Dodge is taking a historic step on the brand’s century-plus journey to pure performance, introducing the all-new Dodge Hornet, the brand’s first-ever electrified performance vehicle. The 2024 Dodge Hornet disrupts the fast-growing compact utility vehicle (CUV) segment, building buzz with a distinctive Dodge combination of muscular styling wrapped around best-in-class standard performance from a multi-energy powertrain roster and a swarm of class-exclusive performance features.

The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T performance hybrid — the first-ever electrified performance vehicle from Dodge — opens a “gateway” for enthusiasts to enter the Dodge Brotherhood of Muscle. The Dodge Hornet R/T delivers the most powerful utility vehicle in the segment with 288 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, offering 32 miles of all-electric range via a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery, as well as 77 MPGe and 360 miles of total range.

The Dodge Hornet GT is the industry’s fastest and most powerful gas-powered compact utility vehicle. Fueled by the Hurricane4 engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four cylinder, the GT boasts the segment’s most powerful gas engine at 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque.

The “Head of Hive” 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T carries extra sting with a class-exclusive, on-demand PowerShot feature that supplies a burst of 30 horsepower, reaching 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, while the Dodge Hornet GT reaches 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds in Sport Mode.

With additional best-in-class and class-exclusive dynamic driving features such as Koni shocks, Brembo four-piston brake calipers, dynamic torque vectoring and more, as well as standard all-wheel drive for both the R/T and GT, the 2024 Dodge Hornet is designed for performance lovers seeking a CUV that drives like a Dodge, looks like a Dodge and sounds like a Dodge.
