2023 Dodge Hornet Review

A Powerful Underhood Fit for the Mountains

Any driver in the Poconos knows that you need a hardy engine to help you traverse the steep mountain roadways. With the Dodge Hornet compact utility vehicle, you'll enjoy the combination of an internal combustion engine and a powerful motor.

Overall, this plug-in hybrid delivers the following specs:

• 285 maximum combined horsepower
• 383 lb-ft of torque

The addition of the Segment-Exclusive PowerShot feature helps to unlock an additional 25 electric horsepower to help you reach that maximum number of 285 horsepower combined.

Safety Features of the Dodge Hornet

Just because you're driving a Dodge Hornet, doesn't mean you should get stung. You're in control when your Dodge plug-in hybrid SUV comes equipped with available safety features like:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Support Warning
• Automatic Counter Steering
• Driver Attention Assist

When you're changing lanes during rush hour, your vehicle can also watch out for other cars on the road with the available Blind Spot Monitoring System. If another vehicle is identified in your side blind spots, you'll see a light in the corresponding side-view mirror.

If backing out of a parking space in a crowded lot, available Rear Cross Path Detection will sound a chime if a car is approaching from either side of your rear bumper.

Keep the Party Pumping in the Hornet

What's a drive through the scenic streets of Mount Pocono without a great playlist? In the Dodge Hornet, you'll be able to access all your favorite songs via the available 10.25-inch touchscreen display in the center stack. This display also houses the Dodge Performance Pages so you can see exactly how hard your vehicle is working.

Connect your phone via Bluetooth® to access all your music or your favorite streaming radio service. Once you identify the song you want to play next, turn up the volume on the available 13-Speaker+Subwoofer Harman Kardon® Sound System. It's a full-body experience when you listen to your favorite tracks and feel the bass pumping through your driver's seat.

Once you sync your phone and infotainment system, you'll also be able to access your phone contacts. If you receive an important call while you're on the road, you can answer it and chat without taking your hands off the wheel.
