Driving Is Awesome Again in the 2024 Dodge Hornet Near Texarkana

Performance

The new Dodge Hornet is one of the most exciting options available in the mainline North American SUV market. Two engine options include a gas-only version and a plug-in hybrid. Both deliver lots of power, and all variants come with an all-wheel drive and sport-tune shock absorbers.

The 2.0-liter gas engine hits 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, making it a mighty SUV for the compact class. It also can tow up to 2,000 pounds. With up to 29 miles per gallon in highway fuel economy, the gas-only Hornet is appropriately efficient despite being a mighty compact.

Even more horsepower is available with the hybrid. It uses a 1.3-liter engine as a generator. The all-electric powertrain produces an even more impressive 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It manages an impressive 77 Miles per gallon equivalent when operating in electric-only mode. That number is still solid in gas-only mode, hitting 29 miles per gallon.

Thanks to the plug-in charging design, many motorists can do all their daily driving without touching an ounce of gas near Queen City.

Exterior

The Hornet wouldn't be a Dodge without an aggressive exterior. The front end is strongly influenced by sports cars. It has angular and deep corner covers, a big air dam, a narrow grille, and arrow-shaped headlamps. Its profile is aerodynamic with slightly sportback styling. The narrow dark cladding along wheel wells and bottom panels adds to the sporty vibe. You can order the Dodge Hornet in one of seven body paint colors, and all versions have black-painted wheels for a stylish look.

Interior

The Hornet's interior takes the sporty experience to the next level. Bucket-style seats, silver accents, and a cockpit-style driver's experience make the Hornet feel ready for anything. A large digital instrument cluster provides a modern driving experience, and a similarly large infotainment screen takes that sense further.

The Hornet will comfortably seat up to five people. You can choose between leather seating materials or a combination of leatherette and cloth. All Hornets have dark interior color schemes, but the top trims add red accents to the dashboard and seats. The maximum cargo space for the Hornet is 27 cubic feet, but the R/T trims with the hybrid setups offer a still-roomy 22.9 cubic feet.

Technology

With the emphasis on fun and youth appeal, the Hornet isn't lacking in tech features through its Uconnect® 5 system. The setup offers phone connectivity for Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. You also get access to apps and an available Amazon Alexa voice assistant. Motorists can set the Hornet up as a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, too.

Safety

Dodge offers active driving assistance that provides help with lane centering and cornering. There is also an adaptive cruise control available. Automatic emergency braking is standard, and the Hornet offers pedestrian detection. It will also monitor blind spots and rear cross-traffic. A surround-view camera system is available, and it supports traffic sign recognition.

The 2024 Dodge Hornet comes in four trim options for shoppers to consider. They consist of:
