As you head toward the expressway for your commute into the Chicago metro area, you aren't just driving another compact SUV; you are piloting a vehicle designed for those who refuse to settle for the mundane. Whether you are navigating the suburban streets of Highland, IN, or heading out for a weekend of lakefront relaxation, this Sport Utility vehicle brings a muscular attitude to every mile. It is the perfect companion for the modern professional or active family who values a vehicle that works as hard as they do while maintaining a sharp, aggressive edge that stands out in any parking lot or driveway.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood of the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT Plus AWD lies the heart of a true performer: the Hurricane 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant delivers an impressive 268HP, providing the punch you need for merging onto busy highways or navigating the changing elevations around South Bend, IN. The 9-Speed 948TE Automatic Transmission ensures seamless gear changes, while the Automatic full-time AWD system provides confident traction regardless of the unpredictable Midwestern weather.

The mechanical sophistication continues with a Normal Duty Suspension featuring Independent front and rear suspension with Strut designs at both ends, offering a balanced and composed ride. For those who like to tailor their driving experience, the Driver selectable drivetrain mode allows you to adjust the vehicle's personality to suit the road ahead. Efficiency is also a priority, with the Auto stop-start engine technology helping to achieve an EPA-estimated 21 city / 29 hwy MPG. Every component, from the Iron engine block to the Engine oil cooler, is engineered for durability and consistent performance during long commutes or spirited weekend drives.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the Hornet GT Plus AWD serves as a high-tech command center. The centerpiece is the Uconnect 5 Navigation Radio with 10.25-inch Display, which provides a crystal-clear interface for all your media and vehicle settings. Drivers are treated to a massive 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster display, ensuring vital trip information is always front and center. Staying connected is effortless thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite apps without fumbling for cords.

For those traveling between Michigan City, IN, and the surrounding areas, the Integrated navigation system with voice activation ensures you never lose your way. Keeping your devices powered is simple with four USB ports and a convenient front wireless smart device charging pad. The Voice Command system allows you to control the audio and other functions without taking your eyes off the road, while Bluetooth® wireless audio streaming lets you enjoy your curated playlists through the premium sound system.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of the Hornet GT Plus is a masterclass in driver-centric design, featuring premium Black Leather front seat upholstery. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy 8-way power-adjustable seats with 4-way power lumbar support, ensuring long-distance comfort during trips across the state. When the summer humidity hits, the Ventilated Front Seats provide a cooling breeze, while Heated front seats and a Heated steering wheel offer a warm welcome during frigid Indiana winters.

Practicality meets luxury with features like the Power Liftgate for easy access to the cargo area and a Power moonroof that opens up the cabin to natural light. The Dual-zone front climate control and rear under-seat climate control ducts keep everyone comfortable, while the 60-40 folding rear seats and cargo area concealed storage provide the versatility needed for grocery runs or sporting gear. Every detail, from the Leather steering wheel to the metal-look interior accents, has been chosen to create an environment that feels both upscale and athletic.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Dodge has equipped the 2024 Hornet GT Plus AWD with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies to protect you and your passengers. The Forward Collision Warning-Plus and Lane departure prevention systems act as an extra set of eyes on the road, while Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Path Detection make navigating busy parking lots or lane changes much safer. When cruising on the open road toward Columbia Center, IN, the Adaptive Cruise Control w/Stop maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.

The vehicle is built with a robust safety cage and includes seven airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag and curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. Braking performance is equally impressive, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and painted front and rear brake calipers for a touch of sporty flair. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera and ParkSense rear parking sensors provide clear guidance when reversing, ensuring you can maneuver this Sport Utility with absolute confidence.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of the Hornet GT Plus AWD is finished in the striking 8 Ball non-metallic paint, giving it a sophisticated and stealthy appearance. The aggressive front end is highlighted by a Black grille and LED low and high beam projector headlights, complemented by LED daytime running lights that ensure you are seen day or night. The athletic stance is further enhanced by 17-inch Silver Aluminum Wheels and a rear lip spoiler that hints at the performance capabilities within.

Functional design elements abound, including heated power-folding door mirrors with integrated turn signals and rain-detecting wipers that automatically adjust to the intensity of the downpour. The first and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof adds a premium touch to the roofline, while the body-colored bumpers and black bodyside cladding provide a cohesive, rugged look. Whether parked on the streets of Highland, IN, or navigating a rural path, the Hornet's design is unmistakably Dodge.
