New 2023 Dodge Hornet | Compact SUV Performance

Overview
Dodge is poised to get back into the small crossover market with the 2023 Hornet. Rather than reskinning a Jeep Compass like it did with the unloved Caliber, this time around Dodge has instead settled on sharing a platform with a Stellantis-company cousin, the Alfa Romeo Tonale. A 265-hp turbocharged four-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic is the standard setup but the R/T model is a plug-in hybrid with 285 ponies and more than 30 miles of electric driving. Not only will the Hornet offer Dodge’s first hybrid powertrain it’ll also boast the most high-tech equipment in the brand’s lineup, with standard features that include a digital gauge display, Uconnect 5 infotainment software, and automated emergency braking with pedestrian-and-cyclist detection. The nonhybrid GT models are expected to go on sale by the end of 2022 with the R/T PHEV models following shortly after in early 2023.
