If you're looking for a compact crossover with a truly staggering amount of raw power, the 2024 Dodge Hornet is for you. With class-leading performance and a unique take on the hybrid market, there's a lot to love about this new contender, so strap in and meet a crossover with a major attitude.

Fastest, or Most Powerful?

The 2024 Hornet offers two incredible power plants, both of which have more than enough might to blow your hair back and put a grin on your face as your foot pushes to the floor. Choose the gasoline-driven GT or GT Plus and get a turbocharged 2.0-liter Hurricane4 engine that pumps out 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, enabling a class-leading top speed of 140 miles per hour.

Want to go electric? Step up to the R/T and R/T Plus trims, where a plug-in hybrid powertrain offers the most power in its class at 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, enough to raise the hair on your neck and cause whiplash to any bystander watching as you hurtle the Hornet from zero to sixty in just 5.6 seconds.

All-Wheel Drive Comes Standard

It's not just about having excellent off-road traction or sticking to the pavement on wet and rainy days. Standard All-Wheel Drive improves the Hornet's ability to corner, too, especially when paired with its advanced Dynamic Torque Vectoring technology that ensures maximum balance, stability, and performance even in the tightest of turns.

Take More, Go Further

With 27 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row and even more space with the back seats folded down, the 2024 Hornet can take almost anything, almost anywhere. With a payload capacity of up to 1,195 pounds and a towing capability of up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped, the Hornet doesn't break a sweat bringing along kayaks, canoes, campers, snowmobiles, and more to help maximize the adventure.

And with a range of up to 360 miles, R/T drivers are practically immune from range anxiety, especially knowing that the Hornet can take a full tank of gasoline and keep on driving even if there isn't a charging station handy. Want to travel all-electric and skip the pump completely? With an all-electric driving range of 32 miles, the Hornet can eliminate fossil fuels for many drivers' daily commutes.

With a pair of high-output motors, a precision-designed suspension, massively aggressive styling, and best-in-class performance, the essence of the 2024 Hornet is furious speed and righteous performance. But the best way to get to know the Hornet is to climb behind the wheel. So test drive your Hornet today at Black CDJR in Statesville, NC, and find out what the buzz is all about.

With the push of a button, you can quickly lower the bed of the vehicle by one inch to make hitching and towing simpler, and once you're finished, you can then set it back to the normal ride height for everyday driving. 4. The RamBox Storage System There's also the RamBox Cargo Management System, which provides everything you need to secure cargo and power both appliances and work tools. This system, which is located near the bed, comes with two storage bins that each have LED lighting, locks for protecting cargo, and drains if you want to use them as ice coolers. There's also a 115-volt power outlet in the driver's side bin, and you can use your key fob to quickly access either bin. 5. 360-Degree Camera Views The 360-degree Surround View camera system allows you to see 360-degree visuals around the vehicle to make parking and trailering easier. With the split-screen function, you can toggle between both ground-level and bird's-eye views or look at both at the same time.
