The 2023 Dodge Hornet, the First Step in the Brand’s Move to Electric
Photo: Dodge 2023 Dodge Hornet, profile After Dodge presented its 2023 performance models earlier this week – we were introduced to the Challenger convertible edition, and the returning Durango SRT Hellcat - it was the turn of the American automaker’s first foray into electrification to step into the spotlight. It was no secret, of course, because we’ve known for some time the Hornet SUV was on the way, but here it is.
The Hornet will be offered in a plug-in hybrid configuration, but also with solely a turbocharged gasoline engine. And since it shares many of its components with Alfa Romeo's Tonale, such as the independent suspension, Koni shocks and torque vectoring all-wheel drive, that's promising in terms of handling. The plug-in hybrid model will also be equipped with Brembo four-piston front brake calipers, available with the base version of the model.
To get the electrified version, buyers will have to opt for the R/T variant, which comes with a 1.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine serving the front wheels. It works in conjunction with a 121-hp electric motor working on the rear axle. The power is managed by a 6-speed automatic transmission in this case.

The main difference lies with the hood, the Dodge signature clearly present with heat extractors. We'll let you be the judge about the success or failure of the design.
