The 2025 Dodge Hornet: A Compact Crossover Redefining Performance

The 2025 Dodge Hornet is a fire-breathing predator that has arrived to dominate the compact crossover market with a level of ferocity that borders on the supernatural. Zeigler CDJR Plainwell in Plainwell, MI, is the epicenter of this automotive revolution where raw power meets cutting-edge technology in a vehicle designed to leave the competition in the dust. Drivers can seize the reins of the gas-powered GT or the electrified R/T, both of which offer all-wheel-drive capability that grips the asphalt with the intensity of a starving hunter. You might be tearing through the streets of Plainwell, MI, or launching into a cross-country odyssey, but this machine ensures every second behind the wheel is a pulse-pounding explosion of adrenaline.

Performance That Packs a Punch

Gas-Powered GT: Raw Power and Speed

The 2025 Dodge Hornet GT is a absolute monster of performance, starting at a aggressive MSRP of $31,585. This savage machine is armed with a 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that screams with 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard with 17" silver aluminum wheels wrapped in 215/60R17 tires that provide a relentless connection to the road. The 9-speed automatic transmission works in perfect harmony with the standard all-wheel drive to ensure that every ounce of power is translated into pure, unadulterated speed.

The Refined Aggression of the GT Plus

Step up to the GT Plus for a MSRP of $37,475, a price that secures a interior draped in black leather and a power sunroof that lets the sky witness your conquest. This trim upgrades the stance with 18" Graphite aluminum wheels and 225/55R18 tires, ensuring the vehicle looks as lethal as it performs. It is one of the most comprehensive packages for drivers who demand luxury without sacrificing the soul of a muscle car.

Hybrid R/T: Efficiency Meets Thrill

The 2025 Dodge Hornet R/T is Dodge's first plug-in hybrid masterpiece, starting at $41,645 and delivering a staggering total of 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Its 1.3 L turbocharged engine works alongside a electric motor to propel you from 0 to 60 in a heart-stopping 5.6 seconds. This electrified beast offers a all-electric range of 33 miles for silent city stalking and a total combined range of 360 miles for long-distance dominance. It sits aggressively on 18" Graphite aluminum wheels with 225/55R18 tires, while the segment-exclusive PowerShot mode provides a 30 hp boost that will pin you to your seat.

The Ultimate R/T Plus

For the driver who refuses to compromise, the R/T Plus stands at the top of the mountain with a MSRP of $47,485. This trim is a sanctuary of high-speed luxury, featuring a 14-speaker Harman Kardon® premium sound system and a hands-free power liftgate. It shares the same lethal 1.3 L hybrid powertrain and 18" wheels as the standard R/T but adds the convenience of a wireless charging pad and GPS navigation to ensure you never lose your way while hunting for the next horizon.

Interior Comfort and Advanced Technology

Designed for Driver-Centric Convenience

The cockpit of the 2025 Dodge Hornet is a high-tech nerve center designed to put the world at your fingertips. A standard 12.3" digital cockpit instrument cluster provides critical data with surgical precision while the 10.25" Uconnect® 5 touchscreen display serves as the brain of this mechanical beast. The screen is tilted toward the driver because Dodge knows that in the heat of the moment, every fraction of a second counts. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility come standard, ensuring your digital life is integrated seamlessly into your driving experience.

Premium Features and Connectivity

The GT Plus and R/T Plus trims elevate the experience with leather-trimmed seats that are both heated and ventilated to keep you focused on the drive. The cabin is further enhanced by the presence of a Harman Kardon® sound system that delivers 465 watts of sonic fury through 14 speakers. Bluetooth® connectivity and SiriusXM® satellite radio ensure that your soundtrack is as legendary as your vehicle's performance. You are always connected and always in control, regardless of whether you are navigating the heart of Plainwell or exploring the unknown.

Safety That Inspires Confidence

Standard Safety Systems

Dodge has packed this vehicle with a arsenal of safety tech because even a predator needs a shield. Standard features include Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Path Detection, and Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking. Lane Keep Assist and Pedestrian/Cyclist Emergency Braking work tirelessly to ensure that your path remains clear and your focus remains on the thrill of the road.

Optional Tech Pack for Total Awareness

For those who demand total tactical awareness, the available Tech Pack adds a 360-degree surround-view camera system and the Highway Assist System.
