The Hornet will offer the brand's first plug-in hybrid and have standard all-wheel drive.
DETROIT — Dodge is working to stand out in the compact crossover segment with the Hornet, a peppy newcomer infused with the brand's performance DNA and aggressive styling.
The conventional GT trim employs the Hurricane 4 engine, a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline four-cylinder design that Dodge says will be the segment's most powerful gasoline engine with at least 265 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. Dodge is billing the Hornet GT as the industry's"quickest, fastest, most powerful utility vehicle under C$40,000."
But Kuniskis admits that Dodge's positioning of the Hornet as the speedy entry doesn't necessarily align with the top reasons consumers buy compact crossovers. The Hornet debuted Tuesday, the second day of product announcements at Dodge's Speed Week at M1 Concourse in suburban Detroit that will shed light on the brand's future. Also on Tuesday, Dodge unveiled the GT GLH concept, a model loaded with Direct Connection performance parts.
