It was born to be the gateway into the “Brotherhood of Muscle“. It was designed to disrupt the segment. Meet the all-new 2023 Dodge Hornet, the brand’s first-ever performance C-UV.
With Dodge announcing that it had taken over 14,000 orders the newest and smallest Dodge in less than 12 hours on Wednesday, our e-mail has been flooded with questions regarding options and pricing since nothing can be found online.
We reached out to our dealer sources and thanks to them, can now provide you with an overlook at the packaging and pricing for the Hornet GT AWD and the Hornet GT Plus AWD. Since the R/T plug-in hybrid (PHEV) won’t be available until later, Dodge has refrained from letting dealers all the information on it. However, for those who are interested in being one of the first ones to own a new Hornet, the GT AWD and GT Plus AWD are the only available options at the moment.
Standard Features –
The Hornet GT is the industry’s quickest, fastest, and most powerful UV with a starting U.S. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) under $30,000.
That gets you a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder with 268 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, a ZF-sourced 9-speed automatic transmission, a 0 to 60 mph time of 6.5 seconds, performance handling with standard all-wheel-drive (AWD), and a KONI® Frequency Selective Damping or available Dual-Stage Valve (DSV) suspension, and 4-piston Brembo® brake calipers.
As far as the exterior, the Hornet GT AWD comes standard with 17-inch aluminum wheels (18-inch and 20-inch wheels are available), full-LED headlights and taillights with Dodge signature lighting, and available sunroof and a power liftgate, as well as body-color door handles, rear spoiler, and power-folding mirrors.
Inside, there is a driver-centric, all-Black interior with 22.5-inches of combined displays including a 10.25-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen radio and 12.3-inch configurable instrument cluster, SiriusXM® Radio (6-month trial) with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 6-speed sound system or available Harman Kardon® premium sound, standard cloth/leatherette seats or available leather or Alcantara® seats, and dual-zone automatic HVAC.
