What's New With the 2024 Dodge Hornet Specs?
The Dodge Hornet has already put other compact SUVs on notice with its powerful debut for the 2023 model year. For 2024, a new plug-in hybrid powertrain is added to the engine lineup, generating even greater performance than this SUV model's turbocharged base engine.
Before we delve into the new Dodge Hornet plug-in hybrid model and its high-powered performance and impressive range, let's look at the general performance capabilities of this compact SUV lineup, starting with the drivetrain.
Explore Dodge Hornet Performance Capabilities
Every edition of the new 2024 Dodge Hornet performance SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD), ensuring this agile sport-ute has the grip to conquer corners or any road and weather conditions it faces.
The Dodge AWD system found on every 2024 Hornet SUV is highly advanced and features torque-vectoring technology to aid its cornering capabilities, steering feel, and traction, whether during spirited driving sessions or adverse weather conditions.
The new Dodge Hornet PHEV models get eAWD with torque vectoring instead of the standard AWD system.
Dodge Hornet Engine Specs
The 2024 Dodge Hornet engine specs vary depending on the selected powertrain. This performance SUV's base engine, a 2.0-liter Hurricane4 turbo engine, returns from the 2023 model year. It generates up to 295 pound-feet of torque and 268 horsepower and has a 0-60 mph run of 6.5 seconds, far outpowering your average compact SUV's standard engine specs and performance.
While other compact SUVs reserve their powerful engine for higher trim levels or high-performance variants, the 2024 Dodge Hornet comes standard with a high-powered engine right out of the gate.
The new engine option for the 2024 Dodge Hornet is a plug-in hybrid powertrain featuring a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor. The advanced Dodge plug-in hybrid technology seamlessly switches between full-electric and gas consumption, offering the benefits of both systems.
When equipped with the PHEV powertrain, the 2024 Dodge Hornet specs enable this SUV to provide up to an EPA-estimated 32-mile all-electric driving range1 and an EPA-estimated 360-mile total driving range.2
Select the new 1.3-liter turbo plug-in hybrid setup and experience up to 288 horsepower, 383 pound-feet of torque, and a swift 0-60 mph time of just 5.6 seconds. With more power than the standard 2.0-liter turbo, the new Dodge Hornet PHEV powertrain proves that a hybrid can be a blast to drive.
Dodge Hornet MPG Ratings
The 2024 Dodge Hornet gas mileage impresses, too, thanks to the advanced turbocharged engines and available plug-in hybrid technology on offer in this agile compact SUV. The 2024 Dodge Hornet equipped with the Hurricane4 turbo engine, a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, and nine-speed automatic transmission returns up to an EPA-estimated 21/29 MPG (City/Highway)3 rating.
The Dodge Hornet 2.0-liter turbo engine is coupled with a 13.5-gallon fuel tank, and premium unleaded gas is recommended for maximum performance. All-wheel drive comes standard, as does an efficiency-enhancing nine-speed automatic transmission.
The Dodge brand has yet to publish estimated MPG ratings for the 2024 Dodge Hornet PHEV variant. Still, its advanced gas-electric engine setup is paired with an 11.2-gallon gas tank, with premium unleaded fuel recommended.
Unlike the 2.0-liter turbo engine, the 1.3-liter turbo plug-in hybrid is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission, with eAWD and torque vectoring standard. With its EPA-estimated all-electric driving range of up to 32 miles,1 you can enjoy instant torque, limited gas-free driving, and even a gas-free commute when you plug in and charge up overnight.
