With the launch of Dodge’s new online configurator, shoppers can now spec-out their dream 2023 Hornet. The SUV can currently be configured in GT and GT Plus specification as the plug-in hybrid Hornet R/T has yet to launch. Both the GT and GT Plus feature the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder Hurricane4 engine that delivers 268 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Coupled to this engine is a nine-speed automatic transmission that drives all four wheels.
We specced out a Hornet GT Plus on the
configurator. Among the upgrades it enjoys over the standard model include
navigation, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, premium leather interior,
ventilated and heated front seats with memory function, a sunroof, power
liftgate, and wireless phone charging.
Seven different paint options are
available for the Hornet GT Plus with our personal favorite being Blu Bayou, a US$ 495 option. Three wheel options are then available, consisting of 17-inch
silver wheels, 18-inch black wheels, and 20-inch black wheels, the latter of
which come exclusively with 235/40 all-season tires. Move to the interior and
you will discover that three options are available, consisting of the standard
black full-leather seats, black Alcantara seats, or red full-leather seats as a US$ 495 option.
Three optional packages are also
available. These are the US$ 1,995 GT Blacktop Package, the US$ 2,245 Tech Pack Plus
without Parellel & Perp Park Assist, and a US$ 2,995 Track Pack that adds the
aforementioned 20-inch wheels, red paint brake calipers, sport pedals, dual
mode suspension, a sporty leather steering wheel, and aluminum door sills.
Prices for the 2023 Dodge Hornet GT start
at US$ 29,995 while the GT Plus is available from US$ 35,490.
