The Dodge Brand is making moves in the CUV segment with the 2024 Dodge Hornet; the most powerful CUV in its class. With the GT boasting the fastest top speed and the R/T crowned the quickest PHEV Compact Crossover with a launch time of up to 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds, both models are set to get hearts racing. Here’s a close look at the Dodge Hornet: A Powerful Sting In Its Category.
We received the Dodge Hornet R/T for a week, for review purposes, but as usual, all opinions are my own.

Dodge Hornet R/T Hybrid Exterior
Let’s start with the color, which made this Latina Smile: The special color of the Dodge Hornet we had at our home is Hot Tamale, caliente, right?
![hot tamale hornet hot tamale hornet](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Dodge-Hornet-RT-Hybrid-EAWD-576x1024.jpg)
Love the “mean” look and “let’s go for a ride” attitude Dodge brings to the table on an unexpected PHEV version!

Home Charging:
![charging the PHEV Hornet charging the PHEV Hornet](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/PHEV-charging-fast-576x1024.jpg)
It really surprised me how fast it charged at our home charger, giving us 33 miles of full electric charge before seamlessly switching to gas and sometimes depending on how we drove, it would regenerate and stretch that range.
Perfect for power without compromise and the answer to many who are not ready for a full EV experience.

Life With The Dodge Hornet
RoadTrip to NYC
![NYC at night NYC at night](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/NYC--576x1024.jpg)
We took the Dodge Hornet R/T Hybrid to NYC to attend an event and it proved to be the perfect ride to tackle NYC traffic & Jersey Turnpike challenges!

First Time Voting
![Latina voting Latina voting](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Latina-voting-for-the-first-time-576x1024.jpg)
I’ve had the privilege to enjoy life moments with the awesome rides I have been able to review, but since recently becoming a citizen, I took the Dodge Hornet to vote in the primaries for the first time!
Such a special moment, forever linked to this awesome ride! Love when a car becomes a part of a special unforgettable memory!
Those are the best rides, right?
Sharing The Ride With Friends
We took some Brazilian Friends who were visiting to have a snack and buy some Brazilian Goodies in Riverside!
Check out the interesting screen on the navigation map:
![Hornet navigation screen Hornet navigation screen](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/dodge-navigation-map-576x1024.jpg)
Starting with a great snack of coxinha & guarana and shopping for picanha cuts at the Brazilian Butcher are some of my favorite things to do over the weekend!

My First Piano Recital
![going to my piano recital going to my piano recital](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Ride-to-recital-576x1024.jpg)
I took the Dodge to be my ride to my very first piano recital! I started piano a year ago, after never ever having had a music class in my life!
My teacher had a recital with 16 of her students.
Learning piano as an adult is not an easy task, singing and playing is even harder! I can now play about 50 songs in 4 languages and share my joy with friends!
![piano recital piano recital](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/piano-recital-for-latinos-627x1024.jpg)
I sang and played at the concert! It was a proud moment: to be able to accomplish something I set myself to do and the Dodge took me to enjoy this unforgettable experience.
The Dodge Hornet R/T Plus Track and BlackTop EAWD comes with a price of $ 54,325 as seen.
5 year, 60,000 mile warranty and the best: 8 year/100,000 mile high voltage battery & hybrid system to give you the peace of mind to enjoy EV/PHEV life without thinking about your battery life, which is one of the arguments of Latinos who are not ready for EVs!
![beautiful Dodge Hornet beautiful Dodge Hornet](https://trendylatina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Dodge-in-NJ-576x1024.jpg)
Now they have power Latinos Love, Fuel Efficiency we all want and the attitude we would love to see in the new CUVs!
Save for later:

I can’t wait to hear what you think of the Dodge Hornet: A Powerful Sting In Its Category.
Stay tuned for more auto adventures HERE.
As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
The Dodge Hornet has a badass attitude and impressive fuel efficiency!
You did so much and experienced so many memorable events while enjoying this beautiful ride. I too love the color and the interior is really nice looking too….including the dash. I do love Dodge and this new vehicle in their line up is a great-looking car for sure. Love that you voted for the first time using this car as your ride! That is a great memory for sure!
I’ve never seen this Dodge. It’s nice. I love that you’re learning piano!!
I appreciate knowing about the power and efficiency of this car, especially the hybrid capabilities that balance electric and gas seamlessly. It sounds like a great option for families looking for both performance and practicality, like my family!
Such a beautiful vehicle and what a fun experience! Love it!
The hornet reminds me of the old dodge neon. I loved that car but my timing belt snapped and killed the engine. So if the hornet has a timing belt, get that changed before 80k miles. I do like that the hornet has the electric technology too.
That is one fancy car. This would be a car that my husband would love.
I love this vehicle. The red is fabulous. It looks like you had an amazing trip!
