The 2023 Dodge Hornet has been making quite a buzz lately. The first in a new line of muscular compact SUVs from Dodge, the Hornet comes in two model variants: the fuel-powered GT trim, and the R/T trim, which represents Dodge's first hybrid. The professionals at Lester Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM give you an overview of each of these powerful vehicles.
Dodge Performance with a Jolt of Electricity
The Dodge Hornet GT enters with a sporty 2.0-liter Hurricane4 turbo engine, generating 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Hitting sport mode hones all this power down to a fine point, giving you the agility to zig and zag at will with its all-wheel drive and the ability to stop on a dime with Brembo brakes.
The Dodge Hornet features several suspension improvements to bring stability to its flight:
- Frequency selective damping suspension
- Macpherson fully independent suspension
- Chapman rear suspension
- Available dual-stage valve suspension
The Hornet R/T infuses a spark into the ride, drawing 15.5 kilowatts per hour from its rear-mounted electric motor. It reaches up to 288 horsepower and can sustain over 30 miles of all-electric driving. Hit Powershot mode to draw on the max available power and really feel the sting.
Customize with Four Packages
Customize your new Dodge SUV with any of these four available packages at our Toms River, NJ Dodge dealership.
The track pack brings extra race-inspired design in, with Alcantara® sport seats, abyss finish wheels, and a dual-stage valve suspension. It tips it all off with red brake calipers, bringing a sharp accent to the exterior.
The Blacktop® package gives the Hornet a darker, more imposing look, keeping the abyss finish wheels but extending the theme with black mirror caps, black-painted side window moldings, and black badges.
For those seeking an extra level of safety, the tech pack adds on several smart features, including active driving assist, intelligent speed assist, and drowsy driver detection, wrapping it all up with the comfort of a leather steering wheel.
The cold weather package, available on the Hornet GT and standard on all other trims, keeps you toasty with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
