The 2024 Dodge Hornet is a five-seat compact crossover with two distinct powertrains. GT uses a 2.0-liter turbo engine, nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. R/T combines a 1.3-liter turbo with plug-in hybrid hardware, a six-speed automatic and electric all-wheel drive. Choosing between them changes charging, cargo and ownership calculations, so begin with your Cape routine rather than a trim badge alone.
Key numbers and what they mean
| Vehicle fact | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| GT: 2.0-liter turbo / nine-speed automatic / AWD | 268 hp on premium and 295 lb-ft; not the plug-in system. |
| R/T: 1.3-liter turbo PHEV / six-speed automatic / eAWD | Hornet R/T produces 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of combined system torque. |
| Five seats / 178-inch body length | Try passenger access and leave space around the parked vehicle. |
| GT cargo: 27 / 54.7 cubic feet | Rear seats usable / folded are different arrangements. |
| R/T cargo: 22.9 / 50.5 cubic feet | Do not assign the gasoline version's larger space to the plug-in. |
| EPA R/T: 32 electric miles / 77 MPGe / 29 gasoline combined mpg | Keep propulsion mode and actual conditions attached to ratings. |
| Properly equipped towing: up to 2,000 pounds | Verify equipment and all loaded limits for the selected car. |
Pick the powertrain before the comfort package
A daily Barnstable routine with suitable charging access creates a different R/T opportunity from a household relying entirely on public sessions. A Falmouth or Chatham trip can also expose a packing requirement that matters more than the extra output. Decide where charging would happen and what must travel with passengers before comparing Plus equipment or a preferred wheel finish.
Shop the Hornet search or contact send your questions about Dodge Hornet models. Keep the GT gasoline and R/T plug-in descriptions separate. Combining the GT's larger cargo figure, R/T's electric range and whichever equipment package looks best creates a comparison that does not describe a single vehicle.
The four Hornet configurations begin with two different ownership routines: the gasoline GT and plug-in R/T. Plus equipment then adds another cabin and convenience comparison.
DODGE HORNET GT AWD
The 2024 Dodge Hornet GT AWD started at $31,400 MSRP at launch, before destination. Shop Hornet GT models in our inventory.
GT's 2.0-liter turbo is rated at 268 horsepower on premium fuel and 295 lb-ft, paired with a nine-speed automatic. It is the gasoline arrangement rather than the plug-in hybrid.
GT's EPA estimate is 21 city, 29 highway and 24 combined mpg. Include your own fuel price and driving pattern in the estimate.
DODGE HORNET R/T EAWD
Shop Dodge Hornet R/T EAWD in our inventory.
R/T uses a 1.3-liter turbo plug-in hybrid arrangement with combined output of 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft, paired with a six-speed automatic and eAWD. Its battery specification is 15.5 kWh gross. The total system figure should not be described as the gasoline engine's output alone, and its powertrain should not be merged with GT's nine-speed description.
The applicable EPA ratings include 32 miles of electric range, 77 MPGe and 29 combined mpg in gasoline operation. Hornet R/T electric range varies with weather and driving conditions.
Charging and the weekly routine
Hornet R/T accepts external charging for its plug-in hybrid battery. A qualified electrician handles new home-charging installations for Hornet R/T.
For an ownership comparison, use the EPA consumption information with the actual electricity tariff, including relevant supply, delivery and fees. Charging losses matter to purchased energy. Do not divide gross battery capacity by an advertised range to promise a household cost, and do not apply an electric-mode rating to every mile driven after the battery has been depleted.
DODGE HORNET GT PLUS AWD
Shop Dodge Hornet GT Plus AWD in our inventory.
GT Plus keeps the GT gasoline powertrain while changing the comfort and convenience comparison. Hornet GT Plus offers roof, front-seat comfort, premium audio and power-liftgate equipment. An attractive cabin package does not turn this version into the R/T plug-in system or create electric-only driving range.
If summer use involves sandy equipment and winter use involves repeated short errands, inspect materials, controls and the actual tires.
DODGE HORNET R/T PLUS EAWD
Shop Dodge Hornet R/T Plus EAWD in our inventory.
Hornet R/T Plus pairs its plug-in hybrid powertrain with comfort-equipment upgrades. The Plus name does not remove the need for a practical charging plan, and it does not give R/T the GT's larger rear cargo measurement.
PowerShot belongs to the R/T performance discussion and operates under its own conditions.
Luxury Redefined: Explore the Exquisite Interior of the 2024 Dodge Hornet
Both powertrains seat five, but their luggage areas differ. GT has 27 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.7 folded; R/T has 22.9 and 50.5 respectively. For an Orleans bicycle outing or a beach-day load, leave the needed passenger positions usable and test the awkward object through the opening. The larger folded figure describes a different seating arrangement.
The center display is a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, while the 12.3-inch instrument display serves the driver. It is not an Acura True Touchpad interface. Try familiar phone tasks using the supported wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto connection, and learn frequent controls while parked.
Cabin comfort and connected driving
Power, heating, ventilation and audio descriptions should reflect the installed package. Hornet offers Harman Kardon audio and wireless phone charging.
Activation, subscriptions and coverage can affect what the owner can use.
Presenting Bold Elegance: Discover the Striking Exterior of the 2024 Dodge Hornet.
The Dodge Hornet measures 178 inches long.
Ground clearance differs by powertrain: the specification lists 8 inches for GT and 6.1 for R/T. Neither clearance nor all-wheel drive grants permission for beach travel; Sandy Neck and National Seashore use require the relevant eligibility, permits, equipment and access conditions to be checked independently.
Tires and a Cape winter
All-wheel drive helps apply power under its conditions, while stopping and turning still depend on suitable tires, surface and driver inputs. Include the actual replacement arrangement in the budget, particularly if the selected package changes wheel size or uses a tire designed around a different priority.
Book Hornet maintenance through service. Do not assume electric travel eliminates the gasoline engine's care requirements or that a shared body means identical service needs.

Safety Features on the 2024 Dodge Hornet
Hornet offers blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts, lane support and forward braking assistance. They do not guarantee detection or avoid every hazard.
Hornet offers Active Driving Assist and surround-view camera equipment.
Towing and the complete purchase calculation
The specification lists up to 2,000 pounds towing when properly equipped.
Request the individual vehicle's written price and equipment, then separate trade allowance, payoff, APR, term and optional products. Apply for Hornet financing through our finance center. Add installation if needed, energy, insurance, tires and maintenance so the GT-versus-R/T decision concerns the whole ownership routine, not an unsupported starting-price card or a payment alone.

Questions to settle before choosing
How is the Performance and Handling on the 2024 Dodge Hornet?
The GT combines a 268-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo engine with a nine-speed automatic and AWD; R/T uses a different plug-in system rated at 288 combined horsepower. Compare the actual versions through ordinary driving. Keep equipment and tire condition attached to the selected car rather than describe GT with R/T's PowerShot or electric-range features.
Where can I test drive the 2024 Dodge Hornet, near Cape Cod, MA?
Test drive the Hornet at Premier Cape Cod, 556 Yarmouth Road in Hyannis. Contact the team with the selected powertrain and the cargo or charging questions you need answered.
Can I buy a Hornet online after testing it on Cape Cod?
Yes. Premier Personalization, Pure & Simple supports a showroom visit followed by online buying. Keep the chosen GT or R/T equipment sheet, loading results and written terms together as you continue remotely. Premier offers coast-to-coast Dodge Hornet delivery.
Does R/T have the same cargo area as GT?
No. R/T has 22.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 50.5 folded, compared with GT's 27 and 54.7. Discuss your load with our Hornet sales team.
Is 77 MPGe the R/T gasoline fuel economy?
No. MPGe is an energy-equivalence comparison, while R/T's applicable gasoline-operation combined rating is 29 mpg. Ask Premier to keep those modes distinct.
Does all-wheel drive settle winter preparation?
No. Inspect the actual tires, condition and applicable cold-pressure guidance independently of AWD or eAWD. Discuss the vehicle's use with service.
Is PowerShot part of the gasoline GT specification?
No. PowerShot belongs to the R/T plug-in performance discussion, with its own operating conditions. Premier can help with Hornet GT and R/T powertrain questions. GT's 2.0-liter turbo and nine-speed automatic should not be combined with the R/T's plug-in range, eAWD description or six-speed transmission to create a mixed vehicle specification.
Can I infer R/T clearance from a GT comparison?
No. The specification lists 6.1 inches for R/T compared with GT's 8 inches, so use the selected powertrain's arrangement. Discuss Hornet ground clearance with Premier Cape Cod.
