2024 Dodge Hornet Muncie IN

Dodge carefully crafted two distinct powertrains for the 2024 Dodge Hornet. Standard for the GT and GT Plus trim levels is the new Hurricane 4 engine. This turbocharged two-liter inline four-cylinder engine produces a robust 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful CUV in its class. Power is sent to all four wheels with a sturdy nine-speed automatic transmission and an advanced all-wheel drive system. The Hornet's AWD system stands out among its competitors with a feature called active torque vectoring. This improves stability in the corners by redistributing the amount of torque sent to the wheels on both sides of the vehicle. For instance, if you're taking a left corner, the system will limit the torque to the left wheels while increasing the torque being sent to the right wheels, allowing you to keep the vehicle steady through the curve. When the steering wheel straightens, the torque will automatically revert to its default split. As was previously mentioned, the Hornet R/T serves as the brand's first-ever plug-in hybrid, a testament to the forward-thinking the brand is known for. Powering the R/T and R/T Plus trims is a combination of gas and electric power using a 1.3L turbocharged engine and a rear axle-mounted electric motor. The Hornet R/T total power numbers are 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. However, thanks to the electric motor, 184 lb-ft of torque is available instantly, without any delay, providing an exciting driving experience. Power is seamlessly distributed to the R/T's wheels by a formidable six-speed automatic transmission. 

Inside and out, the 2024 Dodge Hornet is a bold step for the brand. Essentially, it takes the cookie-cutter design of a CUV and tosses it out the window! Drawing from Dodge's experience as a leader in the muscle car industry, the Hornet boasts an array of design notes announcing its heritage. These include aggressively shaped headlight housings with brilliant LED headlights, a unique mailslot grille opening adopted from the Charger Hellcat models, and pronounced dual heat extractors on the hood. Additionally, at the center of the grille is Dodge's coveted Rhombi symbol. At the rear, the sleek taillights are connected by a light bar that draws the eyes toward the first-ever LED-illuminated Rhombi emblem. Inside, a 12.3-inch customizable digital gauge cluster is positioned behind a comfortable leather-wrapped steering wheel. Dodge's signature driver-centric layout continues into the future with the 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 infotainment touchscreen along with the rest of the center stack shifted slightly to face the driver. The Hornet's ignition button is placed on the center console for a more intuitive position. Other standard interior features include six speakers, dual-zone automatic climate control, and premium cloth upholstery. 

It is safe to crown the 2024 Hornet as Dodge's most technologically advanced vehicle to date. The main reason for this lies within the Uconnect 5 infotainment software proudly displayed on the 10.25-inch touchscreen. Three words we'd use to describe the Uconnect 5 touchscreen are customizable, convenient, and intuitive. The customizability of Uconnect 5 begins with the five available user profiles. By setting up a user profile and selecting it, you can have the touchscreen laid out to display your favorite apps, climate control settings, and more. Plus, if you share the vehicle with another driver, they can have their own separate profile, and so can three other drivers! Plus, it comes with a Valet mode which defaults the settings and hides any personal data such as phone numbers and addresses. Standard Uconnect 5 features include but are not limited to Amazon Alexa virtual assistant, cordless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, two-device Bluetooth capabilities, available TomTom navigation, 4G LTE WiFi, and more. The R/T and R/T plus models add Hybrid Electric Pages to the Uconnect 5 system, giving you detailed information about the PHEV system, such as battery percentage, driving range, EV drive modes, and more. However, the Hornet's advanced technology doesn't stop at infotainment. The Hornet is also Dodge's safest vehicle yet, offering standard driver aids like blindspot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, rain-sensing wipers, forward collision warning, rear parking sensors, automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, and lane keep assist, among others. While these are standard, other high-tech driver aids like traffic sign recognition, semi-autonomous driving abilities, a 360-degree surround-view camera, and drowsy driver detection are available at higher trim levels.

The key to success in the automotive industry is to adapt to the ever-changing expectations of drivers, which is exactly what Dodge has done with the 2024 Dodge Hornet.
