2024 Dodge Hornet Hybrid Performance

Unveiling the Hornet R/T, Dodge presents the ultimate fusion of efficiency and potency within the Hornet series. Beneath the hood lies a turbocharged 1.3L inline four-cylinder engine harmoniously paired with an electric motor ingeniously positioned at the rear axle. This electric motor draws its energy from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The seamless collaboration of these two propulsion systems results in the Hornet R/T's commanding all-wheel drive prowess. While the turbocharged engine propels the front wheels, the electric motor empowers the rear wheels, resulting in exceptional all-wheel drive capabilities. Amplifying the Hornet R/T's performance, the electric power source contributes to an impressive instant torque of 184 lb-ft from a standstill, generating a total torque of 383 lb-ft, accompanied by an extraordinary 288 horsepower. Complementing this dynamic powertrain is a six-speed automatic transmission paired with steering wheel paddle shifters, providing the convenience of sequential gear control. Beyond its exceptional performance, the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T boasts remarkable efficiency, achieving an impressive 77 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and offering up to 32 miles of pure electric driving range. For extended journeys, the total driving range extends to a notable 360 miles, solidifying the Hornet R/T as a true champion in both potent performance and eco-conscious sensibilities.

While emphasizing fuel efficiency through the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the Dodge Hornet R/T, Dodge maintains an unwavering commitment to performance, harnessing the potential of electric power to the fullest extent. Beyond the immediate torque delivered by the electric motor, the Hornet R/T introduces the revolutionary PowerShot feature. This pioneering creation empowers the Hornet to access an extra surge of power precisely when drivers need it most. Engaging PowerShot is effortless. Simultaneously pull both paddle shifters and press the accelerator pedal, and the Hornet will unleash a thrilling fifteen-second burst of an additional 25 horsepower, further elevating its performance capabilities. The activation of PowerShot is accompanied by a prominent indicator light on the instrument panel, ensuring drivers are well-informed of its engagement. The utilization of the PowerShot feature significantly slashes the Hornet's 0-60 time by an impressive full second, bringing it to an exhilarating 5.6 seconds! The icing on the cake? Drivers can employ it as frequently as desired, with a convenient fifteen-second cooldown period between each activation.

Similar to other PHEVs, the Hornet R/T provides drivers with the flexibility to tailor power utilization to their specific preferences through its adaptable drive modes: Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save. In its default Hybrid mode, the Hornet R/T seamlessly melds the capabilities of both gas and electric power. The turbocharged engine engages solely when additional power is required, responding to the driver's input on the gas pedal. Transitioning to Electric mode results in the complete deactivation of the turbocharged engine, allowing for a quiet and emissions-free driving encounter for distances exceeding 30 miles. The E-Save mode empowers users to conserve electric power for future application. This mode offers two choices: Passive mode, which securely stores the battery's charge for upcoming necessities, and Active mode, wherein the battery is recharged using regenerative braking. With these dynamic drive modes at the helm, the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T places control squarely in the hands of the driver, facilitating a finely tuned and individualized driving experience that caters to a diverse array of demands.
