House Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Nov 7, 2025

We’re familiar with family-friendly SUVs: a vehicle that seamlessly blends function and comfort with a sprinkle of quality safety features to haul our most precious cargo.

The Dodge Hornet is a crossover utility vehicle (CUV), a new breed of vehicle that blends all the features we love about the SUV with the fuel efficiency and comfort we’ve come to appreciate in a sedan.

So what awaits us in the most powerful CUV on the market? Keep reading to find out!

What Does it Mean to Be the Most Powerful CUV?


Being named the most powerful CUV in its segment gives the new Hornet a lot to live up to, but it’s up for the challenge.

With two choices of powertrains, each holds its own in terms of power and performance. The Dodge Hornet R/T takes the top marks in reactive speed, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds, while the GT serves as the fastest CUV, reaching a top speed of an incredible 140 mph.

What makes the Hornet R/T reach that speed in such a short amount of time? We can thank the 2.4-liter T4 PHEV engine for that. Producing 383 lb.-ft of torque and a powerful 288 horsepower with electric all-wheel drive, this performance engine brings thrills with every ride.

While the R/T may be the quickest, the GT is the fastest, and it’s no surprise when it’s powered by an engine with “Hurricane” in its name.

The 2.0-liter Hurricane 4 Turbo engine produces 268 horsepower and up to 295 lb-ft. of torque, making this ride fast and fun.

Spacious, Comfortable, and Sleek: The Dodge Hornet Interior

As a performance-driven CUV, the Hornet needs to be bold, both under the hood and inside the cabin.

Upon first look, you’ll quickly notice the all-black interior with red accent stitching, providing the Hornet with a timeless look that demands a bit of attitude and attention.

Luxury features take precedence inside the cabin, with available Alcantara eight-way front and passenger seats with three heating levels, along with a power sunroof and power liftgate for added convenience.

Other notable interior features include:

  • 60/40 split-folding rear seats
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon Premium audio system with subwoofer
  • Wireless charger
  • Multiple Type A-C USB ports
  • Push-button start
