Dodge has restated the economy and acceleration its “first-ever electrified performance vehicle” (the Durango Hybrid, despite a Hemi V8, doesn’t count).
For Canadians, the powertrain has 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, with up to 53 km of all electric range and 573 km of total range. Fuel economy is 31 l/100km (77 MPGe). The PowerShot feature brings the R/T to a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time of 5.6 seconds.
The GT’s 2.0 liter gasoline engine provides 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque on its own; its 0-100 km/h time is 6.5 seconds, in sport mode.
In addition to the R/T, a hands-free liftgate became standard in the GT Plus and R/T Plus for 2024, and parallel and perpendicular parking was added to the Tech Pack option.
For United States citizens, nothing changes but the all-electric range is 32 miles, the total range is 360 miles, and gas mileage is not yet available.
The Dodge Hornet is sold in AWD only, with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
