Dodge Hornet Capability
Versatility takes on a whole new meaning when your compact SUV can tow 2,000 pounds, hit 140 mph, and still fit in your garage. The R/T's plug-in system delivers 74.9 MPGe combined. It also offers 32 miles of whisper-quiet electric range for those Chandler commutes. With 360 miles of total range, you'll spend less time at gas stations and more time enjoying the drive.
The sophisticated all-wheel drive system comes standard across the board. It features torque vectoring that reads the road and reacts instantly. KONI Frequency Selective Dampening comes standard. But the real magic happens with the available Dual-Stage Valve Suspension. It reads your driving intentions and adjusts accordingly.
Dodge Hornet Interior
Starting with space utilization, you get 27 cubic feet of cargo room that expands dramatically with the 60/40 split rear seats. Rear passengers enjoy surprising space with 38 inches of legroom, while front occupants have 41.7 inches.
Base models offer attractive cloth/leatherette combinations. But the real treat comes with available leather appointments featuring 12-way power adjustment. The wide cross-car instrument panel creates an airy feel. The center console's push-button start adds drama to every departure. Dual-zone automatic temperature control keeps things comfy. Plus, it comes with available heated seats and steering wheel.
Dodge Hornet Exterior
One glance at the Hornet's aggressive stance and bold design tells you this isn't your typical soccer-mom mobile. The adaptive LED headlights pierce the darkness, while LED taillamps leave a lasting impression in your wake.
The Track Pack's exclusive 20-inch Abyss Finish wheels fill the wheel wells perfectly and scream performance intent. From the subtle sophistication of Blue Steele to the in-your-face attitude of Hot Tamale, each color tells its own story.
The Cold Weather Package adds a remote starter to get your Hornet warm before you leave home, and heated mirrors stay clear in any weather. The available power sunroof with wind deflector is also worth mentioning.
Dodge Hornet Technology
The Hornet brings connectivity and convenience features that make every journey more enjoyable. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean your phone pairs automatically. The R/T models get exclusive Hybrid Electric Pages where you can monitor energy flow, set charging schedules, and track your environmental impact in real time.

Dodge Hornet Safety
With great power comes great responsibility. Dodge has equipped the Hornet with an arsenal of advanced safety features to keep you confident at any speed. The Tech Pack exclusive equips you with Drowsy Driver Detection. The 360-degree Surround View Camera eliminates blind spots. And front and rear sensors provide audible guidance.
