Just seeing this after owning a '24 GT with track pack since Dec. . You guys gave a very respectable review and images my thoughts as well. The '23s gave owners a lot of electrical glitches and thus, gave them bad reviews. My '24 has been of no issue to me. I am getting 30-34 mpg. As you, it makes me smile while driving. Thanks for the unbiased review
@johnbeckham1483 as with any new model, there will always be unforseen issues once it's released to the public. Having to have the latest and greatest always comes with uncertainty. Patience is a virtue

I preordered one, requested the blacktop package, but they ordered without. All I can tell you is that even after waiting for 7 months, I laughed and walked away. The non blacktop package wheels are so hilariously dumb looking, and there practically are no aftermarket options that fit this bolt pattern and offset.
Dodge dealer in Morgan Hill, CA. has a blacked out Hornet on the lot now. I saw it a couple days ago Wednesday when having the oil changed in my Challenger RT.
Pricing on these are very attractive in California for the hybrid due to the govt rebates. Dodge was offering a lease last month with approx 4K down out of pocket and a payment of approx $225 a month. That was the RT with track plus package, the model is very loaded even 20" wheels Alacantara leather power/heated seats etc. My friend picked one up and for that payment it's amazing!! Must admit, like the vehicle much more than expected.
I’m a molar guy never had problems with any of my cars jest basic items going out my Chrysler 300 with 88 thousand miles on it 2017 still runs great looked at this model in Northern California of course it starts out at 43 grand and r/ t close to 50 grand to bad cause I’d be in that in a heartbeat!!
The base model starts out at just over $30K, not $40K. A GT + with Track Pack should be around $40K. That's a lot of car for the money compared to the competition.
I believe this is the same drivetrain that’s in my Jeep Cherokee less 2 HP. Great engine but noisy as hell and that 9 speed transmission sucks. I have to say after 50,000 miles it has been reliable and the gas mileage is better than advertised.
Book says 87 minimum, but 91+ recommended to achieve maximum engine performance... I ran first six tanks alternating between 87 & 93...during winter months, no noticable difference. Stayed with 87...put in 93 last week to try..,it likes it during summer months...
I think the Hornet is the right vehicle for Dodge. Sure, who doesn't want a Hellcat in their driveway(or 3 like me😂)? But in terms of what buyers are needing right now and the fact that CUVs dominate, they had to do something to resuscitate the brand. Yes, it is pricey but so is a Mazda CX-30/CX-5/CX-50 in comparable trims. The R/T may be in fact the way to go because it qualifies for the PHEV tax credit, thus lowering its price against a the GT. And its performance and fuel economy would be superior. I love how unique it is over the dullards of the class.
@@austinkowalski5512 awesome! I was curious about things like road and wind noise? With it being based on the luxurious Tonale, I'd imagine it is above average in isolation in the class. But I'm sure its a hoot to drive!
@@hellkitty1014 Anyone who wants "isolation" in their vehicle shouldn't buy an Alfa, even a re-badged one like this. Alfa doesn't pipe in engine noises through the speakers like other manufacturers do. Alfa assumes their drivers actually want to hear the engine working.
The cooling system is extremely complicated and cooling lines run from the front engine compartment, all the way back to the rear battery and then all the way back in a loop. Ask any mechanic about how complicated and expensive this vehicle is for any type of repairs. Oh, and this is lol’ble…. All of the clamps throughtout the vehicle are one time usable. If you have to remove a clamp to replace any of the 100’s of hoses, you need a new proprietary clamp. Only dealers will be able to properly service the car.
Dude, you're talking about the Hornet R/T, which is plug-in hybrid. This review is of the Hornet GT +, which is a 2L turbo engine. Re. the R/T, of course the cooling lines run back to the battery; how else do you think it can be kept cooled? A cooler battery = more power. There's no reason such a cooling system should be problematic to service, assuming the technician knows what they are doing. Speaking of which, anyone who takes a complex hybrid vehicle to a corner mechanic needs their head read. Only a dealer will have trained and certified technicians to properly service a hybrid vehicle, whatever the make. Duh.
I have heard about the cooling lines running all the way to the rear & then returning back to the front of the vehicle in a loop! Clamps have been reported to leak! This is primarily a problem with the Hornet RT Hybrid version! That is why I will take the Hornet GT version!
I was just about to say that. This coming from someone that used to have a 2020 Dodge Journey. I kept it until about 35K miles and decided to trade it in for something else. After hearing about the issues Dodge tends to have, I wanted to get rid of that ride lol. This Hornet looks alright, but I wouldn't spend one dollar on the thing myself.
Gladly take that chance. The 05 magnum I bought new in 04 is still holding up fine with 289k miles. Only issue it has was the gear shifter needed replacing a few years ago because it seized. Engine, transmission, electronics, all fine.
I go by the numbers of recalls over the last 5 years , not what I think ....to defend Dodge is silly ...Dodge has nothing but problems and will probably continue ...I'll take companies with proven records ....you pay your dime and take your chances ...good luck with that .@@dtay8913

This was cool years ago but really GM Tesla, Ford, and Nissan do the same thing with or without traffic day or night at hwy speeds oh you can't look at the screen in the console but you can benefit from there systems more
I've sat in the first one delivered in Houston, the interior feels very luxurious, way better than most Dodges. It maybe doesn't show on camera, but like the center LCD is higher resolution than I've seen in any recent competing products for example, with zero lag on the new uconnect OS. If you have an Alfa Romeo Tonale nearby and sit in that, its very similar to the Dodge.
36 miles on pure electric is hollow praise considering early 1900's electric cars were going 100 miles on a charge. And nobody wants to plug their car in when they get home. Clunky trany 😂 for 30k? And 50 grand? I hurt myself laughing. On that note great review for a polished Italian turd. You did your best guys.
If you are looking at a Hornet, dont buy it. Way too many issues. I have been waiting for the radar since I bought it, possible ETA of Apr some time. Thought dealership had it fixed with an update, nope. Transmissions shifts very hard going in and out of 2nd gear with it getting into other gears. My Hornet is now at (not the dealership i bought it from) a dealership because the battery dies overnight. Could jump start it because the theft deterant system in it to where I couldnt even hook up a code reader, it says manufactorer has it locked out. The battery died the first time this past Friday morning. I was behind schedule by an hour, once it got jumped that day, the only day it was able to be jumped, some dumbass ran into cones and threw them into my lane and now I have damage to the front end because of it. I have regretted trading in my 2019 Ram Warlock edition. This vehicle is not worth the heartache and after reading the Hornet owners page, sounds like a lot of buybacks are starting to happen.
Hint: get the dealer to install a new, fully charged battery and most of your problems will disappear. Like many other new cars with lots of fancy electronic systems, your Hornet needs a fully charged battery to function properly. These cars have a long journey across the Atlantic from the factory, so the batteries become discharged and then start to fail. Your dealer should have checked and replaced the battery before delivery.
@@davidturgeon2087 I fully understand. I work as a customer advocate for a semi truck dealer. We dont even chance sending out a new vehicle with old batteries. The funny thing is, the dealership I bought it from, owns the same dealership I work for lol.
Direct injection is a scam by the manufacturers who are making these engines on the cheap, which you cannot fix the carbon buildup on the valves, but they use direct injection anyways, in order to meet government mileage standards, but the customer gets screwed.
I test-drove the GT Plus a couple of days ago: great acceleration, road feel, and steering. However, the major drawback that will prevent me from buying this car, which had promised to be right up my alley specs-and price-wise, is unbelievably poor ERGONOMIC design. I'm small, and yet, when I raised the seat all the way, which is my must seating position, I felt hemmed in. If you don't like to raise the seat, you'll have a hard time getting out because of the steering wheel sitting too low and being in your way, so you'll have to raise the wheel every time before exiting. Getting out of the car was hard because my behind, despite being skinny, was getting stuck in the vertical ,"sporty" side of the seat, which is meant to envelop your body while you're driving. Also, the combination of the leatherette and plastic material on the seat acted like Velcro during the exit from the car. There's more. When you open the door and try to to get in, you have to be very careful because you might seriously bump your head on the pillar between the driver's side window and the windshield. I've been shopping for and buying cars for decades, but I've never seen such an injury-prone ingress design flaw before. This is just another example of how car makers shoot themselves in the foot by not using common sense and doing enough customer research before putting a vehicle on the market.
Yes, I've found that driver ingress and egress is one of the car's major downsides. Through experience I've found that lowering the seat height using the power seat button before exiting helps getting out and back in a lot. Once seated, just use the seat memory button on the door to reset the seat to your preferred driving position. This works well for me.
I love the hornet and I would get if it wasn’t a dodge. The fact that car industry usually don’t get it right the first generation but only time will tell in a couple year when I try to get on.
It’s not worth what are asking for it should no more than 28k I never seen any of them on the road because nobody buying them especially the phev I don’t trust dodge like that I’d get a rav4 prime over the hornet ijs
Avoid this car because the engine is direct injection, which means the valves will get coated with carbon residue and there is no easy fix for this defect.
Hi, Drew and Masan you both look cool in every var review of this Dodge Hornet looking great but I got a little disappointed about the Dodge has used hard plastic inside the cabin we can understand that price-wise dodge has done a good job however I've never seen this 35 thousands price range 2.l turbo inline-four nine-speed automatic transmission making 268 hp 295 pound-feet of torque which is awesome I liked this car a lot dodge spice up this segment than other segments thanks

@@2steaksandwiches665your point is fair and valid for sure. I think they both deserved a little more differentiation. Alfa has a true racing pedigree, and Dodge is all about brute performance. They should've given both their own identity.

It’s not a true all wheel drive. The gas engine is only connected to the front wheels. The rear wheels only power by battery.
Dude, again you are talking about the R/T plug-in hybrid version. The GT ICE version tested here is all wheel drive.
