During the mid-2000s, Dodge unveiled a revolutionary concept car, the Dodge Hornet, which caught the eyes of many as a potential addition to the brand's fast-paced lineup. Although it differed significantly from the final version released this year, the Hornet was worth the attention it received. Unfortunately, production halted due to the 2008 financial crisis, and the Hornet name was shelved indefinitely. It was not until 2023 that Dodge announced its plans to release the fastest SUV in its class, the 2023 Dodge Hornet, which has been highly anticipated by car enthusiasts ever since.
The Dodge Hornet September Spotlight Model brings impressive SUV horsepower and elegant styling yet again. Dodge brings four different versions of the Hornet to the market in 2023/2024, detailed below with engine specs:
- Hornet GT: 268-hp, Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
- Hornet GT Plus: 268-hp, Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder
- Hornet R/T PHEV: 288-hp, Turbocharged 1.3-liter Four-cylinder and Electric motor.
- Hornet R/T Plus PHEV: 288-hp, Turbocharged 1.3-liter Four-cylinder and Electric motor.
The 2023 Dodge Hornet is a solid choice for those looking for the space and practicality of an SUV but want a little more bump in their step. In their extensive testing, Car and Driver suggested the "powertrain is good enough to motivate the Hornet to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds." The Hornet models have an average fuel efficiency of 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Additionally, the R/T electric motor has a range of 30 miles.
The interior design of the 2023 Dodge Hornet takes inspiration from the popular Alfa Romeo Tonale SUV. The vehicle boasts a spacious, comfortable interior, with a remarkable 10.3-inch infotainment system and 12.3-inch digital gauge display screens. Leather seating options are available, with the standard choice being black and red stitching.
The 2023 Dodge Hornet comes in fun color options that please any eye. This includes 8 Ball, Gray Cray, Blue Steele, Blu Bayou, Hot Tamale Exterior Paint, Q Ball, and the recognizable Acapulco Gold color. Each Hornet also has a special hornet/bee badge on the side to indicate its uniqueness.
