When it comes to performance, Dodge drivers expect the best. And with the 2025 Dodge Hornet, they get it. The Hornet claims titles including the fastest 0-60 times in its class, the most horsepower in its class, and even the highest top speed in the compact UV market. Here's what to know about the SUV that's leaving the competition staring enviously at its taillights.

GT vs R/T: Pick Your Powertrain

The 2025 Hornet has all the soul and muscle drivers have come to expect from Dodge. The conventionally powered GT models offer the highest top speed in the compact SUV class, sporting a top speed of 140 miles per hour. That's thanks to its beefy 2.0-liter power plant, which puts out 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque for uncompromising performance that's sure to plaster a grin on the face of any driving enthusiast.

The R/T is the PHEV powertrain for the Hornet, and it packs a punch. Its 288 maximum combined horsepower leads the class, as does its 5.6-second 0-60 time. A torque output of up to 383 lb-ft makes for acceleration that pushes everyone onboard back into their sport-inspired seats and leaves the competition in the dust. A segment-exclusive PowerShot feature adds an additional 30 horsepower for up to 15 seconds at a time for even more thrills.

Crossover Convenience

Performance is all well and good when we can slip away to the track, but how a vehicle performs in everyday tasks like commuting and errand-running will make or break its usability for most drivers. That's why the Hornet offers plenty of convenience that make it eminently practical. The backseat is roomy and spacious even for tall adults. There are also 27 cubic feet of space underneath the cargo hatch, making plenty of room for bags and belongings.

Driver assist technologies also feature heavily in the Hornet to help make driving easier and safer. Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop help prevent forward collisions, while standard blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts help prevent sideswipe collisions during lane changes. Adaptive Cruise Control makes highway journeys easier by automatically maintaining a safe following distance even if traffic slows to a crawl.

Interior Innovation

The standard 12.3-inch digital cluster display and 10.25-inch center-mounted infotainment display put plenty of data exactly where you need it. In fact, the 2025 Hornet has the largest total standard screen size in its class. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system offers seamless smartphone integration and is compatible with Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Amazon's Alexa also hitches a ride, making it easy to stream content, set vehicle temperatures, and more.

The Cold Weather Package comes standard on all but entry-level Hornets, and includes heating for both front seats and the steering wheel. Additionally, the system allows for remote vehicle starts to allow the Hornet to heat up in cold weather, making it comfortable to climb inside no matter how cold the weather.

The 2025 Hornet, discussed thoroughly in our Model Research, isn't just packed with performance. It's also a vehicle that's practical and perfect for the everyday. Test drive a 2025 Hornet today at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Highland Park, MI.
