Dodge Hornet Engine Options

The Hurricane is here! This fantastic engine has a ton of power to go around as when you look under the hood; you will see an inline Hurricane I-4, which competes with all of the V8 engines with a spectacular 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The engine makes the Dodge Hornet one of the most powerful small SUVs ever created. All of the power is sent through a smooth-sailing nine-speed automatic transmission and connects to an all-wheel-drive, giving the perfect amount of traction for those days when the weather is terrible. This version of the Dodge Hornet can go from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds or less, which makes the Hornet more of a muscle car wrapped in the body of an SUV! 

There are a ton of Dodge fans out there who covet the R/T badge, as it focuses on sportiness above anything else. The R/T is the perfect trim for the Hornet, a plug-in hybrid that gives you some easygoing electric driving experience and all the power you need to blow by all those other cars on the highway. The battery pack is a 15.5-kWh battery that will combine with a 90-kW motor that will send all of the power to the rear wheels and provide you with more than 30 miles of all-electric range. The base engine is a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that combines with a six-speed automatic transmission and pumps out 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Also, the R/T trim comes with a PowerShot feature that will maximize the Hornet's power in 15-second bursts, taking a full second off the 0-60 time as it will get there in 6.1 seconds or less. When you switch to hybrid mode, you also get a tremendous fuel economy. 

If you are a Dodge owner, chances are you love customizing your vehicle. Dodge has added the Direct Connection Program, known as the Hornet GT GLH, which takes its name from the Dodge Omni GLH hatchback from the 1980s to support these types of drivers. This program provides your Hornet with a lowered suspension, bigger wheels, louder exhaust, stand-out decals, and power boosts. In addition to the power and the customization that the Hornet has, several safety features come standard on the Hornet. Automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are included. You can also opt for the Tech Pack, which adds traffic sign recognition, driver attention monitoring, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control.

In addition to these wonderful safety systems, the Hornet comes loaded with fun tech no matter what trim level you go with. Standard is a 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital display and a 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. This touchscreen has an Android-based user interface with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa functionality. With a spectacular Bluetooth system, you can connect to multiple phones simultaneously. Other features include front-row USB ports, a wireless charger, and a 14-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system.
