friendly, performance-oriented compact SUV, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more compelling option than the 2025 Dodge Hornet. As Dodge’s only compact SUV, the brand pulls out all the stops to ensure its high-performance pedigree shines through, resulting in the Hornet being the quickest and arguably most fun-to-drive choice in its segment. Aggressive yet elegant styling gives it undeniable curb appeal, while a spacious, lavishly appointed interior wraps you in refined comfort.
Class-Leading Power
The Hornet puts all other members of the CUV segment in its rearview courtesy of two ferocious powertrains. The standard Hornet (GT) is equipped with the brawny 2.0-liter turbo straight-four that generates an incredible 268 HP and nearly 300 pound-feet of torque! Thanks to this hard-hitting muscle, the GT dashes to 60 in only 6 seconds, outpacing most cars with ease. This torque-rich unit also enables a robust 2,000-pound towing capacity to ensure unmatched utility in its class.
Meanwhile, the Hornet R/T is the most powerful and quickest CUV on the market today, thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain that churns out a whopping 288 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to go from rest to 60 in just 5 seconds! The other perk of its cutting-edge hybrid technology is world-class efficiency, with the Hornet R/T achieving a jaw-dropping 77 MPGe. Its 33-mile all-electric range ensures that you don’t need gas to enjoy this vehicle.
Thrilling Handling
Once you get behind its wheel, the Dodge Hornet is quick to remind you that, despite being a family-friendly SUV, it also has that bad-boy edge that’s synonymous with its muscle car siblings. It showcases that self-assured attitude with a multitude of available high-performance features. To ensure unwavering stability around turns, it boasts standard all-wheel drive, near-perfect weight distribution, front and rear anti-roll bars, and a brake-actuated limited-slip differential that optimizes torque distribution for maximum grip.
But that’s not all, as the Marelli dual-stage valve suspension enhances its stability and control even further by stiffening the chassis during spirited driving, thus minimizing body roll when carving corners at high speeds, while KONI shocks adjust each wheel’s damping force in real-time to deliver an optimal blend of comfort and control at all times. Meanwhile, the slick-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission delivers power flawlessly, refining the driving feel, and comes with column-mounted paddle shifters for engaging, manual-style shifts.
Upscale Comfort
The Hornet’s spacious cabin is tastefully designed, featuring numerous available sophisticated amenities to ensure a premium riding experience. Some of these comfort features include climate-controlled seats, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto & built-in navigation, soft-touch leather upholstery, wireless charging for your devices, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more!
