Dodge Welcomes PHEV Hornet To Brotherhood Of Muscle

11-09-23 Tech Talk

~ Recorded Live from RPM News Weekly Studio ~

While some may want to dismiss the launch of a Compact Utility Vehicle with a small 1.3-liter engine as hardly noteworthy, Tech Talk host Rick DeMeis has found quite a bit to crow about with the all-new Dodge Hornet PHEV. Quick, poised and efficient, the Hornet PHEV may seem an unlikely candidate for Dodge’s Brotherhood of Muscle, but in our host’s experience it certainly passed the test.
Short of taking your own test drive, listen in for all the details and more.

2024 Dodge Hornet R/T Plus PHEV

“The new addition of the Dodge Hornet R/T to the Brotherhood of Muscle is a first step in how the Dodge brand will transition to the future, biasing electrification for performance and fun, not compliance. Introducing any new member to the pack can sometimes bring some trepidation, but with looks, feel and performance that are pure Dodge, the Hornet R/T fits right into our family. With 288 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, the Hornet R/T can reach 0-60 in just 5.6 seconds, making it the quickest and most powerful utility vehicle in the segment.” ~ Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis

If there’s one thing that our steadfast Tech Talk host, Rick DeMeis, is not, it would be indecisive.

2024 Subaru Impreza RS

“The RS marks the return of the model’s premier enthusiast-focused trim level. The 2.5 RS debuted in 1998 and was the precursor to the WRX in the U.S. Market. The new RS trim level comes standard with a powerful 2.5-liter BOXER engine paired with a Lineartronic CVT featuring an 8-speed manual mode with steering wheel paddle shifters.
“The RS trim offers unique exterior trim elements including RS badging on the front doors and rear hatch; 18-inch alloy wheels in dark gray finish; black finish on the front grille, side spoilers, side mirrors, upgraded LED headlights, and LED fog lights.
“The cabin of the RS is further distinguished by gunmetal and simulated carbon fiber interior trim accents as well as sport front seats in black cloth with red cloth bolsters, and carpeted floormats feature the RS logo.” ~ Subaru of America
