The 2025 Dodge Hornet is a plug-in hybrid SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The R/T PHEV is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured R/T PHEV version develops 288 hp and 519 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.5 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph). Its power output is about 21% below the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 15.5 kWh. The recorded electric range is 53 km (33 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 2.6 L/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 32 kW. Its listed range is about 27% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,462 mm (175.7 in) in length, 1,824 mm (71.8 in) in width, and 1,617 mm (63.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,636 mm (103.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 398 litres (14.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,220 litres (43.1 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,858 kg (4,096 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 1,134 kg (2,500 lb). That cargo volume is about 27% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby plug-in hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Dodge Hornet is strongest on price, while towing capacity and range stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
