Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and with wireless connectivity.
The breakdown sees a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster in place of physical gauges, as well as a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system running Uconnect 5. And because the Hornet is closely related to the Alfa Romeo Tonale, Dodge is claiming best-in-class body stiffness with excellent weight distribution.ĭodge is also rethinking the in-cabin experience, offering a class-leading 22.6 inches of screen real estate standard. Black calipers are standard, although a Track Package is available for both R/T and GT that adds a red paint job (and is the only way to score Brembos on the gas-only model). Giving a vehicle power without suspension and brakes to back it up is so 1968, so Dodge is also fitting all Hornet R/Ts with Koni FSD dampers, a fully independent suspension at both ends, and a Brembo braking package that includes vented discs and four-piston calipers in front.
Both Hornet models also feature dynamic torque vectoring, although whether it’s brake-based or something more advanced is unclear. Engaged, PowerShot slashes a second off the run to 60 mph. But you’ll only do that particular deed if you use PowerShot.ĭodge claims the system, activated by tugging both the wheel-mounted paddle shifters and flooring the accelerator, yields an extra 25 horsepower from the motor for up to 15 seconds and delivers immediate torque (although that’s kind of the deal with electric motors, so it’s hard to know what exactly Dodge means here – we’ll try to get to the bottom of it). Stretch the Hornet R/T’s legs and you’ll find 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, thanks to the powertrain’s combined 285 hp (213 kW) and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm). The gas-electric combo works via a six-speed automatic transmission and features an integrated starter-generator for improved low-end response. Between the two is a 15.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, which takes just 2.5 hours to recharge via a 7.4-kilowatt charging module and packs enough electrons to cover 35 miles when fully juiced. The front axle turns via a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder plucked from the Jeep Renegade/ Fiat 500X line, while a 90-kilowatt electric motor sits atop the rear axle. Perhaps the more forward-looking trim of the two is the Hornet R/T, which is only the second plug-in-hybrid to come out of Auburn Hills in a decade.
