2023 Dodge Hornet GT Review // $30,000 Turbo Machine
The 2023 Dodge Hornet GT ($40,190 starting in Canada, $31,830 in the US) is a brand new compact crossover with a torquey 2.0L turbo ‘Hurricane4’ engine. Dodge proudly displays that the Hornet GT is the quickest and most powerful CUV for the price. With 268 horsepower and 295 lb ft of torque, combined with an eLSD and all wheel drive, the Hornet GT certainly looks to make a performance statement.

Alfa Romeo + Dodge = Master reliability
Alfa isn’t too bad anymore honestly! But I do want more people to continue believing they’re unreliable so that we can pickup used Quadrifoglios for cheap 😂😂😂 keep telling people they’re break! You’re doing Gods work

Two negatives cancel out lol
Didn’t another YouTube channel have one of these and it broke down instantly…
Saying it twice doesn’t make it true😊
Every time James says “And I’m James” it feels like Thomas is the dad and James is the excited kid getting to drive his first sweet car.🤣
😂
James’ face when he launched the Honnet cracked me up.
Every time 😂
Every time Dodge comes out with a new small vehicle, people are hopeful. But then realiity sets after year 2, and we all know this will share fate with Caliber and Dart. RIP Hornet.
Not entirely fair, since those two buckets were rushed into production by government mandate after a massive corporate bail out. They never would’ve had a chance to be good
I have a 2015 Dart that I drive an hour to and from work five days a week.. they were supposed to have come with 9-speed automatic transmissions, I often wonder how much better it would be if it wasn’t rushed to production. It is a good car that could have been better with time, not unlike any other thing in this world
yeah almost everything dodge has been shit quality, among the worst in the world for the price. They also have been known to depreciate in value faster than almost any other make. So will be interesting to see what happens now
Right? There’s value and money in cutting costs, using cheap materials, and not investing in reliability. Sometimes, a company needs to do this. But when it’s the whole business model forever, people lose trust and the company loses money. There’s no reason to trust this or buy this unless you’re okay with having catastrophic issues year 2.
The dart should of been called the neon, it wouldn’t have saved it but maybe it would of had a stronger start.
It’s a good little “normal” car. People forget Dodge have ALWAYS made regular cars and not everything needs to be a Hellcat
This is their new neon, which they’ve always had in some capacity. However! Everything, including this, does in fact need to be a hellcat. Supercharged v8 and all
TFL did a roller slip test on one of these and it completely shut down. It basically panicked and got back into the whom…
I’ve been literally yelling this at people on IG LOL
@TermlessGHM okay so it sucks off-road. I’m sure crossover buyers are going to be devastated by that
@Yissi Biiyte Considering the current market, I’ve seen Raptors, Broncos and Wranglers relegated to being on grocery store and school run duties. Some of them have never even gone slightly off road, just parking lot queens.
You guys consistently nail these videos and make my day so much better
Some might say they toe-nailed it.
🚶♂️🚪
Let’s not forget that during the offroad test that The Fast Lane Car did, the Hornet completely broke and had to be sent back to the dealer for repairs. Brand new, straight from the factory, had barely been driven. And they weren’t beating on it, just doing low RPM roller grip tests. Stellantis products are totally reliable
That’s a myth. Totally unfounded… This is sarcasm… Alfa for the win!
I test drove a base model Hornet, and it had the hardest seats i’ve ever seated on. Literally hard has a wood plank. I guess they’re not the same seats has the upper trims.
The GT is the base model
@Joshua McGarity well, the “base” GT then. It had 17 inch silver wheels with little brakes.
We’re they almost like hard plastic? I’ve encountered those in some newer Jeeps I’ve ridden in. I assumed it was for the intended “outdoorsy” audience to easily clean mud and debris. No clue why they’d be in this though.
The reliability probably sucks, but dang this is a good value proposition
Look at the Jeeps with the 2.0L Turbo. It’s the same engine. The concerns are likely way overblown.
Looks ok but if someone switched out the logo to a Mitsubishi Logo, I’d have believed that, too.
I was just trying to figure out what 90s Jap car the dodge styling department used for their homework.
It looks like an old base lancer that someone threw a hatchback on and put stilts under it
THANK YOU I was thinking the same thing. This is what Mitsubishi should have evolved into instead of their hideous current design direction.
I thought it was a Mitsubishi at first with the 2 red lines
Mitsubishi shares its platform with jeep compass, and Jeep shares its platform with alpha, and alpha shares its platform with dodge. I thinks we are back to a full circle
@Eoin Kenny dodge stealing designs? We gonna ignore that Ford, Toyota and Gm and Honda just to name a few. Completely stole the front bumper from the charger and taillights from dodge? Dodge is usually the first company to come up with a well designed car then the other companies copy and paste. 19+ camaro and Honda accord = front end of the charger. Fords and Lincoln and Toyota stole the taillights on a few cars. That’s what all companies do they copy what’s being successful. Dodge is very popular so they copy them
the worst part of this video is that it ends
Yes I wanted a proper road test.
I recon
No Dodge is the worst part.
@TwoLOUD4DaEars the only time when dodge was the worse is when they made the challenger electric
@TwoLOUD4DaEars why be a hater?
