Our Research Hub is here to help you make the smartest decision for your next vehicle purchase. This guide dives deep into why the 2025 Dodge Hornet might just be the perfect blend choice for you.
2025 Dodge Hornet Performance & Specs
When Dodge says "fastest" and "most powerful," they have the numbers to back it up. The GT model comes with a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo engine. It produces 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful compact SUV in the segment. The R/T takes things to another level with its 1.3L plug-in hybrid system. This one delivers a combined 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque.
The performance numbers speak for themselves. The GT hits 140 mph top speed, the fastest in its segment, while the R/T rockets from 0-60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Both models feature advanced transmissions. The GT gets a 9-speed automatic, while the R/T uses a 6-speed automatic. Both are available with aluminum column-mounted paddle shifters.
The R/T's exclusive PowerShot feature provides an additional 30 horsepower boost for up to 15 seconds when you need it most.
