August 17 2022,
The all-new 2023 Dodge Hornet is a brand-new compact SUV from Dodge that will offer impressive powertrains, the latest technology, and head-turning design. This is an SUV that is unlike anything else on the market, and we guarantee you will be impressed by everything that it has to offer. The 2023 Dodge Hornet stands out in multiple ways, but here are three elements that are particularly noteworthy.
The impressive new plug-in hybrid powertrain
The 2023 Dodge Hornet R/T is a brand-new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that features a powerful PHEV motor that delivers a ton of power along with impressive all-electric capability. The new 2023 Dodge Hornet features a combination of a 1.3 L turbocharged gas engine with an induction electric motor on the rear axle and a 15.5-kWh battery. This battery has enough power to propel the Dodge Hornet SUV over 50 km without using a single drop of fuel.
The combination of the gas engine and the electric motor deliver a stout 285 hp to go along with 383 pound-feet of torque. This is enough power to reach 100 km/h in under seven seconds, but the new Dodge Hornet R/T also features a PowerShot feature for even quicker accelerations and an extra boost of 25 hp.
The Dodge Hornet is built for performance
The 2023 Dodge Hornet will be quick and powerful in every version. The top-of-the-line R/T with its PHEV engine is certainly the one that stands out, but even the entry-level Dodge Hornet GT with its 2 L turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, will offer an impressive 265 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque.
The 2023 Hornet is definitely built to have fun on the road. Not only does it get the impressive powertrains, but it also features available Koni shocks, Brembo four-piston brake calibers, dynamic torque vectoring, and an enhanced suspension. You get all of this for under $40,000 which is another distinctive element of the 2023 Dodge Hornet.
The impressive technology
The 2023 Dodge Hornet will be all about performance and technology. The interior features a dual screen set up with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster to go along with a 10.25-inch centre display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as all of the functionality of the latest Uconnect5 infotainment system are just part of the features offered in the new Hornet.
There will also be advanced safety technology as well as an impressive Harman Kardon premium sound system with 465 watts. There is a semi-autonomous driving system with Intelligent Speed Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition as well as Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control.
The 2023 Dodge Hornet will arrive on the market in December with the plug-in hybrid Hornet R/T model arriving in the spring. Give us a call today to learn more.
