What's New with the 2024 Dodge Hornet?

The Hornet and Durango are the two muscle cars that Dodge still makes. Traditional muscle is a thing of the past. For 2024, Dodge will stop producing the Challenger coupe and Charger. These two performance vehicles have been around for over fifteen years. Dodge plans to release an all-electric model to replace its two muscle vehicles. But Dodge isn't willing to stand still, so for 2024, both models will receive improvements.

Suppose the Alfa Romeo Tonale has caught the attention of Elizabeth drivers. The price range is only for some. In that case, the Hornet offers almost the same experience at a significantly lower cost. The Dodge and Alfa share the same plug-in hybrid powerplant. However, the Dodge also has a 268-horsepower nonhybrid version available. Keep in mind that both powertrains come standard with all-wheel drive. 

 

Additionally, every Dodge comes with an extensive list of standard equipment. You'll get the most modern technologies, such as:

The Hornet's feisty on-road attitude sets it apart from its competitors. 

For the 2023 model year, Dodge revived the Hornet nameplate as a small SUV. A new R/T plug-in hybrid is now scheduled for release in 2024. A 1.3-liter power the front wheels with a turbocharged I-4 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. An electric motor drives the back wheels. The Hornet R/T has a 15.5-kWh lithium battery that can power it for 32 kilometers on electricity between charges. A 360-mile driving range is stated. The acceleration from 0 to 60 mph takes 7.1 seconds. However, with the PowerShot option, that time drops to 5.6 seconds. The PowerShot button functions similarly to the IndyCar push-to-pass mechanism.

 

Additional adjustments are made to the entire Hornet lineup. Standard equipment on Hornet R/T Plus and GT Plus models is a hands-free power liftgate. Furthermore, Dodge's Tech Pack option package now incorporates parallel and perpendicular parking capabilities.

Like the Tonale, the Hornet's cabin is roomy enough for front-seat passengers. The infotainment system and main controls are angled slightly toward the driver. The long shift lever for the automatic transmission is on the center console, echoing the interior of the Tonale. 

 

The Hornet's steering wheel is identical to that of the Alfa Romeo. Still, it has a Dodge emblem in the middle and an integrated ignition switch under the left spoke. Standard upholstery is black with red stitching. The GT Plus trim is leather; those who select the extra Track package receive faux suede. Additionally available is a red leather inside option.

Newark residents may ask, "Why Choose The Dodge Hornet?” It looks new, is agile, and offers an intriguing range of powertrain options. The Dodge Hornet, the brand's most unique and smallest crossover SUV, revives a classic nameplate. The 2024 Hornet, which shares a chassis with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, competes with cars like the Chevy Trax, Hyundai Kona, and Kia Seltos.
