ELECTRIFYING, AGGRESSIVE, TRACK-EQUIPPED, NO-ACCIDENT, ONE-OWNER, OFF-LEASE, NONSMOKER, DODGE'S BOLDEST HYBRID YET! The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T Plus announced Dodge's arrival in the electrification era in typically theatrical fashion -- a compact performance SUV that pairs a turbocharged engine with genuine electric muscle. This example, finished in 8 Ball with just over 10,400 miles, presents as a clean, well-kept Hornet ready for its next owner. Its EAWD system is unlike anything else in the segment: the turbocharged four-cylinder drives the front wheels while a dedicated electric motor works independently at the rear, giving this Hornet genuine all-wheel-drive security whenever it's needed, along with the ability to run on electric power alone around town. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The Hornet occupies a genuinely unusual spot in the market: a subcompact crossover built on an Italian-engineered platform, shared with the Alfa Romeo Tonale, but tuned with Dodge's unmistakable performance attitude. Shoppers cross-shopping this segment quickly notice that nothing else combines a plug-in hybrid powertrain with genuine straight-line performance quite the way the Hornet R/T does. Beyond the numbers, the Hornet appeals to buyers who want flexibility without compromise: enough electric-only range for a typical commute, a gas engine for longer trips without any range anxiety, and enough performance credibility that it never feels like a consolation-prize hybrid. Dodge's engineering team backed that reputation up with real industry recognition for the powertrain itself. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Industry recognition for the Hornet R/T centered squarely on what makes it different: its innovative plug-in hybrid powertrain. WardsAuto's editors, who evaluate dozens of propulsion systems across the industry each year, singled out the Hornet R/T's combination of a turbocharged engine and independent rear electric motor as one of the year's best, praising its ability to feel effortless in everyday driving and genuinely thrilling when pushed. 2023 Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems Award Warranty The odometer is hovering around the 10,456-mile mark, and this Hornet is STILL COVERED by the factory.

Standard Features Stepping up to R/T Plus adds a genuine layer of daily-driver comfort on top of the R/T's performance credentials. Leather seating replaces the standard cloth, heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel keep things comfortable year-round, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers noticeably richer sound than the base setup. A hands-free power liftgate and a panoramic sunroof round out the trim's upgrades, making this Hornet feel every bit as premium inside as its performance suggests on the road. Installed Options R/T Blacktop and Track Pack Bundle Black Alcantara Non-Vented Seats with Red Accents Grippy, motorsport-inspired upholstery with contrast accents that reinforces the R/T's performance intent every time you climb in. Dual Mode Suspension Lets the driver switch between a comfort-oriented setting for daily driving and a firmer mode that sharpens handling when the road gets twisty. 20-Inch x 8.0-Inch Abyss Finish Aluminum Wheels with 235/40R20 All-Season Tires A wider, lower-profile setup that fills out the wheel wells and sharpens this Hornet's already agile handling. Red Painted Dodge Calipers A visual signal of the upgraded braking hardware underneath, glimpsed through the wheel spokes. Gloss-Black Mirror Caps, Window Moldings, and Dark Hornet/R/T Badging Strips away the brightwork in favor of a more monochrome, menacing presence. Sporty Leather Steering Wheel, Bright Pedals, and Inox Steel Door Sills Small cockpit details that reinforce the cabin's performance character every time the driver gets in or behind the wheel. Charging & Range This Hornet R/T Plus pairs a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery and a dedicated rear-mounted electric motor, delivering an EPA-estimated 32 miles of electric-only range before the gas engine ever needs to join in -- enough for most daily commutes to happen without burning a drop of fuel. Once the battery is depleted, the Hornet simply continues on as a strong-running hybrid, with a total driving range of roughly 360 miles between the battery and the fuel tank. A standard 120-volt outlet recharges the battery in about 7.5 hours, while a 240-volt Level 2 charger cuts that down to around 2.5 hours, making a full overnight or workday charge easy to fit into a normal routine. Mechanical Features The numbers tell the story of what makes the R/T different: 288 combined horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, split between the front-mounted turbo engine and the independent rear electric motor, add up to a 5.6-second sprint to 60 mph -- figures WardsAuto itself recognized as among the industry's best new propulsion engineering. A six-speed automatic manages power to the front wheels, while the rear motor responds instantly, filling in torque exactly when it's needed most. Dodge's PowerShot feature adds a genuine party trick: a 30-horsepower boost available at the pull of both steering-wheel paddles, shaving roughly 1.5 seconds off the standard 0-60 time for those moments when a quick burst of acceleration matters. Combined with the Track Pack's Dual Mode Suspension and larger, red-painted brake calipers, this Hornet backs up its aggressive looks with genuine capability to match. Exterior Features Finished in 8 Ball, this Hornet wears its Italian-engineered proportions with an unmistakably Dodge attitude, and the Track Pack's gloss-black mirror caps, window moldings, and dark Hornet and R/T badging strip away any brightwork in favor of a more monochrome look. The 20-inch Abyss-finish wheels fill out the wheel arches nicely, hinting at the performance hardware underneath, while red-painted brake calipers peek through the spokes as a final signal of intent. Interior Features Inside, the R/T Plus's leather seating gives way to the Track Pack's Black Alcantara upholstery with red accents, a grippier, more motorsport-focused material that also looks the part. Heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel keep things comfortable through every season, while bright pedals and a sporty leather-wrapped steering wheel reinforce the cabin's performance-first personality every time the driver settles in.
