But this actually was an impressive little performance oriented vehicle. Sure it’s modeled after an Alfa Romeo and that would … scare most who knows a thing or two about vehicles. I’m fully expecting people to look past this small crossover with regards to dodges lack of quality and reliability in previous years, and I don’t blame you one bit, but hear me out.įinally I too realized it’s been a minute since I sought a new car and even I was taken back when I decided to get behind the wheel of this new hornet.

The 15.5-kWh battery pack is expected to deliver more than 30 miles of all-electric range on a full charge. It's also the more practical of the two powertrains.
The R/T isn't just about running lightning laps, however. Dodge says that without PowerShot engaged, the R/T's 0-60 mph time stands at roughly 7.1 seconds. However, that's only if you engage the PowerShot feature, which temporarily supplies the Hornet with extra 30 hp for a limited time, presumably by draining the battery a bit quicker. The Hornet R/T utilizes a six-speed auto and all-wheel drive - good, Dodge says, for a 5.6-second dash to 60 mph. While that doesn't sound impressive on its own, the R/T's plug-in hybrid component really gives this Hornet its stinger.Ĭombined output between the engine and electric motor stands at 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The R/T swaps in a turbocharged 1.3-liter four-cylinder instead. If you want a surer bet in your quest for stoplight dominance, wait a little longer for the Hornet R/T. That's quicker than just about every other model in the class and should keep it neck-and-neck with the other hot rod of this class, the Mazda CX-30 with its available turbocharged 250-hp engine. Paired to a nine-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive, the powertrain combination is said to be good for a 0-60 mph sprint of 6.5 seconds.
