2024 Dodge Hornet Release Date: Performance, Colors, Packages & More

2024 Dodge Hornet GT Specs

We'll start with the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT specs, as the GT and GT Plus trims feature the base engine that many motorists will likely opt for when securing a new Hornet. The Hornet GT and GT Plus engine and specs carry over from the 2023 model year, with the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine developing 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.

All-wheel drive and torque vectoring come standard on every 2024 Hornet SUV. Power is transmitted to the Hornet SUV's four wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission. Sport Mode brings the Hornet GT to life even more, with tighter steering and sharper throttle response. Activate Sport Mode via a steering wheel button on GT models.

2024 Dodge Hornet Horsepower: GT & R/T

With 268 horsepower on tap, the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT is one powerful machine, especially considering this is the base model of this affordable compact SUV. But if you're after even more horsepower, the 2024 Dodge Hornet release date brought with it the new Dodge Hornet R/T and its accompanying plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Opting for the new 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T Plus or R/T boosts power to the tune of 288 horsepower. Perhaps even more impressive is the bump in torque, rated at 383 pound-feet of torque on R/T trims. The Hornet R/T has a trick up its sleeve, too, with its exclusive PowerShot feature, providing an additional 30 horsepower for up to 15 seconds.

With E-Save, Electric, and Hybrid drive modes, plus the PowerShot feature, you can tailor your ride and reach maximum horsepower.
