There's also a gas-only Hornet that starts around $30,000, and it's offered with similar features and options.

With Dodge about to enter a new "electrifed performance" era, the Hornet leads the way when the PHEV hits dealers next spring starting around $40,000.

The Hornet is a subcompact SUV that shares a platform and other parts with the Alfa Romeo

turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that makes 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Dodge estimates the GT will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 140 mph.

The Hornet R/T is the plug-in hybrid. It combines a turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four, six-speed automatic, and a 121-hp electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The total system output is 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features a "PowerStop" function that delivers an extra 25 horsepower and instant torque for 15-second bursts. While its top speed is limited to a lower 128 mph, it should be quicker than its nonhybrid counterpart. Dodge estimates the PHEV will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds.

The Hornet R/T's lithium-ion battery pack has a 12.0-kWh useable capacity, and with its 7.2-kW onboard charger, Dodge estimates a Level 2 connection can refill the battery in about 2.5 hours. While we're told it'll have an electric-only driving range of around 30 miles

Dodge says the 2023 Hornet GT starts at $29,995 before destination, so we expect its actual starting MSRP to be around $31,000. The same goes for the R/T, which is priced at $39,995
