The 2025 Dodge Hornet comes in two primary configurations: the GT and the R/T. The GT model is equipped with a robust 2.0-liter Hurricane4 turbocharged inline-four engine, delivering an impressive 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain enables the GT to achieve a top speed of 140 mph, positioning it as one of the fastest CUVs in its class.

For those interested in hybrid technology, the Hornet R/T features a plug-in hybrid system that combines a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. This setup produces a combined 288 horsepower and allows the R/T to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Additionally, the R/T offers an EPA-estimated 32 miles of all-electric range, making it suitable for both daily commutes and longer journeys.
