Is the 2023 Dodge Hornet R/T a new performance SUV worth the PRICE?

FIRST DRIVE: The Hornet R/T is all new from Dodge and brings AWD performance. On the outside you will see a unique Hornet hood with functional heat extractors, 2in wheels, Brembo Brakes and dual outlet exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by performance leather. Alcantara seats, 12in digital gauge cluster and 10.25in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 1.3L turbocharged inline-4 pared with an electric motor and e-axle mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Dodge Hornet R/T a new performance SUV worth the PRICE?

The torque actually comes in lower because of the two electric motors.

@@RaitisRides makes sense 👍

[@bbqspaghetti3444]

Even though the 1.3 makes more power, I feel like the 3.6L hybrid would've been a better platform for this vehicle if dodge really needed a car with a hybrid engine. A small 1.3L doesn't really scream "R/T" in my opinion.

[@RaitisRides]

That is a very good point!

[@VanquishedAgain]

The 1.3 doesn't make more power. It only does so with the electric motors. Honestly I'm confused why they wouldn't just give it the GT's motor with the Electric motors and actually make a good car.

[@bierlichen1]

It's the torque.

[@kylep3759]

This sucks.

[@ducktails1695]

@@VanquishedAgain Power is power...doesn't matter how or where it comes from. It also has a shitload more torque which is what actually gets you up to speed, not HP. They can't offer it in the GT at the $30,000 price tag. That drivetrain has to be pretty expensive right now which is why it's on the R/T and the R/T is so much more expensive. Hopefully as time goes on the tech will get cheaper and they can offer a GT hybrid option.

Good review Joe! The RT is better looking than the GT especially in that red color. However, at 52K they’ll have trouble selling this IMO. With today’s inflated pricing, it seems they should have started under 40K with the RT, let’s say $39,999 and kept the top end at around $45K. No way I’d touch a top end RT over 50K with the many choices in the market. And since it’s a “tweeter” they’re going to compete at the sub and compact levels. Cheers!

[@yippie6862]

$52,000! That's a lot money considering the drivetrain complication, the weight, reliability record of Dodge/Alfa and not quite looking like an upscale 52 grand vehicle. As one example, for that same price you can get a Genesis GV70 2.0T AWD with the Advanced package. A little less weight, less complicated drivetrain, better 8 speed automatic, a more upscale fit, finish and looks IMO, a bit larger inside with a better warranty. The few mpg's and 10ths of second gained in the Hornet just doesn't outweigh the many advantages of the Genesis. The Hornet does seem a little more sporty but how often is someone going to drive their car at the limit? For 5 grand less the Hornet could be a winner.

[@bryanwashington9511]

This is a neat vehicle yes I'm not that thrilled about it but the Hornet should be a performance car in my opinion.

[@ii_dynasty]

Half of it is probably coming from the electric motors.

[@ThomasVeilleux]

the 1,3 L engine alone does not produce 280 hp, rather 177hp. With the assistance of the electric motor then you have around 288 horsepower. Mr Raiti"s should know better or maybe he himself is not aware of that. Anyway, i have had in the past a few turbo engines from Chrysler ( 2,2 l ) and never had any issue with those, I even modified one with cold intake filter, headers, intercooler, exhaust and with all the added power, my little 2,2 L never experienced any single issue, very reliable. So again the 1.3L engine alone does not develop 280 horsepower. Never believe without verifying what these people evaluating cars say. A few times they are completely wrong with their numbers and specifications

30 miles on a level 2 2.5 hour charge. What are the rest of the mpg’s?

[@TwoPair72]

It’s a small Italian CUV with a Charger front end. You can get a larger AWD 2.0 Escape weighing 600 lbs. less with almost the same 0-60 numbers and save thousands. I’ll put 50k towards a Passport or something with real cargo space.

I don’t mind it at all, looks good to me.

[@RaitisRides]

I am glad that you are digging this one.

@@RaitisRides Yessir thank you.

[@bullittboost6046]

R/T a little pricey. I want to really see what the GLH Package offers. I would either buy GT Plus or GLH.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this one.

[@bullittboost6046]

@@RaitisRides Have you heard anything on GLH Model. Can’t really find much on it.

Joe do you know if dodge will redesign the dodge Durango for 2024, or 2025?

[@RaitisRides]

I am sure it is coming!

[@bmlove81]

Hey Joe. Didn't the Hornet GT, you reviewed a little while ago. Have heated & cooled seats?

[@RaitisRides]

Yes Bennie but the performance seats do not.

I'm not a fan of this rebadged Alfa Romeo riding on the same platform as the Jeep Compass. Alfa Romeo is owned by Stellantis now. Stellantis owns Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Mopar, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall. These automakers couldn't survive on their own; being part of a conglomerate doesn't mean they are suddenly a good brand.

[@RaitisRides]

It is going to be interesting to see to see how this all turns out!

[@Thurmanatr16]

Amen!

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

@@RaitisRides I might not be a fan of the car, but I still enjoyed the review. Keep the content coming!

Dodge lost their mind with the price. 52k can buy me a 2018 hellcat that’s probably not clapped out

[@clearcut6818]

It's a PHEV

[@VanquishedAgain]

​@@clearcut6818 just another reason not to buy it

[@belloviper]

For that price I would buy a Durango
