The 2025 Dodge Hornet brings excitement to the compact SUV segment, offering Dodge’s signature muscle-car attitude and performance, all without asking you to part with a fortune.

High-Octane Powertrains

The Dodge Hornet serves endless thrills via two high-output power plants. The Hornet GT is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-banger that generates 268 HP with an incredible 295 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to be the fastest in the CUV segment, clocking a top speed of 140 mph and going from 0 to 60 in just 6 seconds, ensuring an exhilarating rush every time you find an open road. It also enables a 2,000-pound towing capacity to add to its usefulness.

The R/T is even more explosive, pairing gas and electric power via an advanced plug-in hybrid system that delivers up to 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. This allows it to rocket to 60 in only 5 seconds, making it the quickest option in its class. The best part is that this potent powertrain is exceptionally efficient, returning an outstanding 77 MPGe while offering 32 miles of all-electric range so you don’t have to use gas for local runs.

Razor-Sharp Handling

The Hornet might be classified as an SUV, but it certainly doesn’t feel like one around turns. It slices through corners with such effortless poise and precision that you can’t help but look forward to every bend, all thanks to performance-tuned engineering. With near-perfect weight distribution, the Hornet is never out of balance, allowing it to maintain stellar composure at all times. Meanwhile, the standard all-wheel-drive system with Dynamic Torque Vectoring optimizes power distribution intelligently for maximum grip and stability.

To make things even better, the available Marelli Dual-Valve Suspension stiffens the chassis during spirited driving to minimize body roll, thus maximizing cornering control, while KONI shocks provide excellent cushioning across a wide range of road conditions and upgraded control during thrill runs. Complementing all this is the robust Brembo brake system that delivers immense, precisely modulated stopping power to ensure confident control in any situation. The result? An SUV that feels like a well-tuned track machine.

Spacious, Upmarket Interior

The Dodge Hornet comes with a tastefully crafted cabin to ensure the riding pleasure matches its exciting performance. Some of the niceties to expect can include heated seats, Alcantara upholstery with red accent stitching, a power sunroof, a heated leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, column-mounted paddle shifters, a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a hands-free power liftgate, wireless charging, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and more!
