Getting to Know the 2025 Dodge Hornet: Compact Performance Unleashed

With every trim configuration of the 2025 Dodge Hornet delivering a class-leading performance, deciding which one best suits your lifestyle isn’t easy. We dive into the details of the four Hornet models to help make that decision a little easier.

Trim Levels of the 2025 Dodge Hornet

1. GT

First is the GT, a Hornet that comes top of its class for speed. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane, Dodge’s base trim cranks out 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and has a max track speed of 140 mph. The Hurricane is mated with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission, making the GT a very capable CUV, capable of towing a 2,000-pound trailer.

Design Highlights

With its unique hornet nest-inspired black-gloss grille, hood scoops, and silver 17-inch aluminum wheels, the Hornet makes a bold statement. LED headlamps provide bright illumination, and daytime running lamps ensure you’re always seen by other road users.

The upmarket interior is lined in plush leatherette. Drivers receive a leather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel and a six-way adjustable seat, allowing them to configure the cockpit to their stature. Infotainment is delivered by a 10.2-inch touchscreen with smartphone compatibility.

2. GT Plus

The GT Plus builds on the GT with a more luxurious interior. A power sunroof bathes the leather-lined cabin in natural light. Front passengers enjoy upgraded power seats that are heated, ventilated, and 12-way adjustable. Navigation is now integrated into the infotainment system.

3. R/T

Although the R/T may not hit the dizzying speed of the GT, it outperforms its brethren in terms of acceleration. The R/T introduces a 1.4-liter hybrid engine, which kicks up the torque to a whopping 383 pound-feet, resulting in a 0 to 60 time of just 5.6 seconds. If that’s not enough, Dodge equips the R/T with PowerShot, a launch control feature that provides a quick boost of 30 horsepower, pushing the total output to 288 ponies.

In addition to being the quickest CUV in the segment, the R/T also delivers superb efficiency. Its all-electric range of 32 miles is perfect for doing the school run or running local errands without having to visit the gas station. Drivers can manage power usage with three new drive modes: Gas, Electric, and Hybrid.

4. R/T Plus

Blending the hybrid power of the R/T with the premium features of the GT Plus, the R/T Plus is the most luxurious and high-performing Hornet of all. To top it off, Dodge’s top trim also gains 18-inch gray aluminum wheels for a more sporty look.
