Dodge Dealer’s Basics About the 2023 Dodge Hornet

If you want a crossover SUV that puts the sport in sports utility vehicle and that delivers a sting on the road, look no further than Dodge’s latest member of the nest. With a starting price in the $30,000 range, this compact drive’s affordable and stylish. And you’ll be able to choose from a traditional powertrain with the GT trim or a modern hybrid powertrain with the R/T trim.

Pick Your Sweet Power Poison

A turbocharged four-cylinder engine boasting a solid 268 stallions of power pumps the fire for the GT. Nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive help make this dynamic auto a handling dream. And with a push of the steering wheel button, you can enter Activate Sport Mode for even more thrills. Better yet, add the Track Pack, and you’ll enhance your ride with dual-mode suspension, massive 20-inch wheels, and all-season tires truly made to burn rubber in the best way.

If your preference rests with the plug-in hybrid R/T, your horsepower potential rises to 288. And you’ll be able to test out all-electric driving with about 30 miles of purely electric driving range. Plus, the Hornet provides an even more powerful stinger in the standard PowerShot feature that powers up your electric driving experience. Just like the best worker bees, this auto’s a mighty transporter, too, capable of towing a ton.

Customize Your Pretty Package

Step inside the hive of the Hornet and you’ll be treated to just the right amount of sporty style tailored to your tastes. While upscale black leatherette with red stitching is the standard upholstery, you can get genuine leather or faux suede with certain upgrades. The seats can also be made all-red and infused with heating, lumbar support, and power adjustability. No matter your preference, the seating is comfortable and roomy, fitting up to five people.

Cargo-wise, you’ll enjoy about 27 cubic feet of capacity. Fold the second-row seats, though, and this number doubles. And all the space is contained within a muscular body that can be dressed in a wardrobe ranging from blue to gold.

Take High-Tech on the Road

The Hornet’s tech enhancements are made for driver engagement, with easy-to-read 10-plus inch touchscreens and foot-long digital gauge displays slanted toward the driver. The Uconnect 5 infotainment system is stacked with in-demand standard features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as Amazon Alexa capabilities. Music lovers are sure to be drawn to the optional 14-speaker stereo system.
