5 reasons to buy the 2024 Dodge Hornet
1. Hybrid power option
Pick the 2024 Hornet in its R/T iteration to get a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Delivering 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, the turbocharged 1.3L four-cylinder gas engine, paired with an 89 kW battery and onboard electric motor, can make an impressive impact on your everyday errands and regular routes. When fully charged, you’ll get an EPA-estimated 33 miles of electric-only range before your gas power kicks in.
2. Iconic style
If you love the athletic design features Dodge does so well, you’ll love the signature style of the 2024 Hornet. Head-turning exterior style accents include a hood fascia with integrated heat extractors, a slot-style upper grille opening, and a full-width taillight with an illuminated Dodge logo. There's even a Hornet logo badge to look out for.
3. Road trip-ready features
Packed full of standard features that you and your crew will love, the 2024 Hornet is a great choice for family road trips and group outings. For playlists and apps, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration ensure you’re hooked up to your favorite songs as soon as you set off.

4. Tons of options
Travel up the 2024 Hornet trim levels and you’ll be rewarded with even more creature comforts. The GT Plus and R/T Plus models add luxurious elements that make long commutes feel effortless. Sink into leather upholstery, enjoy the light from the sunroof, and get ready to rock out with the 14-speaker Harman Kardon® sound system. The navigation assists in your adventures upstate and cross-country, while the wireless charging pad ensures your devices are ready to go.
