Do More With Less
The Dodge Hornet lets you spend more time on the road and less at the pump. Whether you choose the standard combustion engine or the available hybrid configuration, you can travel hundreds of miles with minimal stops. The Hornet GT keeps the thrills coming with an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG rating—so the fun lasts longer between pitstops.
Opt for the Hornet R/T, and you’ll enjoy up to 32 miles of all-electric driving, with a total range of up to an EPA-estimated 360 miles for road trips. With the R/T and its hybrid configuration, you can choose the energy source thanks to its three driving modes:
- Hybrid Mode: Uses a combination of gas and electric energy for maximum efficiency.
- Electric Mode: Pulls energy only from the electric powertrain for zero-emission driving.
- E-Save Mode: Reserves electrical energy and prioritizes gas.
With its impressive fuel efficiency, you’ll have plenty to look forward to on the open road when you drive the Dodge Hornet. The only question is, where will you go first?
