Trim Levels of the 2023 Dodge Hornet
What are the Dodge Hornet's New Powertrain Options?
This year, the Dodge Hornet is introducing lots of new and exciting features to the Dodge lineup. For example, there are two all-new powertrains available depending on the trim level you choose. These powertrains may be different from the Dodge engines you know and love, but you can still experience the thrill of the open road with these new options! For the Hornet's GT and GT Plus trims, you'll find the new Hurricane 4 engine, which is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that delivers 265 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The Hurricane 4 pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission, and Hornet models with this engine also feature a Sport Mode setting. The other powertrain option is a plug-in hybrid system for the R/T, which includes a 1.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, as well as a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery. With the hybrid powertrain, you can travel for up to 30 miles on the electric charge alone!
