2024 Dodge Hornet R/T FAQs

The 2024 model year Introduces the pinnacle of power and fuel efficiency with the Hornet R/T from Dodge. Beneath the hood lies a turbocharged 1.3L inline four-cylinder engine working with an electric motor positioned on the rear axle. This electric motor derives its power from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The harmonious interplay of these two propulsion systems culminates in the Hornet R/T's commanding all-wheel drive capability. In this setup, the front wheels are energized by the turbocharged engine, while the rear wheels are propelled by the electric motor. Amplifying the Hornet R/T's performance to the next level is the infusion of electric power, unleashing a commanding instant torque of 184 lb-ft from a standstill and an aggregate torque of 383 lb-ft, accompanied by an impressive 288 horsepower. In seamless synergy with this powertrain, a six-speed automatic transmission partners with steering wheel paddle shifters, affording the convenience of sequential gear control. The transmission sends power to all four wheels providing impressive traction in all conditions. Meanwhile, Active Torque Vectoring provides superior handling in the curves, by sending more power to the outside wheels and limiting power to the inside wheels, helping you hug the corners. Beyond its extraordinary performance, the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T touts exceptional efficiency. The Hornet R/T flaunts a notable 77 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and a potential range of up to 32 miles solely on electric power. For extended journeys, the cumulative driving range extends to a remarkable 360 miles, cementing the Hornet R/T as a true exponent of both eco-consciousness and exciting performance.

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. Alongside the immediate torque supplied by the electric motor, the Hornet R/T introduces the revolutionary PowerShot innovation. This pioneering creation empowers the Hornet with an extra surge of power precisely when drivers need it the most. Engaging PowerShot is as simple as simultaneously pulling both paddle shifters and pressing the accelerator pedal. In response, the Hornet will unleash a thrilling burst of an additional 25 horsepower for a duration of fifteen seconds, elevating its performance prowess to new heights. A conspicuous PowerShot indicator illuminates on the instrument panel upon activation, ensuring drivers are informed about its engagement. Employing the PowerShot feature significantly slashes the Hornet's 0-60 time by a remarkable full second, bringing it down to an exciting 5.6 seconds! And the cherry on top? This feature can be employed as frequently as desired, with a fifteen-second cooldown interval between each utilization.

Much like other PHEVs, the Hornet R/T offers drivers the flexibility to customize power usage according to their specific requirements, thanks to its versatile drive modes: Hybrid, Electric, and E-Save. In the default mode, Hybrid, the Hornet R/T seamlessly combines the strengths of both gas and electric power. The turbocharged engine comes into play only when additional power is needed, responding to the driver's gas pedal input. Switching to Electric mode shuts down the turbocharged engine entirely, granting a serene and emissions-free driving experience for more than 30 miles. E-Save mode allows users to preserve the electric power for later use. It offers two options: Passive mode, which simply stores the battery's charge for future needs, and Active mode, where the battery is recharged using regenerative braking. With these dynamic drive modes, the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T puts the control in the driver's hands, enabling an optimized and personalized driving experience to suit diverse demands.
