2024 Dodge Hornet: Complete Review

The new 2024 Dodge Hornet came to compete with Honda and Toyota. Keep reading and check out the full review of this model!

And during a day of testing in Asheville, North Carolina and on the mountain roads beyond, Dodge showed off the performance of the hornet.

From an available Track package with Brembo brakes and adaptive dampers to an on-demand overboost function in the R/T plug-in hybrid, the makers of the Charger and Challenger are convinced this is not just another compact CUV.

While Dodge has hinted at a dedicated high-performance GLH model, the Hornet will go on sale in just two mainstream trims to start.

The base GT will arrive by the time this story is published, while the R/T will hit dealers near the end of Spring 2023 as a 2024 model.

The GT, which can also mean "petrol turbo", uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, while the R/T combines a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with a pair of electric motors and an ion battery. of lithium.

Up front, the Hornet R/T uses an integrated 44-horsepower starter generator, while a beefier 121-hp drive motor sits atop the rear axle.

The rear engine is good for 184 pound-feet of torque, while the whole affair makes 288 combined horsepower and 383 lb-ft (which Dodge oddly listed as "total installed" rather than combined).

The Hornet recognizes the mode switch on the available 12.3-inch digital cluster, but once it's done, the Electric allows for more than 30 miles of range, according to Dodge.

Performance, in turn, is excellent throughout the rev range. Quick to roll up and long-legged, the Hornet GT's power feels accessible in just about every situation.

Therefore, the dodge boasts of selling the most powerful car for less than US $ 30,000, equivalent to R$155,181.
