2024 Dodge Hornet Fort Wayne IN

The 2024 Dodge Hornet comes with one standard powertrain for the GT and GT Plus trims, while Dodge's first plug-in hybrid powertrain is standard for the R/T and R/T Plus trims. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine. Titled Hurricane 4, the turbocharged engine pumps out a hefty 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered the the advanced all-wheel drive platform through a smooth and sturdy nine-speed automatic transmission. As was mentioned above, the Hornet's AWD system comes standard with active torque vectoring. While evenly distributing power between the front and rear wheels, the active torque vectoring feature allows power to be sent from side to side. The advantage of active torque vectoring is that when you are driving through corners, power to the outside wheels will be increased, while the inside wheels experience a decrease in power. Back on a stretch of straight pavement, power will return to an even distribution from front to back and side to side. This allows the Hornet to hug the road even on the windiest of roads! 

As we mentioned before, the R/T trim level is Dodge's first-ever plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). This impressive model has garnered attention as a prime example of Dodge's forward thinking. The Hornet R/T and R/T plus trims feature a 1.3L turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine under the hood. This internal combustion engine serves to power the front wheels. Meanwhile, the rear wheels are driven by a 90-kilowatt (kW) electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The R/T delivers an impressive 288 horsepower. Additionally, the Hornet R/T offers a whopping 383 lb-ft of torque, 184 of which is instantly sent to the wheels, courtesy of the electric power. With this power, the R/T trim achieves a 5.6-second 0-60 time, making it the quickest vehicle in its segment. Power is delivered the all four wheels with a robust six-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters for sequential gear control. While the power of the Hornet R/T sure is impressive, it offers much more to get excited about, beginning with the exclusive PowerShot feature. Activated by pulling both paddle shifters at the same time, PowerShot delivers a 15-second burst of 30 extra horsepower. Other features include four-piston Brembo high-performance brakes all the way around, 18-inch Graphite Gray alloy wheels, dual exhaust tips, KONI frequency adaptive damping suspension, and more.

The lineup of standard features for the 2024 Dodge Hornet is nothing short of impressive. The Hornet's design team essentially took what a compact utility vehicle should be and gave it Dodge's muscle car signature, providing the seamless blend of American muscle and CUV versatility. In the front, Dodge's muscle car signature takes center stage with an aggressive front end with glaring headlights with LED bulbs, a mailslot grille opening made iconic by the Charger Hellcat, and dual heat extractors on the hood for both style and functionality. At the sides, sharp character lines give the Hornet a muscular appearance, while the lower black cladding on the wheel wells, bumpers, and rocker panels announce that despite the muscle car cues, it still offers the versatility expected from a CUV. When you take the driver's seat, you'll find it to be a flawless blend of the interior of a modern vehicle and the cockpit of a modern jet. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is designed for maximum comfort in hands of all sizes. Behind the steering wheel is a 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster, providing an at-a-glance look at the most important driving information, which can be fully customized to the drivers preferences. Scanning your eyes to the right, you'll find the center stack angled toward you, providing the aforementioned cockpit-like feel. Atop the center stack is a horizontal 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment touchscreen with the latest automotive technologies. Looking down from the touchscreen, you'll see climate control buttons beneath sleek air vents and the ignition button on the left side. Other interior features include black leatherette-trimmed seats with red accent stitching, dual-zone automatic climate control, six speakers, and much more.
