Before it jumps into the EV game, Dodge will dip its toe into the electrification waters with a plug-in hybrid.
Stellantis last summer confirmed plans for the arrival of a Dodge plug-in hybrid in 2022, and now we know the vehicle will be a compact called the Hornet.
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis on Tuesday confirmed plans for a summer launch of the Hornet during a presentation announcing Preston Patterson as a brand spokesperson, according to the“I think we’ve actually even said when we get back into the small compact space this summer when we launch the Hornet, we will have a [plug-in hybrid] or variant of that," Kuniskis said.
No further details were mentioned but earlier rumors point to the Hornet being a twin to the recently revealed from fellow Stellantis brand Alfa Romeo. The platform of the Alfa Romeo, and presumably the Dodge, is the same setup underpinning Jeep's Renegade and Compass.And the plug-in hybrid powertrain in the Tonale consists of a 1.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 driving the front wheels and an electric motor driving the rear pear, with the two power sources delivering a combined 272 hp. The Tonale has also been announced with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 that makes 256 hp.
Interestingly, Dodge previously used the Hornet name for a hot hatch concept from 2006. The name dates to the Hudsons of the 1950s and was transferred to American Motors Corp. after the company was formed out of the 1954 merger of Hudson and Nash-Kelvinator. AMC was eventually acquired by Chrysler in 1987.
