Is the 2023 Dodge Hornet a Muscle Car or SUV? It’s Both!
Struggling with the dual nature of wanting a muscle car and something environmentally friendly? Your struggle is over! The 2023 Dodge Hornet can be customized to be as powerful or eco-friendly as you’d prefer. Read on to learn more about this impressive new SUV.
For the Muscle Car Enthusiast
The 2023 Dodge Hornet GT has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with nine-speed automatic transmission, which produces 265 horsepower. The next trim level — the 2023 Dodge Hornet GT Plus — achieves 268 horsepower from the same engine and transmission. Both have 295 lb-ft of torque.
The exterior adds to the muscle car feel with the wide flat grille, narrow eye-like LED headlamps, air extractors, and other vents reminiscent of classic cars. You can add packages to make it the SUV of your dreams. With a classic muscle car aesthetic and the truck and interior space of a Dodge SUV, it’s the best of both worlds.
For the Environmentalist
Speaking of both worlds, let’s look at the plug-in hybrid electric engine. Dodge has added a 15.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack, a 1.3-liter engine paired with a 90-kilowatt electric motor, and six-speed automatic transmission. The horsepower of this SUV is up to 285, with 383 lb-ft of torque. Even with that, this new Dodge PHEV earns an estimated 30 miles per gallon electric range.
Driving Features
Many vehicles come with different driving modes these days. Likewise, the 2023 Dodge Hornet comes with sport, hybrid, electric, and E-Save. E-Save is a feature that allows you to reserve pure electric mode for later use. Another aspect of this vehicle is the PowerShot, which gives a burst of 25 horsepower for those times you need it.
Superior Safety
Standard safety for the 2023 Dodge Hornet includes features like forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control. Several features, like traffic jam assist and a 360-degree camera system, are available.
