Dodge Hornet

The 2023 Dodge Hornet will offer gas and plug-in electric hybrid options as the brand moves toward electrification.

Orders for the Hornet GT will be taken beginning Wednesday for arrival at dealerships later this year. Dodge has also shown a GLH (Goes-Like-Hell) Concept to demonstrate what the brand’s Direct Connection performance parts can do. That doesn’t mean Dodge won’t continue to offer high-performance vehicles, but I don’t think its role within Stellantis will allow for such a narrow product focus." “With prices starting around $30,000, the Hornet should capture drivers who want something a little sportier than a Chevrolet Equinox or Ford Escape but cannot afford the entry-luxury models from BMW and Audi.” Driver attention assist, to detect fatigue, and intelligent adaptive cruise control are a couple of the available advanced driver assistance safety features. Pricing hasn’t either, although the GT is supposed to start at under $30,000. The R/T also has a nifty feature called PowerShot that can add an extra 25 horsepower for 15 seconds that’s repeatable after a 15-second cooldown. Hornet also gets the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. The 1.3-liter, four-cylinder turbo PHEV is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. We’re going to go in there with something that nobody else is shopping for in that segment,” The Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, has previously reported that an the perfect little politically correct segment for us to go in, (rile) it up and disrupt that segment.

This is the dodge hornet, and yes it looks familiar, but is the new face and performance enough to make it a "true" dodge?

Stellantis has certainly done a good job in setting up this vehicle for the masses as it is indeed equipped with a host of goodies to make this compact crossover SUV handle like a hoot. The 2023 Dodge Hornet starts at $29,995 for the base GT, while the R/T retails for $39,995. The flagship engine choice is found in the R/T, and this is a 1.3-liter turbo four-cylinder that’s mated to an electric motor and a 15.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. A limited-slip differential (LSD) comes as standard across the range, letting this crossover SUV put its power to the ground in a grippy fashion. Yes, this is the Alfa Romeo Tonale, and it’s been given a bit of a corporate redesign by Dodge to fit it into their design portfolio.

It's official: the Dodge Hornet is making a comeback for the 2023 model year, offered as a compact utility vehicle (CUV) with an electrified touch.

Well, the new Hornet does build off of the Tonale’s platform and hybrid offerings, but we’re happy to see the Hornet served up by Dodge as a bespoke-enough product. The Hornet R/T will arrive in spring 2023. In the case of the Hornet, performance-minded customers will be able to trick out their ride with a little extra sting via suspension lowering kits, unrestricted dual exhaust, special graphics and painted parts, and stackable performance upgrades. The 2023 Dodge Hornet was revealed on Tuesday, August 16th, at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, as part of the brand’s “Speed Week” celebrations. The Hornet GT is capable of 0-60 mph sprints of 6.5 seconds. The interior carries the performance motif with a driver-centric layout, tipping controls toward the operator.

The 2023 Dodge Hornet aims to be the sportiest SUV under $30000, with a regular turbo engine and a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It is cousin to the Alfa Romeo ...

Hornet R/T versions use the more interesting-sounding powertrain, a plug-in hybrid that nets 288 hp combined, based on a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a six-speed automatic, that works in parallel with a 90-kilowatt electric motor on the rear axle and 15.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. Cloth seats are standard, with leather seats coming on the GT Plus and R/T Plus trims. Much like the exterior, these screens, along with most of the design and hardware, are shared with the Tonale. The base Hornet GT features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Unfortunately, the system lacks any sort of knob for tuning, although a volume scroll wheel sits on the center console to the right of the conventional gear selector. Similarly, the rear window doesn’t appear to have a significant rake to it, and the wiper appears to cover a significant swath of glass. The multifunction steering wheel has controls for entertainment selections and volume, the driver information center in the gauge cluster, cruise control, and some active safety features. The GLH (Goes Like Hell) name was first used on the Shelby-tuned Dodge Omni, which was sold between 1984 and 1986. The bottom of the windows flows out of the hood, which on the Dodge features two large vents for removing engine heat, and begins to curve upward midway through the rear door, forming a curved triangular-shaped third window that tapers at the roofline. Dodge also introduced a Hornet GT GLH Concept, which is being used to showcase the Direct Connection collection of available performance parts. Like most cars and SUVs that benefit (or suffer, depending on your point of view) from badge engineering, the Hornet’s main shape and sheet metal are almost identical to the Tonale. Fitting with the brand’s muscle car image, Dodge is positioning the Hornet as a performance-oriented sporty compact SUV.

Speaking at the third day of Dodge Speed Week, Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said the automaker already had 14000 pre-orders for the new Hornet.

The next step up from the GT is the Hornet R/T, and that's where the electrification comes in. ECU tunes, suspension kits, exhaust upgrades, and GLH graphics present a version of the Hornet that could be created by buyers seeking a bit more excitement from the platform. The Hornet GT is where it starts, utilizing a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 265 horsepower. The Dodge Hornet promises impressive performance for under $30,000, and apparently, it's garnered some attention.

The R/T uses a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alongside an electric motor, resulting in a combined +285 hp and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) of torque, meaning it can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.1 seconds with the ‘PowerShot’ feature enabled off the line. It will be interesting to see what percentage of buyers opt for the Hornet GT and the R/T when the latter hits the market next year. This engine works alongside a nine-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels and allowing the SUV to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.5 seconds, not bad for an entry-level model.

Dodge and other Stellantis brands frequently offer a baseline of safety equipment, such as forward collision warnings and automatic emergency braking to bolster safety scores in vehicles. Alfa Romeo includes blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and more as standard kit in the Tonale. We may see a curved display or a panoramic display that combines the gauge cluster and infotainment screens, but that's less likely than a traditional display in a vehicle at the Hornet's expected price point. As for its actual on-sale date and official release in the United States, we're most likely looking at a date sometime late in 2022 or early 2023. Early spy photos show an SUV with strikingly similar styling to the Alfa Romeo Tonale, so it's not like Dodge is starting with a clean sheet design. The Hornet name originated on a Hudson model decades ago, which was handed off to Chrysler after the AMC acquisition in the late 1980s. The compact SUV will share much of its underpinnings with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, and will slot into the Dodge lineup beneath the long-running Durango.
