The 2025 Dodge Hornet is set to inject some exhilarating energy into the Dodge brand. It’s an unexpected twist that the first new Dodge in a decade hails from Italy, sharing its mechanical roots with the Alfa Romeo Tonale. This subcompact SUV brings a refreshing vigor to Dodge’s lineup, especially as the brand gears up for an electrified future.
The 2025 Dodge Hornet will enter its third year of production, likely featuring mild styling updates such as slight tweaks to the front end and new headlights. However, its sleek shape, comparable to rivals like the Ford Escape and Mazda CX-30, remains a standout and doesn’t need a drastic overhaul. Performance-wise, the Hornet is a well-oiled machine.
The GT trim’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 268 horsepower, rocketing from zero to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. For even more thrill, the R/T trim can achieve the same in 5.6 seconds using the PowerShot feature, which adds short bursts of 30 horsepower from its electric motor combo and allows up to 33 miles of battery-only travel.
Expect high-tech upgrades, like adaptive cruise control and optional software-enabled power boosts, reminiscent of Dodge’s famous Scat Pack upgrades. Ready to experience the future of performance? Visit Nelson Chrysler today to learn more about this upcoming vehicle!
