The new Hornet's sports car-inspired exterior begins at the front end, which features a downward-sloping hood accented by dual hood scoop vents and sharp character lines. A narrow, rectangular meshed grille and dual narrow, angular, tear-drop-shaped headlights sit beneath the hood. The lower-body fascia consists of angular, three-dimensional elements that include a large, meshed engine vent. A side view reveals an aerodynamic profile. Gentle curves cross both door panels and high-cut wheels, and the entire lower body appears accented by matte fascia. The stylish Hornet's rear has three-dimensional features in addition to a thin band of brake and taillights that traverse across the SUV's width.
The GT and R/T models have fabric and leather upholstered interiors. Leather wraps the steering wheel. Stepping up to the GT Plus or the R/T Plus model adds leather upholstery, along with heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable front seats. Owners also have the option of starting the engine remotely for added cold-weather comfort.
