    2023 Model Redesign Year
    The Dodge Hornet shares components with the new Alfa Romeo Tonale, itself based on the mediocre Jeep Compass. The GT is powered by a 268-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine coupled to a nine-speed automatic and comes with standard all-wheel drive. The engine packs a healthy midrange punch, but power delivery is not linear, and fuel economy is an unimpressive 23 mpg. This small SUV rides stiffly and is loud. Handling is sound but unexceptional. The driving position is compromised because of a stretched arms, bent knees posture.
    Controls are mostly user-friendly, thanks to Stellantis' UConnect infotainment system. 2024 brings an R/T trim that features a 288-hp, 1.3-liter plug-in hybrid, which is the same powertrain that is used in the Tonale. For 2025, paddle shifters became available on the GT and GT Plus trims as part of the Track Pack option.

    2023-Present

    2023 Model Redesign Year
    Fitting with the brand's muscle car image, Dodge is positioning the small Hornet as a performance-oriented sporty compact SUV. It shares components with the new Alfa Romeo Tonale, itself based on the Jeep Compass. The base GT packs a 268-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with a nine-speed automatic. The 2024 added R/T plug-in hybrid nets 288-hp combined, powered by a 1.3-liter turbo four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic that works in conjunction with its electric drive. It has a 32-mile electric-only range before transitioning to regular hybrid operation. Both versions have standard AWD. AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.
    For 2025, paddle shifters became available on the GT and GT Plus trims as part of the Track Pack option.
