Still, is this new model a good fit for you? Check out this review to get information such as 2023 Dodge Hornet specs, powertrain choices, features and amenities.
Hornet R/T PHEV
This hybrid is unique as the first electrified performance vehicle from Dodge, but it is much more than that. It leads its segment in power, and it has more than 30 miles of electric range. The combination of a gas-hybrid powertrain and a plug-in electric motor generates more than 285 horsepower. Even more impressive, drivers will command 383 lb-ft of torque.
Hornet PHEV models have exclusive PowerShot. This system gives you an extra 25 horsepower for fast and immediate acceleration. That’s why this small SUV can rush from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.
The model has dual exhaust pipes and Graphite Grey wheels. The Brembo front fixed calipers are made for the new Dodge Hornet. For sport driving, the cabin has steering-mounted paddle shifters.
Hornet GT
A turbocharged inline four cylinder is known as the Hurricane4 engine. Like the hybrid, it leads its segment. It generates 295 lb-ft of torque and more than 265 horsepower. This allows the Hornet to claim best-in-class horsepower to weight ratio.
The Hornet GT sport mode utilizes tighter steering, tighter steering and an electronic limited slip differential. This allows the CUV to do the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 6.5 seconds.

Dynamic Driving Features
Handling requires even more than energetic powertrains. That’s why Dodge has equipped these CUVs with a variety of devices aimed at improving driver response. Ride quality is sharpened with Koni shocks and a performance-optimized suspension. Dynamic torque vectoring moves the power among all four wheels not just front to back. Brembo four-piston brake calipers were specially developed for the Hornet.
The available Track Pack adds a dual stage valve suspension and 20-inch black painted wheels. Keeping up the tradition, Dodge allows owners to boost their performance with Direct Connection factory-backed parts. If that makes these Hornets sound like classic Dodge muscle cars, that’s because this small SUV definitely follows that dynamic lineage.
Exterior
The Hornet’s curb appeal draws from ideas developed over years of top performing cars. Styling cues come from the DNA design vocabulary. An aggressive look is achieved through merging new tech with traditional muscle.
The hood has integrated head extractors to help cool the air entering the engine. A mail-slot style grille opening adds another point of cool air entry. At the rear there’s a full-width tallamp. In the center, an illuminated Dodge Rhombi logo glows at night.
Sporty Interior Design
Naturally, the exterior curb appeal is reflected in the cabin’s good looks. The Dodge Hornet 2023 cockpit has dual display screens angled toward the driver. The air conditioning vents and center stack controls tip toward the user as well. Owners will love the Track Pack interior appointments such as the Alcantara seats.
Another best-in-class element, the 12.3-inch digital cockpit cluster behind the steering wheel is ready to meet the modern sport driver’s expectations. This is matched with a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Standard on both the R/T and GT, the driver has 22.5 inches of screens to provide information at a glance.
The UConnect 5 infotainment system makes it easy to personalize the screen, create profiles for two phones, and use voice commands. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay provide further connectivity. If you use Amazon Alexa, you can also coordinate this with your Hornet in-vehicle Amazon assistant.
Adding more atmosphere to the Dodge Hornet interior, available best-in-class surround sound makes every ride more fun. A Harman Kardon 465-watt system includes a subwoofer and 13 speakers that are placed strategically for maximum effect.
Safety and Driving Features
Calling it a Defensive Jacket, Dodge provides a lane support warning, automatic emergency brake, automatic counter steering and more. The blind spot monitor helps with safe lane changes, and the rear cross path monitor helps make parking safer when traffic is about.
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control regulates the speed with slow and go response to traffic patterns. Traffic Sign Recognition lets the driver know if speeds are changing. Intelligent Speed Assist can reduce the set speed if the speed limit changes. A fourth component is driver attention assist.
Dodge combines all of these features to achieve semi-automated driving capability. This available system has been upgraded for the new model year.
