2024 Dodge Hornet

Vehicle Overview

BOLD, SPIRITED, WELL-EQUIPPED, ONE-OWNER, OFF-LEASE, NONSMOKER, SMALL SIZE, BIG ATTITUDE!

The 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T EAWD brings genuine Dodge attitude to the compact SUV segment, pairing spirited performance with meaningful plug-in efficiency. Finished in a distinctive Acapulco Gold and showing a lightly used 46,424 miles, this Hornet R/T marks Dodge's first electrified performance vehicle, and it doesn't disappoint.

This Hornet's EAWD system takes a genuinely different approach to all-wheel drive, with the turbocharged engine powering the front wheels while a dedicated electric motor drives the rear, giving owners confident traction along with genuine electric-only capability at the back axle.

Why Shoppers Buy This Model
