2024 Dodge Hornet Specs: Engine Selections

When you choose the gas-powered GT or the plug-in hybrid R/T, you can choose between the following Dodge Hornet engines—the Hurricane4 2.0L 4-cylinder Turbo or the 1.3L 4-cylinder Turbo PHEV. Compare both engines in greater detail:

Hurricane4 2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo Engine (GT, GT Plus Only)

• 268 hp, 295 lb-ft of torque
• 21 / 29 mpg city/highway
• Fuel tank capacity:13.5 gallons
• Maximum towing capacity: 2,000 pounds
• Maximum payload capacity: 1,245 pounds

1.3L 4-Cylinder Turbo PHEV Engine (R/T, R/T Plus Only)

• 288 hp, 383 lb-ft of torque
• 15.5 kWh capacity
• 305 total voltage
• Fuel tank capacity: 11.2 gallons
• EPA-estimated total driving range of 360 miles
• EPA-estimated all-electric driving range of 32 miles
• Maximum towing capacity: 2,000 pounds
• Maximum payload capacity: 1,195 pounds

As you’ve gathered, the Dodge Hornet R/T specs and capabilities are similar to the Dodge Hornet GT specs. However, the R/T can switch to an all-electric mode that squeezes out 32 miles of electric range. With this, the EPA estimates that the hybrid Hornet R/T has an impressive range of 360 miles. 

Regardless, the Dodge Hornet engine is still impressive for a crossover. For example, J.D Power estimates that the average CUV (crossover utility vehicle) outputs 200 hp, which the GT easily outpaces! No matter which option you purchase, both have the range to get you around the Mars-area and beyond with few fueling stops.
