6 Exciting Features of the 2025 Dodge Hornet

When the pedal hits the metal, how hard does your crossover go? If you're sitting behind the wheel of the 2025 Dodge Hornet, the answer is, "harder than the competition." Here are just a few of the reasons the Hornet stands out from the pack. 6 Exciting Features of the 2025 Dodge Hornet 1. The Fastest CUV in the Segment It's official: the 2025 Hornet GT offers the highest top speed in its class. Its mighty, turbocharged Hurricane4 engine displaces two full liters of fury and kicks out enough power to leave the competition in the dust. With 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque at your command, you'll give the competition plenty of glimpses of your taillights as you hurtle around the track at up to 140 miles an hour. more 2. The Most Powerful Powertrain on the Market The Hornet R/T's mighty PHEV powertrain is the beefiest of any CUV. The system pumps out a grin-inducing 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. That makes it an absolute blast to gun it from a green light, hurtling up to 60 miles per hour in just 5.6 seconds, the quickest time in its segment. 3. Class-Exclusive PowerShot When you need more power, the Hornet R/T delivers. Engage the class-exclusive PowerShot feature, and the Hornet R/T will add up to 30 horsepower for up to 15 seconds, giving you that crucial edge against the competition. It's perfect for passing the slowpokes in cars that just can't keep up, or for accelerating out of a hard turn and onto a nice clean straightaway. 4. Exquisite Balance and Tight Handling The 2025 Hornet offers precisely engineered near-50/50 balance between the front and back wheels, making tight performance almost inevitable. Add in standard AWD for GT trims or eAWD for R/T trims, and the Hornet's grip on the road increases even in foul weather. Standard torque vectoring also helps maintain clean lines in curves by properly distributing torque to the inside or outside wheels as needed. 5. Brake-by-Wire When it comes to maximizing performance, how well you brake is just as important as how hard you accelerate. That's why the 2025 Hornet R/T is equipped with state of the art brake-by-wire capability, which helps equalize brakeforce distribution across all four wheels to maintain maximum braking efficiency and effectiveness and bring the Hornet to a stop even under adverse conditions. 6. A PHEV with Serious Range The Hornet R/T offers up to 32 miles of all-electric range on a single charge, making it one of the most eco-friendly ways to get all your daily driving needs met. Combine electric power and gasoline might, and the Hornet R/T can travel up to an EPA-estimated 360 miles without charging up or filling up. That makes it the perfect choice for both trips around town and classic, long-haul road trips. Ready to test drive real power?
