Meet the CUV that can do it all. more Performance Unleashed The Hornet isn't just an incredibly powerful compact. It features two separate yet equally innovative powertrains that put it at the top of its class. The conventionally powered GT is driven by a 2.0L Hurricane4 Turbo motor that offers 268 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, which is enough muscle to propel it to 140 miles per hour on the track and make it the fastest vehicle in the CUV segment.

With up to 288 horsepower and a staggering 383 lb-ft of torque at your command, you'll be treated to the fastest 0-60 time in the segment and the most horsepower on offer to boot. The segment-exclusive Powershot feature offers a boost of up to 30 horsepower for up to 15 seconds, making for hair-raising passing maneuvers. Precision Engineering The Hornet's performance goes much deeper than just an outstanding powertrain. The chassis is exquisitely engineered to offer near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution between the front and the rear, making precise maneuvering nearly effortless. Standard all-wheel drive makes the Hornet well-equipped to handle even the gnarliest of inclement weather, while standard torque vectoring ensures excellent grip even in high-g cornering. The available Track Pack Package adds stylish and effective Brembo brakes with four-piston front calipers that can bring the Hornet to a stop quickly and smoothly, making for better safety and enhanced track performance. The R/T trims also offer standard brake-by-wire technology to optimize brakeforce distribution and optimize the amount of friction applied to each wheel. The result? Impressive consistency and precision under almost any conditions. Practicality to Match Its Power The Hornet may offer all the thrills and grins one could hope for on track day, but it's more than equipped for daily driving needs, too. With spacious seating arrangements both front and rear and plenty of room for cargo under the hatch, the Hornet excels at daily driving tasks. Its 27 cubic feet of cargo space make it easy to bring along everyone's belongings, work gear, sports equipment, or instruments. Need to maximize cargo for a big shopping trip or a weekend getaway? Fold down the back seat and be treated to even more cargo capacity, or use its up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity to bring along a boat or camper.
