👉2023 2024 Dodge Hornet GT AWD -- Ultimate In-Depth Look & Test Drive

All-new Dodge Hornet Offers Quickest, Fastest, Most Powerful Compact Utility Vehicle Under $30,000
All-new Dodge Hornet opens ‘gateway’ for enthusiasts to enter the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle, brings buzz to compact utility vehicle (CUV) segment with unmistakable Dodge styling cues and performance
All-new Dodge Hornet delivers best-in-class performance from two models in a multi-energy powertrain roster, with each featuring a dedicated powertrain and standard all-wheel drive:
Dodge Hornet R/T performance hybrid - the first-ever electrified performance vehicle from Dodge - will be the most powerful utility vehicle in the segment with 288 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, and offers more than 30 miles of all-electric range via a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery
Dodge Hornet GT, fueled by the Hurricane4 engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four cylinder, debuts as the segment’s most powerful gas engine at 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque
2024 Dodge Hornet R/T - “Head of Hive” is electrified:
Class-exclusive, on-demand PowerShot feature for Hornet R/T supplies a burst of 30 horsepower, shaving a full 1.5-seconds off the normal 0 to 60 mph time, to 5.6 seconds
Standard features on the R/T include 18-inch Graphite Grey wheels, Dodge-branded Brembo front fixed calipers, dual exhaust, steering-mounted paddle shifters and more
R/T offers Sport Mode and three hybrid driving modes: Hybrid, Electric and E-Save
2023 Dodge Hornet GT - Industry’s quickest, fastest, most powerful utility vehicle under $30,000 (excluding destination charge)
Sport Mode offers sharper throttle, optimized upshifts, tighter steering and electronic limited slip differential to go from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds
All-new Dodge Hornet unleashes muscular Dodge DNA design vocabulary on a new segment, with characteristic Dodge styling cues, such as a hood with integrated heat extractors, ‘mail slot’-style grille opening, and a vehicle-width taillamp with center illuminated Dodge Rhombi logo - a first for a Dodge vehicle
Dodge Hornet interior design aligns with driver-centric cockpit feel of the entire Dodge vehicle lineup - center stack controls, display screens and HVAC vents are “tipped” to angle towards the driver
Hornet swarms the segment with best-in-class and class-exclusive dynamic driving features such as Koni shocks, Brembo four-piston brake calipers, dynamic torque vectoring and more to optimize suspension, braking, steering and handling performance
Direct Connection factory-backed performance parts from Dodge, available through Dodge Power Brokers dealers, give enthusiasts the keys to boost power of the already formidable Hornet
Technologically advanced, Dodge driver-centric user experience includes best-in-class 12.3-inch digital cockpit cluster screen and a 10.25-inch central display, both standard on R/T and GT, delivering more than 22.5 inches of in-vehicle display screen space
Android-based, easy-to-use Uconnect 5 infotainment system is standard on both Hornet models, with features including:
Profile content and home screens that can be personalized
Dual connected phone profile support
Wireless Android Auto and CarPlay
Access to vehicle settings, including EV pages for R/T
Amazon Alexa allows users to connect their digital lifestyle to the Hornet with in-vehicle Alexa virtual assistant with natural voice capability
Best-in-class Harman Kardon® premium sound system pumps out 465 watts of total system output through 14 speakers and subwoofer
Dodge Hornet offers available Level 2 autonomy, including Intelligent Speed Assist with Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Assist, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control and more

Today, you should ask yourself... Why do i need a 2000kg vehicle to move around 70kg ?

[@MikesCarInfo]

Good question! I guess that's like asking why we need a whole house when we only sleep in one bed. Sometimes, it's not just about moving 70kg; it's about doing it in style, comfort, and safety! Maybe next time I'll review a moped that comes with seat warmers, cup holders, and room for a family of four - stay tuned! ;)

Looks slick, however, a Mazda CX-30 GT turbo delivers 250 HP and 320 ft lbs of torque with better fuel economy in a 6 speed transmission. A shame that the Europeans couldn’t deliver more power with the 9 speed transmission and more mpg.

[@wadia781i1]

А здесь 268 лошадей ...!

[@intime69]

If you look at other comparisons, the Hornet has a better 0 to 60 than the Mazda CX-30 by about half a second. When you floor it, it really goes! Bought one for my teenagers but I’m the one using it for now. Absolutely love it!

[@maximus11400]

@frankcarenza921 but you are forgetting the Mazda has a shitty CVT transmission and is slower than the Hornet GT or RT

[@irishuwould5185]

Not a V6? Moving on…

[@maximus11400]

Doesn't need a V6. The GT has a 2.0 turbo and the RT has a 1.3 turbo with a 190 hp electric motor.

[@mark9ohio]

Terrible review. Too many contradictory statements, such as "armrest is hard, it's soft, like a tire". Over-used the expression, "something to consider". I had to stop watching 3/4 way through it...too much complaining.

[@MikesCarInfo]

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on my review. I appreciate all feedback, as it helps me to improve and offer more value to my audience. Regarding the point about contradictory statements, my intention was to convey the nuanced experience of the vehicle's features, like the armrest's unique texture, which might not be straightforward to categorize as simply 'hard' or 'soft.' I strive to provide detailed insights that reflect the complexity and real-world feel of the car, which sometimes involves exploring these grey areas. I understand that my repeated use of 'something to consider' might have come across as overused. My aim was to highlight various aspects that potential buyers might find relevant, but I see how it could be perceived as repetitive. I’ll work on varying my language in future reviews to keep the content fresh and engaging. As for the perception of too much complaining, I aim to create balanced reviews that cover both positives and negatives to give a comprehensive view of the vehicle. This approach might sometimes lean more into critique, especially when discussing areas I believe could impact a buyer's decision or satisfaction. However, I value your input and will reflect on how I can better balance my critique with the vehicle's positive attributes in the future. I believe in the importance of honest and thorough reviews, and it’s never my intention to misrepresent a vehicle’s capabilities or features. I invite you to share any specific areas you felt were unfairly criticized, as I’m open to re-evaluating my assessments in light of new information or perspectives.

[@revdup_3923]

Wow this is quite embarrassing. I can’t believe Dodge would just re-badge this Alfa, Romeo Stelvio and try to convince the customers to buy these horrible cars. L dodge

[@voodoodiecast]
