Gas-powered Option

Being touted as the industry’s quickest, fastest and most powerful utility vehicle available for less than $30,000, the Dodge Hornet GT – which will be the name of the gas-powered version of the vehicle – promises performance. Beneath its hood rests a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine capable of generating more than 265 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful engine in its segment. It can also manage to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds in Sport Mode.

Perhaps even more exciting for a lot of shoppers looking to make the move to the electrified future of the industry, the Dodge Hornet R/T is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle capable of generating 285 hp and 383 lb-ft. of torque, more than the conventional powertrain. While this is the Dodge brand’s first foray into electrification, it already shows what the brand is capable of in the space, and we cannot wait to feel it accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds with its PowerShot feature, which adds 25 extra horsepower.
