Dodge Hornet PHEV: The Plug-In Hybrid That’s Built to Perform — And Save You Money
If you’re looking for a vehicle that blends power, performance, and serious fuel savings, the Dodge Hornet PHEV is built for you. This plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is more than just a stylish crossover — it’s a smart investment for drivers who want better fuel economy, lower emissions, and more cash in their pocket.
In this post, we’ll explore the real-world cost savings of driving a PHEV vs gas, and why the Dodge Hornet PHEV is quickly becoming a top choice for Ontario drivers.
What Makes the Dodge Hornet PHEV Different?
The Dodge Hornet PHEV combines a 1.3L turbocharged engine with an electric motor to produce 285 horsepower and a whopping 383 lb-ft of torque. That’s the most powerful compact utility vehicle in its class — with all-wheel drive standard.
But the real game-changer? Electric-only driving range of up to 53 km. That’s enough for most daily commutes — without using a drop of gas.
PHEV vs Gas: Real-World Cost Comparison
Wondering how much money you can actually save by switching to a PHEV?
Let’s break it down:
| Fuel Type | Cost per KM | 40 KM/Day (Monthly) | Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas (Avg 14¢–17¢/km) | $0.14–$0.17 | $48–$68 | $576–$816 |
| Hornet PHEV (2¢–4¢/km Electric) | $0.02–$0.04 | $14–$28 | $168–$336 |
That’s a potential savings of over $400/year, just by plugging in your vehicle instead of filling it up. And with rising fuel prices, that gap only grows.
