We’re super excited about the first step towards the future of the Dodge brand, which is joining the lineup for the 2023 model year. We’ve already touched on the upcoming 2023 Dodge Hornet a couple of times here on the blog, such as its performance & driving dynamics, but today we wanted to look at an area we haven’t yet. When it comes to features and technologies in a vehicle, two of the most important areas to consumers like you are connectivity and safety, so we thought we’d highlight those aspects for you today.

By now, you might have heard about the upcoming 2023 Dodge Hornet. A couple of months ago we touched on the new compact crossover that will be joining the lineup for the 2023 model year, mostly discussing the new Dodge vehicle’s multi-energy powertrain lineup. The Dodge Hornet will be available as either the Hornet GT or Hornet R/T, the former of which is the traditional gasoline-powered engine whereas the latter is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. We touched on these powertrain options last time, but today we thought we’d focus a bit more on the two models’ performance and driving dynamics.

The Dodge brand will be undergoing some major changes over the next few years as the lineup introduces more performance utility vehicles and begins to shift towards electrification. This all seems to be kicking off with the introduction of the 2023 Dodge Hornet, a brand-new vehicle from the brand. The Hornet is a compact crossover that will be available with either the segment’s most powerful gasoline powertrain or with a plug-in hybrid electric powertrain. With release dates of December 2022 and Spring 2023 depending on the trim level, we thought we’d give you a sneak peek at its powertrain options.
