The Spring Festival keeps changing
It has to be said that with the surging arrival of the electrification era, it is indeed impossible for all automakers to quickly adapt to the pace of transformation; However, it seems that it is also feasible to start with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a small-displacement engine to undertake the transformation goal. No, the American brand Dodge, which is very good at creating large-displacement "muscle cars", has adopted the facelift of the SUV Hornet (Hopnet) and added the R T version of the plug-in hybrid system composed of a small-displacement engine. So, how does the Dodge Hornet R T perform? Below, with a set of its overseas real shots, let's take a look at it first.
In terms of appearance, although the Dodge Hornet is a relatively entry-level compact SUV, its front face can create a "muscular" visual effect under the design of the blackened double-layer grille and the three-section air intake layout of the front surround. The choreographed headlamp style and the red logo with double slashes continue to deepen the sharpness and sportiness of the front face.
On the side of the car, because the Dodge Hornet and Alfa Romeo Tonale are products under the same platform, and they are also regarded as the "sister cars" of Alfa Romeo Tonale in the North American market; As a result, the Alfa Romeo can be seen in the overall stance of the body and in the design of the petal-shaped wheels. In addition, thanks to its large petal-shaped wheels, blackened treatment and built-in red brake calipers, it also gives its side face a more powerful sporty color.
At the rear of the car, the winding and undulating through-type taillights can cut out the sharp layering of the tail. The uniquely designed rear surround and built-in double-hole exhaust once again enhance the overall sporty look.
Looking at the interior of the car, the interior layout of the new car does not have many highlights. However, the combination of LCD instrument cluster and floating mid-range, with large paddle shifters, can also bring some youthful and sporty color and a certain degree of technological atmosphere.
In terms of power, the Hornet R T will be equipped with 13T four-cylinder turbocharged engine + electric motor plug-in hybrid system; It has a combined maximum power of 214 kW and a combined maximum torque of 519 Nm, which is mated to an Aisin 6AT gearbox. It has an all-electric range of 51 kilometers and a 0-100 acceleration range of 56 seconds. In addition, the GT version of the Hornet is equipped with a 20T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm; It is mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox and has a 6The ability to break 100 in 5 seconds.
