Inflation may be up, but Dodge must not have gotten the memo. The automaker has just lowered the starting price of its 2025 Hornet, making the sporty subcompact crossover a more tempting option for budget-conscious performance enthusiasts—or those who aren’t keen on the related Alfa Romeo Tonale.
As of March 6, the entry-level GT model now starts at $31,590, a $1,745 drop from the previous price. Meanwhile, pricing for other trims remains unchanged: the GT Plus starts at $36,885, the R/T at $43,240, and the R/T Plus at $48,585. All figures include a $1,595 destination charge.
Despite the price cut, Dodge hasn’t skimped on features for its small luxury SUV. The GT still comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and 17-inch wheels, among other amenities.
Under the hood, the GT lacks the plug-in hybrid system of the R/T models but still packs a punch with its 2.0-liter turbo-4, which delivers 268 hp through a 9-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system. That setup gets the Hornet GT from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
For those craving more performance, the R/T’s plug-in hybrid system bumps power up to 288 hp and offers a short electric-only driving range. But the real excitement is still to come—Dodge has confirmed a new Hornet GLH crossover for later this year. The GLH (“Go Like Hell”) name is a throwback to the Carroll Shelby-influenced Dodge Omni GLH of the 1980s, promising an even hotter version of the Hornet for enthusiasts.
