Subcompact midsize SUV
Unveiled with a moniker from the history of the automobile business is the 2023 Dodge Hornet.
The Hudson Hornet, a full-size automobile that rose to fame in NASCAR in the early 1950s, along with the Hudson name, were both acquired by AMC. The AMC Hornet compact automobile series, which was available from 1970 to 1977, came next.
When Chrysler bought out its competitor in 1987, it preserved all the greatest assets, including Jeep and a number of model names that were transferred to Stellantis, the current owner of Dodge.
The Dodge Hornet is a compact SUV that is based on the recently released Alfa Romeo Tonale but has been redesigned and reengineered to look and feel more like a Dodge. It falls somewhere between its predecessors.
Dodge is entering a new age. The Charger and Challenger, two popular V-8-powered vehicles with a throwback theme, have been crucial to the brand's survival for at least the last ten years. Hell, it even had a 710-hp Durango with an estimated combined fuel economy of 13 mpg. Dodge has said goodbye, even if the Hellcat SUV and numerous special editions of the muscle-car pair will return in 2023. The choice is being made as the company turns sharply to the left in order to move toward an electrified future that will start with the new 2023 Dodge Hornet.
A 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a nine-speed automated transmission that produces 265 horsepower powers Hornet GT versions. Dodge claims that the Hornet can accelerate to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds with optional all-wheel drive. The 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor combined to produce 285 horsepower in the R/T variant, which is Dodge's first plug-in hybrid vehicle. The R/T has a six-speed automatic transmission rather than the nine-speed automatic from the GT, although all-wheel drive is still standard.
