4 Things to Love About the 2024 Dodge Hornet

Superb Engine Options

Dodge offers its 2024 Hornet in four trim levels with superb handling and supple road performance. The GT and GT Plus trims come with the automaker’s 2.0-liter Hurricane4 Turbo engine and output 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drivetrain, the engine pushes the Hornet to a top speed of 140 mph and a 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds.

The R/T and R/T Plus trims are the Hornet’s plug-in hybrid models. Each comes with a 1.3-liter turbo engine and an electric motor that together produce 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Like the gas trims, these models come with standard all-wheel drive and boast a 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds. The hybrid engine also delivers an outstanding fuel economy of 77 mpg combined.

A Luxurious Ride

The new Dodge Hornet is luxurious inside and out. Its eye-catching exterior includes sought-after styling elements on all trim levels, such as privacy glass, a unique Hornet front fascia, and GT upper and lower front grilles. Chrome Hornet badges, standard on all models, add visual appeal. The GT lineup also boasts exclusive GT badges, while exclusive R/T badges equip the two hybrid models.

Black upholstery with red stitching, standard on all trim levels, creates a stylish interior. Power-adjustable front seats clad in cloth with leatherette inserts or in leather, depending on the trim, provide the driver and front passenger with plenty of comfort. Rear passengers have plenty of room, while cubbies and door pockets offer ample storage space for essentials.

Cutting-Edge Technology

A wealth of tech features pair with the stylish interior, enhancing the model’s luxe feel. Each 2024 Hornet trim comes with a 10.25-inch center touchscreen display that includes all the features we have come to expect from modern infotainment systems.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, hands-free smartphone compatibility, and trial subscriptions to Dodge’s Connected Services and Sirius XM can keep you connected and entertained. In addition to the center screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster displays all essential driving information.

Amazing Optional Packages

Optional packages available on all trims add various levels of customization and driver assistance functions. The Tech Pack, for instance, includes a 360-degree surround view camera, traffic sign recognition, and drowsy driver detection, among others.

The Cold Weather Pack can enhance the driving experience during those cold Illinois winter months with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a remote vehicle start system. For enhanced off-road performance, the Track Pack brings 20-inch wheels that deliver improved traction on challenging roads. Ready to experience the 2024 Hornet?
