2024 Dodge Hornet R/T PHEV Power

With the Hornet R/T, Dodge introduces the epitome of efficiency and power within the Hornet lineup. Lifting the hood reveals a turbocharged 1.3L inline four-cylinder engine, artfully combined with an electric motor placed on the rear axle. This electric motor draws its energy from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. The harmonious interplay of these two propulsion systems results in the Hornet R/T's formidable all-wheel drive capability, where the front wheels are driven by the turbocharged engine and the rear wheels are powered by the electric motor. The Hornet R/T's performance is propelled to new heights with the assistance of electric power, delivering an impressive instant torque of 184 lb-ft from a standstill and a total torque of 383 lb-ft, accompanied by a remarkable 288 horsepower. Seamlessly complementing this powertrain is a six-speed automatic transmission accompanied by steering wheel paddle shifters, offering the ease of sequential gear control. Beyond its exceptional performance, the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T boasts remarkable efficiency. The Hornet R/T boasts an impressive 77 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) and up to 32 miles of all-electric driving. For longer journeys, the total driving range stretches to an impressive 360 miles, making the Hornet R/T a true champion in both power and eco-consciousness.

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.

Despite prioritizing fuel efficiency with the plug-in hybrid powertrain of the Dodge Hornet R/T, performance remains a top priority for Dodge, leveraging the advantages of electric power to its fullest potential. In addition to the instant torque delivered by the electric motor, the Hornet R/T introduces the groundbreaking PowerShot feature. This innovative creation empowers the Hornet with an extra surge of power precisely when drivers require it the most. To activate PowerShot, simply pull both paddle shifters and press the accelerator pedal simultaneously, and the Hornet will unleash an exhilarating fifteen-second burst of an additional 25 horsepower, further enhancing its performance prowess. A conspicuous PowerShot light illuminates on the instrument panel during its activation, ensuring drivers are aware of its engagement. Utilizing the PowerShot feature significantly reduces the Hornet's 0-60 time by an impressive full second to an exciting 5.6 seconds! And the best part? It can be utilized as frequently as the driver desires, as there's a fifteen-second cooldown period between each use.
