Crossovers and SUVs have the perfect body style for motorists who want space, size, and functionality. Sadly, not all offer sporty driving dynamics, the grip and traction of a four-wheel drive, or a hybrid powertrain. Well, Dodge offers all of the above, and surprisingly, from one of its smallest models.
The Dodge Hornet is a compact crossover SUV that floats like a butterfly – with its outstanding agility – and stings like a bee – with its robust lineup of engines. The 2025 model gets available paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, and buyers get a free one-day session at the Radford Racing School, the official high-performance school of Dodge//SRT.
Dodge offers the 2025 Hornet in four exciting trim levels:
Buyers can choose between two turbocharged engines, one of which uses a hybrid system. Regardless of the trim level, the 2025 Hornet boasts best-in-class standard performance and a swarm of class-exclusive performance features.

The 2025 Dodge Hornet is a five-seater, two-row compact utility vehicle that possesses the cabin of a roomy luxury sports sedan. It has an all-black interior with red accent stitching and top-notch metals and materials on the tunnel bezel, upper door panels, and other surfaces.
Rear passengers will enjoy its 38 inches of legroom, especially on long, cross-country drives. And what's a vacation like without a change of clothes and gear? That is why this compact utility vehicle offers as much as 54.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats stowed.
The GT and R/T have cloth/leatherette upholstery, while the GT Plus and R/T Plus use leather. Black Alcantara® non-vented seats with red accents are available for all trim levels, while red leather is exclusive to the Plus variants. The GT has a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, while the rest of the lineup uses an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat.
The 2025 Dodge Hornet features a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen display. Six speakers are standard equipment in the GT and R/T, while the Plus variants sport a 14-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio system. All trim levels have dual front USB ports.
Dodge ensured that the 2025 Hornet is the exact opposite of a by-the-book compact utility vehicle by giving it a head-turning design and a powertrain like no other in the segment. It is also the only model with factory-warrantied, dealer-installed performance parts through Direct Connection (certified performance dealers factory).
The 2025 Dodge Hornet sports functional hood scoops to direct more cool air into the engine bay. The front fascia sports a mean mug with a bold gloss black upper and lower grille flanked by aggressive accents and LED auto-leveling headlights with daytime running lamps.
