Performance & Capability

When it comes to performance, the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT AWD is engineered to provide a responsive and engaging experience every time you turn the key. Under the hood lies the Hurricane 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant is a marvel of modern engineering, featuring a DOHC design and variable valve control to deliver a robust 268HP.

The engine is paired with a 9-Speed 948TE Automatic Transmission, which offers a Lock-up transmission feature and Overdrive transmission to ensure smooth shifts and optimized performance across various speeds.

Living in the Midwest means preparing for unpredictable weather and varying road conditions. That is why the All Wheel Drive system on this Hornet is so essential.
