The 2024 Dodge Hornet balances sporty performance with ample power and a driver-focused build with plenty of tools to streamline your driving experience. The thoughtful, high-quality craftsmanship of this crossover utility vehicle (CUV) is evident at every single level, from its outer appearance to its cabin design and the performance you get from its robust engine. Let’s check out the important ways that the 2024 Dodge Hornet represents the perfect blend of performance and practicality. more Mechanics The 2024 Dodge Hornet's two-liter four-cylinder DOHC engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Dodge's newest Hornet model offers drivers 268 horsepower with 295 lb.-ft. of torque. The Hornet's fuel economy is one of the highest in the CUV class at an EPA-estimated 29 MPG on the highway and 21 MPG in the city for a combined EPA-estimated score of 24 MPG. Interior The Hornet's newly updated cabin was designed with a focus on comfort. The seats are trimmed in cloth and leatherette, the floors are carpeted from the front to the rear, and the door trim inserts are made with vinyl. Both the front and rear seats have cupholders and door bins for storage, and the steering wheel features mounted controls for media volume and cruise control. The spacious interior of the 2024 Hornet allows space for four passengers in addition to the driver. The driver's and front passenger's seats have six-way seating adjustments, and the rear seats are a connected bench with 60/40 split fold for customizability in rear storage. The cargo area has plenty of space for shopping trips and family outings with 27 cubic feet of room, but you can make even more room by folding down the rear bench's seats. Cruise Control The newest Hornet iteration comes equipped with the intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control program with distance pacing.

Stability Systems All 2024 Hornets include systems such as ABS/driveline traction control and electronic stability control. The latter has anti-rollover technology to help keep you and your passengers safe in poor road conditions or during emergency maneuvers.

Securing car financing is often the biggest hurdle when purchasing a new vehicle. There are so many banks, credit unions, and online lenders that it can be difficult to choose where to go to get it. However, what if we told you the best place to go was actually just your CDJR dealer? Let's take a look at 4 benefits of getting car financing through your CDJR Dealer. more 1. You Only Take One Trip You typically have to go to the bank or credit union person if you want to apply for a loan. Even if you get preapproved, you'll then have to go to the dealership to pick a car, test drive it, and then purchase it. Financing through the dealer is a great way to save time, as you can get preapproved online and then visit the dealership to test drive and purchase your car. While you're there, you can also trade in your old vehicle to make the process even more convenient. 2. You Have Fewer Delays There's a lot of research that goes into buying a car, and you have to do even more research if you wish to finance through a bank, credit union, or online lender. You have to find different lenders, and then you need to research and gather lots of information about the car you want so you can provide it to the lenders you're applying with. When financing at the dealership, we already have all the information about your chosen vehicle. 3. You Have Fewer Limits Financing outside of the dealership limits you in several ways. First of all, there may be specific requirements when you're buying a used car; you may have to stick to buying cars under a certain age and/or mileage. Those limits don't exist when you finance with a dealer. Secondly, financing through a bank or credit union may limit which cars are available to you. You might have to choose your car from a dealership the lender already has a relationship with. The car you've set your heart on might not be available at one of those dealerships, meaning you have to find a different vehicle to purchase. 4. You Don't Need Perfect Credit If you're looking for a loan and don't have great credit, then the bank definitely isn't the place to go. Often, people with a low credit score or a complicated/poor credit history can't get financing from a bank or credit union. Dealerships, however, work with people whose credit may not be in the best shape and often offer financing to them. Get preapproved on our website or visit us in person to find out if you qualify for a loan with us. Visit Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Shiloh, IL today.

The utilitarianism of minivans is unmatched. However, many minivans sacrifice a lot of style, fuel efficiency, and performance points for that practicality. The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid deviates from the norm by combining spaciousness and functionality with sleek design, comfort, and an unheard-of fuel economy thanks to being the only plug-in hybrid minivan on the market today.

Charging is remarkably convenient, too, especially if you use the available level 2 home charger that allows you to get a full charge in as little as 2 hours! Spacious and Luxurious Interior With a whopping 165 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Pacifica Hybrid's cabin feels like a hall, allowing it to accommodate up to 8 people comfortably.

If you needed replacement parts for a luxury watch, you would certainly opt for genuine factory parts. A luxury watch is so complex and intricate that we can clearly see the damage that even a single imperfectly crafted part might cause to the mechanism as a whole. The same reasoning applies to your car; if you need new replacement components, nothing beats having genuine OEM parts installed at your local CDJR dealership. Let’s explore a few reasons why it’s essential to use genuine, factory OEM parts for your vehicle’s performance. more Perfect Compatibility OEM car parts are built precisely to the manufacturer's stringent standards and specifications. That means they fit your car like a glove, just as well as the original components. With generic aftermarket parts, on the other hand, slight imperfections in the dimensions and technical specifications often lead to excessive wear and tear over time and may even interfere with the part’s ability to work as it should. This means a gradual decline in your car's overall condition and performance at best, and sometimes, outright failure. Guaranteed Quality The quality of OEM components is assured by the same manufacturer as your car. This is often backed up with a generous extended warranty. Therefore, you know the component is extremely unlikely to suddenly malfunction. No such assurance exists with generic aftermarket car parts; you never know when a non-OEM component might stop working and cause serious damage to the rest of your car. Longer Lifespan Optimal vehicle performance requires thousands of high-quality car parts operating smoothly in unison for as long as possible. Ideally, you want each part of your car to last as long as an OEM part lasts. When an aftermarket car part wears out prematurely, as often occurs, other connected parts also suffer premature wear and tear, which hinders the long-term performance of your vehicle. Greater Safety Using only OEM components is generally the safest option for any safety-conscious driver. While some high quality aftermarket parts boast improved performance, they don’t always deliver. This is especially true of any component connected to the brakes, wheels, suspension, or steering. Why take the risk of compromising your safety and that of your loved ones with a potentially unreliable aftermarket part? Enhanced Peace of Mind For a truly optimal car ownership experience, you want to have peace of mind. With a vehicle filled with genuine OEM car parts, you can be assured that your car is well-cared for and every drive will see the vehicle performing exactly as it’s supposed to run. Learn More at Your Local CDJR Dealership You can find out more about OEM components at your local dealership. The technicians will be happy to explain the many benefits of using genuine parts, including the long-term cost savings from fewer repairs and replacements down the road. Visit Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Shiloh, IL today to have top-notch OEM components installed in your car. With a broad range of vehicles, competitive deals, hassle-free financing, and prompt, courteous maintenance, we serve as a one-stop shop for all your automotive needs.

When it comes to car tires, it's best to err on the side of caution and replace them at the first sign of trouble. No matter how safe your driving habits are, overly worn or faulty tires dramatically increase your risk of having a collision. With this in mind, watch out for the following tire-related issues, and don't hesitate to have worn-out or damaged tires replaced with new tires at your local CDJR dealership. more Strange Rumbling and Vibrations Various kinds of tire trouble can lead to an excess of road friction. Depending on how familiar you are with the usual sounds and sensations produced by your car, you might notice an increase in road noise and vibrations. If in doubt, turn off the stereo, roll down the windows, and listen carefully to your car for a long stretch of the road. Tires Wearing Down Unevenly One common cause of vibrations is uneven tires. Regular rotation is usually an effective remedy for uneven tire wear. However, if a set of four tires becomes noticeably different in size and condition, you might need a whole new set. Insufficient Tread Depths If you look after your tires well, they may last until the treads have worn out. Tire treads are no longer safe to use when the tread depths reach 2/32 of an inch. If your tire treads are drawing near to this depth, measure them frequently and prepare to have them replaced sometime soon. Dry, Brittle, Cracking Sidewalls UV rays in sunlight, chemicals from the road, and extreme temperatures can all cause tire rubber to dry out. As this happens, the sidewalls of tires tend to develop small cracks. If the normally gradual drying-out process becomes suddenly severe in one of your tires, you might have a case of dry rot. This is where the tire becomes too brittle, dry, and filled with cracks for continued safe use. Punctures or Embedded Objects Skillful technicians can often repair minor punctures and small holes made by embedded objects. However, larger punctures or holes in awkward locations on a tire often mean the tire is no longer safe to drive on. Bulges and Other Tire Damage Impacts with potholes, curbs, parking stanchions, and sharp objects on the road sometimes fail to puncture a tire but can still cause irreparable damage. If one of your tires has a mysterious bulge or a particularly large gash, have a technician take a look; the tire will probably have to go. Visit Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Shiloh, IL, today to have your worn-out tires replaced. We're a local full-service dealership providing a generous range of new and pre-owned vehicles alongside courteous, knowledgeable staff for sales, support, and maintenance.
