It's not often that the renowned Dodge brand introduces an all-new addition to their stellar lineup, so when they do, we pay attention. Right now, there's a new small SUV joining the collection in the form of the stunning and eye-catching 2023 Dodge Hornet and it has all of our attention here at Erwin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
Taking its place as the smallest SUV in the Dodge lineup, the new Hornet is a five-passenger model that has four doors and two rows of seats. Behind the backseats, drivers will find a versatile and spacious amount of cargo space, with up to 27 cubic feet available, depending on the trim level and model you're looking at.
While the new Dodge Hornet turns heads for its great SUV styling, it's what's under the hood that will really hook Springfield, OH and Greenville, OH drivers here. In true Dodge fashion, this little SUV packs a serious, muscular punch with the highest output gas engine in its subcompact class and, best of all, the availability of a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Kicking things off for this new SUV, Dodge makes the Hornet available in two well-equipped and exciting trim levels, including:

The standard engine produces 268 horsepower, thanks to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine also has 295 pound-feet of torque, getting from 0 mph to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds, and making it the fastest small SUV in this segment.
Delivering the signature Dodge power and style that generations of drivers have come to love, but with a groundbreaking, fuel-efficient hybrid engine, the plug-in hybrid gets its power from a 288-horsepower, turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine instead. It also has 383 pound-feet of torque and, as a plug-in hybrid, it can travel up to 30 miles of electric-only driving before switching over to conventional hybrid functionality.
