Fully Loaded Dodge Hornet GT Plus Is A $45,000 Steal
The 2023 Dodge Hornet configurator is up and running for the pure combustion variants.
The online configurator for the highly-anticipated 2023 Dodge Hornet has gone live, showcasing the base GT and GT Plus derivatives. The plug-in hybrid models are only slated for sale in spring 2023, so will likely be added to the roster at a later date for you to play around with. In the meantime, we're able to configure what Dodge calls the gateway to Dodge muscle and the models that will likely make up the bulk of the sales for the new crossover.
With insane demand for the compact crossover, speccing one may be much easier than actually getting one any time soon, though. But even fully maxed out, the Hornet GT Plus will likely remain affordable, as we were only able to spec one up to $44,420.
As promised, the Hornet is the fastest, quickest, most potent sub-$30,000 compact crossover in America. A base GT has an MSRP of $29,995, while the more luxurious GT Plus starts at $34,995. These prices do not include the $1,595 destination charge, so the reality is the Hornet is the fastest, quickest, and most powerful for $30k-ish.
Not that it matters because the Hornet remains a performance bargain. The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 265 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic gearbox sends that power to an all-wheel-drive system with standard torque vectoring. While there are several rivals in the same price segment, the Mazda CX-30 is the closest thing to a direct competitor, though you could also make a case for the CX-5. To get turbocharged power in the CX-30, expect to pay just under $34,000.
Whichever way you look at it, the Hornet might be the best value-for-money car currently on sale.
