2024 Dodge Hornet Performance
The 2024 Dodge Hornet is a compact utility vehicle (CUV) that combines performance, style, and technology. As Dodge enters the competitive crossover market, the Hornet stands out with its bold design and performance-oriented features. It offers two distinct powertrains to cater to different driving preferences: the GT trim, which focuses on traditional turbocharged performance, and the R/T trim, which introduces a plug-in hybrid powertrain for those seeking power and eco-friendly efficiency.
Performance
At the heart of the 2024 Dodge Hornet is its commitment to performance. It offers a range of powerful engine options designed to deliver impressive power and responsiveness. The GT and GT Plus trim levels are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. You can depen on the performance-focused powertrain to produce 268 hp and 295 lb-ft or torque. This is paired to an efficient nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD) capability.
The R/T trim levels introduce a plug-in hybrid powertrain you can count on for optimal efficiency. This PHEV combines a 1.3L turbocharged engine with an electric motor. Expect an impressive 288 combined horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The electric-only range is approximately 32 miles, making it perfect for a daily commute or errand running around Mid-Michigan cities, such a Saginaw, Midland and Mt Pleasant. Acceleration won’t be an issue either, with this powerful engine combination provided a 0 – 60 mph time of just 5.6 seconds! All the power is handled efficiently by the equipped six-speed transmission and AWD handling.
The Hornet’s suspension system is tuned for performance, balancing comfort and agility. Sport-tuned shock absorbers and springs enhance handling without sacrificing ride quality. The steering is precise and responsive, providing excellent feedback to the driver.
Fuel Efficiency
Despite its performance focus, the Hornet manages respectable fuel efficiency. The GT trims offer an estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The R/T hybrid trim enhances efficiency further with its plug-in hybrid capabilities, achieving up to 77 MPGe.
