Model & Year Overview

Dodge Hornet 2025

The 2025 Hornet continues with Stellantis refining both the GT and R/T PHEV configurations based on two model years of North American owner feedback. The 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder GT at 268 horsepower with AWD covers standard compact SUV duty effectively; fuel economy of approximately 10.5 L/100 km combined is acceptable for the output level. The R/T PHEV at 288 combined horsepower with 50 km of electric range is the more compelling technical proposition — buyers with Level 2 home charging can cover most urban daily driving electrically. The PowerShot launch boost and Sport mode tuning give the R/T a performance character unusual in the compact PHEV segment. Dodge expanded dealer availability across Canadian markets for 2025, improving service access relative to the early 2023 launch where some regions had limited Hornet-trained technicians. Confirm PHEV high-voltage battery pack warranty terms at time of purchase, as coverage tiers vary by province and use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Does the Hornet R/T 2025 with 375 hp justify itself against the Jeep Wrangler with its inline-six turbocharged engine?

The Hornet R/T 2025 turbocharged 3.0L produces 375 hp and 420 Nm of torque, delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration in 5.8 seconds — unusual for a compact SUV measuring 4,295 mm. Constant torque from 1,800-4,800 rpm makes it highly responsive in highway passing. The Wrangler, limited to 420 hp only on an optional V8 (otherwise restricted to a 260 hp 2.0T turbocharged engine), rivals only with V8. The Hornet R/T costs more overall but delivers superior acceleration. Expected fuel consumption: 10.8 L/100 km in Montreal urban conditions.

02

Does the Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission of the Hornet 2025 guarantee smoothness on Quebec's urban roads?

The Aisin AT8 transmission mounted on the Hornet T4 (2.3L) and R/T (3.0T) 2025 features widely-spaced gears optimized for linear acceleration. Road tests show superior agility compared to the 9-speed automatics of Jeep Compass models, with less-pronounced gear shifts below 60 km/h. In Montreal stop-and-go traffic, the engine idles around 1,100 rpm at 80 km/h in fifth gear — a balanced compromise. The "Sport" program tightens gear changes; no manual shift paddle exists (unlike Jeep Gladiator). Estimated durability: 250,000 km without major intervention with proper maintenance.

03

What passive safety equipment distinguishes the Hornet 2025 from rivals like the GMC Terrain?

The Hornet 2025 features 10 standard airbags, including driver and passenger knee airbags — a distinctive feature missing on base Chevrolet Equinox models. Three-stage energy-absorbing body frame design. Pre-tensioning seatbelts on both front seats. Provisional NHTSA tests project a "Good" rating in front and side impact protection. The used GMC Terrain 2022-2023 lacks knee airbags; advantage Hornet. However, the Equinox RS offers electronic active safety features (automatic emergency braking) 2-3 years more mature.
