Dodge Hornet Engine Options
There's been an increasing buzz of activity across Dodge's social media channels leading up to the release of the brand's new marketing campaign, "Swarming the Nation," officially introducing the all-new Dodge Hornet. This is the first ever electrified performance vehicle to enter the market, the all-new Dodge Hornet signals that a new breed of electrified performance is here, and it is here to change the game. The all-new Hornet delivers best-in-class performance from two models in a multi-energy roster, each featuring a dedicated powertrain and standard all-wheel drive.
The Power of the Dodge Hornet GT
The entry-level Dodge Hornet GT is powered by the Hurricane4 engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder with direct fuel injection and engine stop-start technology, providing iconic dynamic performance to the tune of 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque for an impressive combination of low emissions. The engine is mated to a fully electronic nine-speed transmission. Like the R/T, the GT also features a Sport Mode, easily reachable by a dedicated button on the steering wheel, that unlocks a sharper throttle, optimized shift schedule, access to full power and torque and a tighter steering wheel feel, and a stiffer suspension setting if equipped with Dual Stage Valve shocks, helping the GT move from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
Electrified Performance of the Dodge Hornet R/T
The Dodge Hornet R/T is the brand's first electrified performance vehicle, achieving a segment-leading 288 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. The R/T features a 1.3-liter turbocharged all-aluminum engine, which includes exclusive third generation MultiAir technology that improves combustion efficiency by adjusting valve lift and timing. Place your R/T in Sport Mode and unlock a sharper throttle, optimized shift schedule, access to the hybrid system's optimized power and torque, and a tighter steering wheel feel.
What is Dodge's PowerShot
The Hornet R/T holds extra "sting" in reserve, ready to be unleashed through a class exclusive PowerShot that features an extra boost of 30 more horsepower and delivers instant torque. PowerShot shaves 1.5 seconds off normal 0 to 60 mph times by increasing horsepower and acceleration using bursts of extra power deployed by the battery and electric motor. It also provides 15 seconds of extra horsepower and can be repeated after a 15-second cool-down period. When activated, a PowerShot symbol in the instrument cluster offers real-time feedback to the driver.
Customize Your Performance
Drivers also can customize the Hornet R/T performance hybrid to fit their driving needs best. Operated by a dedicated button on the steering wheel, available driving modes include Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save modes. Hybrid Mode provides maximum combined efficiency of the conventional engine and e-Motor, minimizing fuel consumption by setting electric priority until a minimum battery level is met. Electric Mode delivers zero-emission and automatically switches to hybrid when the battery is depleted or when extra power is requested by driver pedal kick-down. Finally, e-Save Mode prioritizes the conventional engine to preserve battery charge, with a Passive option to maintain the charge and an Active option to help recharge the battery.
