Dodge Hornet Performance Overview

Dodge’s compact Hornet performance profile is concentrated into a short 2023 to 2024 production run, with 8 verified tests spanning its full model-year coverage. From launch, the range paired turbocharged four-cylinder output with two distinct powertrain paths: the gasoline GT using the Hurricane4, and the plug-in-hybrid R/T PHEV using the GME-T4. Output across the lineup runs from 268 to 288 horsepower, and the earliest benchmark also remains the quickest overall: the 2023 GT (Track Pack) reached 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, establishing the model’s fastest recorded sprint.

As testing broadened through 2023 and 2024, the gasoline GT variants stayed at the sharper end of the Hornet’s acceleration spread, while the plug-in-hybrid R/T PHEV emphasized a different balance of delivery. The 2023 GT Plus posted 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, and the 2024 GT came through in 5.4 seconds, keeping the core turbo gasoline setup close to the launch benchmark. On the hybrid side, the 2024 R/T PHEV ran the quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 96 mph, the quickest quarter-mile result in the data, while recording a 6.3-second 0-60 time. Today, the Hornet stands as a two-powertrain, gasoline-and-plug-in-hybrid entry averaging 5.79 seconds to 60 mph and 14.55 seconds in the quarter-mile across all recorded tests.

How we verify Dodge Hornet performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Dodge Hornet trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
