Reserve Your New Dodge Hornet at River Oaks CDJR

The latest small SUV from Dodge is the new Dodge Hornet that will soon arrive at Napleton's River Oaks Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram. This small SUV will be available in two trim levels beginning with the Hornet R/T and the Hornet GT.

Each version of the new Dodge Hornet features an exclusive powertrain and standard all-wheel drive. The base Hornet GT is powered by a turbocharged 268 horsepower inline four-cylinder engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. The more powerful of the two, the 285 horsepower Hornet R/T PHEV features a hybrid 1.3-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor-generator. It sends power to the pavement via a six-speed automatic transmission. This combo is good for up to 30 electric miles of charge before reverting to gasoline power.

In PHEV form, the powertrain can temporarily provide a 25-hp boost through Dodge's PowerShot mode. Tug both paddle shift levers, to see the Hornet R/T sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.

As equipped, The Hornet R/T PHEV will be Dodge's first hybrid vehicle. Besides the PHEV system, it will include automated driver assists, digital driver display, emergency braking and the award-winning Uconnect 5 infotainment system. But wait, there's more: The Hornet includes a pedestrian and cyclist detection system. This helps reveal people and animals at night on a dark road.

The new Dodge Hornet: how does it look?

Smaller than its big brother Dodge Durango, the Hornet faces a wide variety of competitors. Still, it's up to the task. It begins with sleek lines and a strong grille. That leads up to a sculpted and scooped hood, elegant, stylized running lights and broad shoulders. They lead to the rear and wrap around to form a perfect return from the tailgate.

Inside the Hornet.

The new Dodge Hornet will feature roomy front seats and a comfortable rear bench seat. That's five passengers by our calculations. But enough about the other guys. The driver-centric dashboard features gauges and an infotainment system that keeps you fully informed of the performance of your Hornet.

Hop inside, and it's just a quick press of the steering wheel-mounted ignition button to fire the engine to life. A look around the red-accented, black upholstered interior shows a modern look at European-inspired style. Order the GT Plus or R/T Plus trim levels and you'll find yourself sitting on leather seating. The Hornet is even available with a Track package with ultrasuede trim, but if it strikes your fancy, there's an available red leather interior, too.

Get yours, soon!

Dodge Hornet deliveries will occur in two stages: The Hornet GT arrives first at the end of 2022. The Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV arrives in Spring 2023. But our Dodge Hornet specialists at Napleton River Oaks CDJR are ready with more information today.
