The Dodge Hornet is a compact crossover SUV with a surprising flair for nimble performance and enhanced stability. The active torque vectoring system automatically redistributes power to the wheels during particularly tight turns. The KONI frequency selective damping suspension absorbs large shocks on the road. The optional dual-stage valve suspension system also reduces body roll and enhances stability.
The standard GT model is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that boasts 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive capabilities, the GT reaches 60 MPH in a mere 6.5 seconds with a total top speed of 140 MPH.
For drivers who want to save money on fuel emission, there’s also the option for a 1.3L electric motor with 288 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 MPH in 5.5 seconds with the special PowerShot mode activated. Drivers can expect around 30 miles of all-electric range before it switches back to gas.
