Meet the 2025 Dodge Hornet: Compact Performance SUV

Basics About the 2025 Dodge Hornet

When the world’s leading performance car manufacturer sets out to create an SUV, you know you’re in for a treat. The new 2025 Dodge Hornet is an athletic machine that boasts Dodge’s distinctive styling to make it stand out. A gloss-black split grille dominates the frontage, leading seamlessly into the perfectly sculpted hood with its integrated vents. LED headlights illuminate at the front, while the brightly lit rhombus badge and LED light bar brighten up the rear.

Measuring just 178 inches in length, the Hornet is the perfect size for negotiating city streets and slotting into tight parking spots. Despite its small footprint, this CUV doesn’t compromise on internal space, as there is ample room for five passengers and a spacious cargo area that expands to 27 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

Unique Features

Powerful Gas Performance

No CUV can rival the Hornet when it comes to performance. At the heart of the GT trim is a 2.0-liter Hurricane4 turbo engine mated with a four-wheel-drive layout and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Kicking out 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, this outstanding gas powertrain results in the GT achieving a top speed of 140 mph, making it the fastest vehicle in its class.

Unrivalled Hybrid Performance

Where the GT holds the title as the fastest, the R/T trim earns the accolade of the quickest CUV in the segment. Dodge achieves this by switching the gas engine for a hybrid powertrain.

It may be more eco-friendly, but the 1.4-liter PHEV packs a mighty punch, generating 383 pound-feet of torque and propelling the R/T from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Engage the class-exclusive PowerShot feature to gain an additional 30 horsepower for 15 seconds, and this hybrid’s output hits 288 ponies.

Advanced Technology

Inside the tech-rich cockpit, a 12-inch digital instrument display puts vehicle data and warning messages directly in the driver’s sightline. It’s also fully customizable, letting you choose what information to view.

Dodge equips the Hornet with Uconnect, its advanced infotainment system. At the center of the dash is a 10.25-inch smartphone-compatible touchscreen angled toward the driver for ease of use. And, you can start every journey with your personal settings loaded thanks to the memory feature, which saves up to five different driver profiles.
