The Hornet is based on the Jeep Compass platform, as is the Tonale, but different materials make all three look different enough, and the Hornet is aimed at a different customer than the fancier Tonale. The Hornet will have three trims: GT, R/T and PHEV R/T. On the PHEV, Dodge expects 30 miles of pure electric range. Looks wise, the Dodge will clearly be a Mopar muscle machine with a blackout treatment option, mail-slot grille and matte black lower cladding.
The base GT is expected to start under $30,000, which should give Dodge a capable answer to sportier crossovers like the Mazda CX-30 and larger CX-50. Though it did still sell the old Journey crossover into 2020, Dodge hasn’t ever really had any compelling small crossovers before now.”
