New Dodge Hornet for Sale in Flemington, NJ
Comfortable accommodations, excellent practicality, and abundant amenities would be enough to make the Dodge Hornet a compelling option among compact crossovers. However, Dodge isn't a brand known for sticking to the status quo. So, the Hornet stands out with segment-topping performance, boasting nimble handling, standard all-wheel drive, and punchy powertrain options, including the first-ever plug-in hybrid in a Dodge brand vehicle. Trenton-area enthusiasts can find the Dodge Hornet for sale or lease here at Ciocca Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Flemington.
Performance
Dodge Hornet GT and GT Plus
Standard propulsion for the Dodge Hornet comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. With 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, Hornet GT and GT Plus models can sprint to 60 mph in under six seconds, quicker than most class competitors. All models include all-wheel drive, providing surefooted handling and control in various conditions.
Dodge Hornet R/T and R/T Plus
Are you seeking something more potent or efficient for your Flemington drives? The Hornet R/T PHEV delivers both. By combining a 1.3-liter turbo-four engine with an electric motor (288 horsepower, 383 pound-feet of torque) and a quick-shifting AISIN® 6-speed transmission, Hornet R/T and R/T Plus models can reach 60 mph in just ~5.5 seconds. A 12.0-kWh battery helps improve fuel economy to an EPA-estimated 77 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). It also provides an estimated ~33 miles of electric-only range, letting you experience EV driving without worrying about range anxiety.1
A 7.4-kW onboard charger lets the Dodge Hornet replenish its battery in as little as 2.5 hours using Level 2 equipment (240-volt). However, you don't necessarily need to install special equipment. The Hornet R/T can charge overnight (~7.5 hours) using a standard 120-volt household-style outlet.
