Introduction to the 2024 Dodge Hornet
The 2024 Dodge Hornet is available with two impressive powertrains and a wealth of options that allow you to customize your driving experience.

You can enhance the Hornet’s appearance with bold options, such as the available 20-inch rims, red Brembo brake calipers, and dual exhaust pipes.
Explanation of Zero to 60 Times
Zero to 60 acceleration times became a popular method for measuring car performance in part because vehicles are initially tested for performance on the metric system at zero to 100 kilometers per hour. This translates roughly to 62 mph, which gets rounded down to a more palatable and concise measurement of zero to 60. Things get more complicated when considering just why we should care about this acceleration time.
It’s unlikely that you’ll often accelerate to 60 mph this quickly. In most situations, it would be unsafe or illegal to drive in such a manner. However, this measurement can give you some interesting facts about your car. Whether you’re speeding from zero to 60 or just trying to get up to speed in a reasonable amount of time along an on-ramp, you want to know what kind of pep your vehicle has. Fast acceleration means a peppier car and a more satisfying driving experience.

The 2024 Dodge Hornet GT comes equipped with a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Delivering 268 horsepower and up to 295 lb-ft of torque, the Hornet GT can achieve speeds of up to 140 mph, making it the fastest crossover SUV in its segment. Dynamic Torque Vectoring redistributes power to the wheels for optimal stability, balance, and overall performance. The Hornet GT gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.
The Dodge Hornet GT Plus has all the features of the GT with some added perks, such as a 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, wireless charging pad, and a hands-free power liftgate.
The R/T plug-in hybrid model comes with a turbocharged 1.3L four-cylinder engine as well as an electric motor. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a combined 288 horsepower. The PowerShot feature can temporarily increase the horsepower by 30 when both paddle shifters are pulled.
The R/T features a 12.0-kWh battery pack that delivers 33 miles of electric driving with each charge. It offers an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined or 77 MPGe combined when factoring in the onboard battery pack. The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T features lightweight materials and artful weight distribution that sits at an almost perfect 50/50 ratio. This, combined with the reinforced body structure, provides optimal handling.
In many ways, the R/T Plus is to the R/T as the GT Plus is to the GT. This trim level adds perks such as the 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, ventilated front seats, wireless charging pad, and power liftgate.
Actual Zero to 60 Times
The 2024 Dodge Hornet GT goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.

If you’re looking for a peppy pick, the Dodge Hornet is definitely a top contender.

Equipped with Brembo brakes and the Track Pack Package, the R/T can achieve a full stop going from 62 to zero in only 138 feet.
Factors Affecting Zero to 60 Times
A car’s acceleration speed is determined largely by its horsepower. Horsepower is a unit of measurement that indicates how quickly energy is transferred within a vehicle. Essentially, your horsepower tells you how fast the force from your motor converts into speed. Acceleration is also influenced by aerodynamics, torque, gear ratios, vehicle weight, and other factors.
