The 2025 Dodge Hornet continues to make waves in the compact utility segment, delivering impressive capability through a mix of power, handling, and practical utility. With a finely-tuned powertrain and a wide range of performance-oriented features, the Hornet stands out as more than just a stylish crossover: It has plenty of capability, as well! Below, the team here at Oxford Dodge has highlighted everything drivers need to know about the 2025 Dodge Hornet’s utility.

Turbocharged Power

At the heart of the Hornet’s capability are its two available powertrains. The standard 2.0L Hurricane 4 turbocharged inline-four engine produces 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, offering quick acceleration and responsive power delivery. On the road, this translates to smooth driving dynamics and spirited acceleration when it’s needed. This SUV features a launch time of 0-96.5 km/h in 6.5 seconds!

How Much Can the 2025 Dodge Hornet Tow?

The 2025 Dodge Hornet’s Hurricane 4 Turbo Engine provides drivers with a maximum towing capacity of 907 kg. This is more than enough power for lightweight trailers, and smaller boats! With the available PowerShot feature (new for 2025), drivers can enhance the vehicle’s power output for 15 seconds for an additional jolt of power when it’s called for.

Sharp Performance and Handling

The 2025 Dodge Hornet comes with several performance-oriented modes and features that make it the perfect SUV for performance enthusiasts. The available Sport Mode improves the vehicle’s responsiveness, engaging the electronic slip differential to maximize performance. The 2025 Hornet also features Dynamic Torque Vectoring, enhancing balance and stability when turning and driving on curved roads.
