Granite Crystal aluminum wheels, black headlamp bezels, black grille surround with black crosshair, and a black bumper. The Dart SE Rallye Appearance Group includes 17-in. The Blacktop package is now available on the Dart GT. In the meantime, here are five things to know about the 2016 Dodge Dart:ġ) Dodge has reshuffled the trim levels on the 2016 Dart. While the Tonale and Hornet share body panels, the Hornet sees an entirely revised front fascia and follows the muscular approach Dodge has shown with the latest Charger and Durango.Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently announced the discontinuation of the Dodge Dart following the 2016 model year, so interested shoppers had better act fast. The fact that this shares a platform with the Tonale probably went into the decision during the design process, but the final results work well. Instead of taking a loud route, the design team at Dodge opted for a cleaner approach without lots of creases or creative sheetmetal. Otherwise, the Hornet is relatively reserved.
If that’s not enough, the folks at Direct Connection will support a GLH kit to give your Hornet some retro Dodge flair and more aggressive styling.
Alongside the uprated dampers, the track pack features four-piston Brembo brakes and Alcantara microsuede seat inserts. The Hornet GT sports a standard set of Koni dampers, with dual-stage dampers available in the track pack. Though the Hornet does more than just offer hot-hatch-esque speed, it’s also looking for the right handling. These potent powertrains might not make up for the looming Charger and Challenger departure, but they do show that Dodge still cares about straight-line performance. This hybrid also uses a push-to-pass system called PowerShot, which adds another 25 hp and shaves the 0-60 time to 6.1 seconds. The hybrid system uses a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which can feed all-electric power for 30 miles. While the 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed automatic, the hybrid power comes from a starter-generator mounted on the engine and an electric motor that feeds the rear axle. Dodge hasn’t finalized the output of the base powertrain yet, but 265 hp represents almost 10 hp more than the base-model Alfa Romeo Tonale.ĭodge will also offer the Hornet with a plug-in hybrid powertrain under its R/T guise, which offers 285 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. In base GT trim, the Dodge Hornet’s 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 sends at least 265 horsepower and 295 lb-ft through a nine-speed transmission to the standard all-wheel-drive system. Based on the Alfa Romeo Tonale, the Dodge Hornet helps put the brand on the map for mass-market consumers but also gives CUV buyers a taste of what Dodge is about: horsepower and fun. Looking at market trends, Dodge is throwing its hat back into the small car game with the Hornet (following the Dart's 2016 departure). Compact crossovers are everywhere, and it's not by accident: People love them, small and large.
