The Dodge brand has always been synonymous with power. The legendary Charger and Challenger have graced the covers of muscle car magazines for decades. But it’s 2025, and Dodge is finding new ways to get power into passionate driver’s hands. What if you could get something quick, powerful, nimble, and approachable from a brand like Dodge? What if the masters of the muscle car decided to craft a hot hatch? Wonder no more. Let’s look at the 2025 Dodge Hornet.
Concentrated Power and Performance
With a turbocharged 2.0 liter Hurricane4 engine, the Hornet pumps out 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque in a heartbeat. It’s the fastest CUV on the market, topping out at 140 mph. Upgrading to the R/T hybrid package gets you off the line faster than any CUV out there, rocketing from 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds courtesy of Dodge’s segment-exclusive PowerShot feature. It’s no wonder that buying a Hornet provides a free ticket to Dodge’s exclusive driving school.
But it’s not just the engine that gives the Hornet its sting. Four-wheel disc brakes and best-in-class suspension make the Hornet light and agile in the corners. All-wheel drive and a nine-gear automatic transmission deliver power exactly where you need it. Sharpen the throttle and tighten up the steering in Sport Mode, and you’ll quickly put all your competitors in the rearview mirror.
Hot Hatch Pricing, Track Attitude
A hot hatch should be easy on the wallet, and the Hornet delivers. The 2025 Hornet packs details into the cockpit that set it apart from the daily commute. The front seats are comfortable for a daily drive, but the canted steering wheel, tall shift lever, and red trim make the Hornet truly unique. Upgrades include useful perks like paddle shifters and heated seats, but no matter what the package, the Hornet isn’t another bland SUV.
The 2025 Hornet has all the full-throated power you’d expect from the Dodge brand. But that power’s been focused into a nimble, high-performance hot hatch that can take the corners and stop on a dime. Simply put, it’s a fun drive that makes blasting through North Dakota highways a treat. Let’s talk over the specs and make one yours today. Visit the Charbonneau Chrysler Center in Dickson, ND.
