Powerful and comfortable, the 2025 Dodge Hornet is a performance-oriented crossover utility vehicle ready for adventures. You can choose between two powertrains to match the power output and capabilities with your idea of thrill.
Meet the 2025 Dodge Hornet
The 2025 Hornet is the most powerful vehicle in the CUV segment and is designed for drivers who want it all. It is available in four trim levels divided into two lineups. The GT and GT Plus are powered by a 2.0L Hurricane4 turbo engine with 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain makes the Hornet the fastest CUV, with a top track speed of 140 miles per hour.
The R/T and R/T Plus models pair a 1.3L turbo engine with an electric system in a hybrid powertrain that pumps out 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. This system makes the Hornet the quickest CUV, with a 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds. Paddle shifters are optional with the standard gas engine and standard with the hybrid system, while performance Brembo brakes are standard on both Plus trim levels for enhanced high-speed handling.
Comfort and Convenience Features
Built for days on the road and adventures, the Hornet has a comfortable interior with seats for five and ample lounge spaces in both rows. Cloth and leatherette seating surfaces look sporty yet sophisticated, giving an upscale feel to the cabin. Manually adjustable front seats are standard on the base model, while power adjustments are standard on select trims.
Behind the rear seats, a cargo volume of 27 cubic feet provides plenty of room for outdoor gear, luggage, and other essentials. The rear seat has a 60/40 split-folding backrest and also features a convenient pass-thru that allows you to make room for long items, such as skis. Available roof rails make it easy to expand the cargo space outside the cabin, and you can also tow up to 2,000 pounds for added convenience.
Infotainment and Driver Assistance
Dodge’s intuitive Uconnect 5 infotainment system is standard across the lineup and comes with a huge 10.25-inch center touchscreen that is easy to reach from both the driver’s and front passenger’s seats. The system is compatible with Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, and boasts standard SiriusXM with a three-month trial.
Driver assistance technologies include blind spot and cross-path detection, collision-avoidance systems, and parking sensors. Dodge’s ParkView rear backup camera can help you avoid obstacles, while standard traffic sign recognition can keep you worry-free on the road.
