Hornet: Dodge’s first plug-in hybrid entry, which offers more than 30 miles — or about 50 kilometres — of electric range, started arriving at dealerships this summer. The electrified variant has the R/T tag.
The compact crossover’s conventional gasoline-powered version, the GT, starts below US$30,000 in the United States — but just above C$40,000 in Canada — and was the first to reach stores, earlier in the year.
The Hornet is a sibling of the Alfa Romeo Tonale. Dodge’s design unit took the Tonale’s foundation and added an aggressive spin with inspiration from the muscular Challenger, Charger and Durango.
