2023 Dodge Hornet Pittsburgh PA

2023 Dodge Hornet at Three Rivers

As you're probably already aware, the Dodge brand is known for its outstanding performance vehicles that push the envelope on both speed and style! For the 2023 model year, Dodge is taking its lineup one step further with the introduction of the all-new Hornet, which is a compact utility vehicle, or CUV, that features a silhouette we've never seen before from the Dodge brand. Not only that, but the Hornet is also debuting not one but two new engine options for the two trim levels in the 2023 lineup. This is significant because it signifies Dodge's commitment to sustainability by embracing new forms of energy, including a plug-in hybrid powertrain for the R/T trim, and a new fuel-efficient Hurricane engine for the GT trim. Keep reading down below as we go in-depth about the various features of the 2023 Dodge Hornet!

WELCOME TO THE HORNET'S NEST

R/T PERFORMANCE

Combining the benefits of internal combustion with the immediate power of electrification, the Dodge Hornet is the most powerful Compact Utility Vehicle in its segment. With its Plug-in Hybrid architecture, the Hornet R/T combines the power of its 1.3L Turbo engine, with its electric motor and the Segment-Exclusive PowerShot
 to unlock an extra 25 electric horsepower—delivering an estimated 285 combined horsepower and 383 pound-feet of total torque—and shaving 1 second off its own 0-60 mph launch time.

GT PERFORMANCE

The 2023 Hornet GT hits the streets for the first time with a crown already on its head. Enable Sport Mode right on the steering wheel button and uncover why the Hornet earned Best-in-Class power to weight ratio.

DESIGN

MUSCLE TAKES ITS NEWEST FORM

The 2023 Dodge Hornet combines its utility with aggressive looks, merging iconic American muscle with new tech. 

JOIN THE SWARM

From 20-inch rims included with the available Track Pack, to dual exhaust tips and Dodge-branded Brembo brake calipers on the Hornet R/T, to your choice of seven bold and distinct colors, the Hornet brings all aspects of muscle to a whole new breed of vehicles.

INTERIOR

PERFORMANCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The driver-centric interior gives you all the tools needed to maximize your experience on the road. Settle into the available race-inspired Alcantara® seats, grab the available steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and watch your speed increase on the 12.3-inch Digital Cluster Display. 

FIND OUT WHAT YOU'RE MISSING

To take it further, access the iconic Dodge Performance Pages from the 10.25-inch touchscreen to keep track of anything from G-force to temperature gauges.

TECHNOLOGY

CUTTING-EDGE

When it comes to tech, there's plenty to uncover in the Dodge Hornet. Available features like Semi-Automatic Parking, a 360° Surround View Camera, a Power Liftgate, a Best-in-Class available 13-Speaker+Subwoofer Harman Kardon® Sound System and plenty more, all combine to deliver the ultimate experience on the road.

DEFENSIVE JACKET

The Hornet comes loaded with standard safety and security features across all trim levels, including Automatic Emergency BRaking, Lane Support Warning when straying from your lane, and Automatic Counter Steering.

What are the Hornet's New Engine Options?

As we mentioned above, the 2023 Dodge Hornet is really demonstrating its innovation when it comes to powertrain options. There are two all-new engines joining the Dodge family, one for the R/T, and the other for the GT. No matter which trim level you choose, you'll be treated to one of these new and innovative engines, both of which work to make your Dodge more fuel-efficient. Starting with the R/T, you'll find a new plug-in hybrid powertrain that features a 15.5-kWh battery to help power the vehicle. This powertrain can carry the Hornet up to 30 miles on a single charge, letting you enjoy emissions-free range for those shorter trips. The hybrid powertrain delivers up to 285 horsepower, and 383 lb-ft of torque. Next, the GT features another new engine, the 2.0-liter turbocharged Hurricane inline-4. This engine also offers enhanced fuel efficiency, as well as 265 horsepower, and 295 lb-ft of torque. 

What are the Design Features of the 2023 Dodge Hornet?

As we mentioned above, the 2023 Dodge Hornet can be described as a compact utility vehicle, or CUV. This means that it's more robust than a sedan, and a bit larger than the Charger, but still more compact than an SUV, and smaller than the Durango. However, the Hornet still includes many of the classic Dodge features you know and love, offering bold color options, racing stripes, and a mail-slot front grille opening complete with the Dodge logo above it. Both the GT and R/T trims offer a 10.25-inch digital cluster display with Performance Pages, as well as black upholstery with sporty red accent stitching. You can also opt for available features like Alcantara suede interior, and bold red seatbelts. The Hornet offers an available Track Pack package, with aluminum accents and 20-inch wheels, as well as a Blacktop package with sleek black accents. 

What Performance Features does the Dodge Hornet Have?

Just like all Dodge models, the highlight of the 2023 Dodge Hornet is its incredible performance features! You can enjoy features that enhance both the appearance and performance of the Hornet, including Brembo high-performance brakes, complete with the iconic red brake calipers, dual exhaust tips, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel accompanied by paddle shifters for that authentic racing feel. There's also an available PowerShot button, which will instantly kick out a boost of horsepower, so you can get the ultimate thrill as you charge ahead on the open road! Lastly, the R/T offers three different drive modes to accompany its hybrid powertrain. This means you can choose whether you'd like to use your gas power, the battery power, or both simultaneously!
