Dodge Hornet: which version to buy — 1.3 AT vs 2.0 AT
If you are choosing a Dodge Hornet, the decision is not between generations. The catalogue lists 1 generation, in production from 2022-08-01, body SUV 5-doors, and 2 versions: 1.3 AT and 2.0 AT. Both are AWD, both use an Automatic gearbox, both sit on Independent, spring suspension front and rear, and both use Ventilated disc brakes at both axles with 156 mm ground clearance.
Dodge Hornet: which version to buy — 1.3 AT vs 2.0 AT
If you are choosing a Dodge Hornet, the decision is not between generations. The catalogue lists 1 generation, in production from 2022-08-01, body SUV 5-doors, and 2 versions: 1.3 AT and 2.0 AT. Both are AWD, both use an Automatic gearbox, both sit on Independent, spring suspension front and rear, and both use Ventilated disc brakes at both axles with 156 mm ground clearance. The split is powertrain: Hybrid 1.3 AT versus Gasoline 2.0 AT. The numbers below are the only measured differences; fuel use, CO2, eco class, and wheel size are not measured for either version.
Dodge Hornet which version to buy
1.3 AT is the quicker, stronger, heavier Hybrid. It makes 288 hp (211 kW) and 519 Nm from 1332 cc. 0–100 km/h is 6.1 s. Top speed is 206 km/h. Kerb weight is 1875 kg. Gross weight is 2417 kg. Tank is 42 L. Gearbox is Automatic with 6 speeds.
2.0 AT is the lighter Gasoline car with the higher top speed. It makes 268 hp (197 kW) and 400 Nm from 1995 cc. 0–100 km/h is 6.5 s. Top speed is 225 km/h. Kerb weight is 1600 kg. Gross weight is 2165 kg. Tank is 51 L. Gearbox is Automatic with 9 speeds.
Arithmetic on those figures:
- Power: 1.3 AT has 20 hp and 14 kW more than 2.0 AT (288 − 268; 211 − 197).
- Torque: 1.3 AT has 119 Nm more (519 − 400).
- 0–100: 1.3 AT is 0.4 s quicker (6.5 − 6.1).
- Top speed: 2.0 AT is 19 km/h higher (225 − 206).
- Kerb weight: 1.3 AT is 275 kg heavier (1875 − 1600).
- Gross weight: 1.3 AT is 252 kg heavier (2417 − 2165).
- Payload (gross − kerb): 1.3 AT 542 kg (2417 − 1875); 2.0 AT 565 kg (2165 − 1600); 2.0 AT carries 23 kg more.
- Tank: 2.0 AT holds 9 L more (51 − 42).
- Displacement: 2.0 AT is 663 cc larger (1995 − 1332).
- Power per litre: 1.3 AT 216.2 hp/L (288 / 1.332); 2.0 AT 134.3 hp/L (268 / 1.995). The Hybrid packs 81.9 hp more per litre.
- Weight per horsepower (kerb / hp): 1.3 AT 6.51 kg/hp (1875 / 288); 2.0 AT 5.97 kg/hp (1600 / 268). The Gasoline car is 0.54 kg/hp lighter relative to output.
Buy 1.3 AT if the measured 0–100 time, peak horsepower, and peak torque matter more than mass and tank size. Buy 2.0 AT if you want the higher top speed, the lighter kerb and gross figures, the larger tank, and more payload. There is no third version and no second generation in this data to split the choice further.
Generations compared: what 1 generation actually changed
There is 1 generation (1 generation), start 2022-08-01, stop not measured (still listed without an end date). Body is SUV 5-doors. Version count is 2. No restyling row exists in the data, so there is no facelift to treat as a separate generation and no year-to-year hardware change to tabulate. Everything you can choose is inside this one generation: 1.3 AT and 2.0 AT, both from 2022-08-01, both without a stop date.
That means “which generation” is not a buying question for the Dodge Hornet. The buying question is only 1.3 AT versus 2.0 AT. Shared chassis numbers that do not help you pick a side: ground clearance 156 mm on both; front and rear suspension Independent, spring on both; front brakes Ventilated disc and rear brakes Disc ventilated on both; drive AWD on both; engine position Front, transverse on both; cylinders 4, layout Inline, valves per cylinder 4, boost Turbo, injection Direct injection (direct) on both; fuel labelled 92 on both.
Engine specs: 1.3 AT Hybrid vs 2.0 AT Gasoline
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | cc | Fuel type | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Speeds | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3 AT | 288 | 211 | 519 | 1332 | Hybrid | 4 | Inline | Turbo | Automatic | 6 | AWD |
| 2.0 AT | 268 | 197 | 400 | 1995 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | Turbo | Automatic | 9 | AWD |
1.3 AT engine detail: Hybrid, 1332 cc, 4 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), compression 10.5, bore × stroke 70 x 86.5, fuel 92. Power 288 hp / 211 kW; torque 519 Nm. rpm for power and torque: not measured.
2.0 AT engine detail: Gasoline, 1995 cc, 4 Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, Turbo, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), compression 10, bore × stroke 84 x 90, fuel 92. Power 268 hp / 197 kW; torque 400 Nm. rpm for power and torque: not measured.
Compression is 0.5 higher on 1.3 AT (10.5 − 10). Bore and stroke are smaller on 1.3 AT (70 x 86.5 versus 84 x 90). The Hybrid still out-powers the larger Gasoline unit by 20 hp and out-torques it by 119 Nm because specific output is 216.2 hp/L versus 134.3 hp/L.
Gearbox is the other hardware split: 1.3 AT is Automatic 6; 2.0 AT is Automatic 9. That is 3 extra ratios on 2.0 AT. Drive is AWD on both, so you are not choosing 2WD versus AWD.
Performance, mpg, and what is not measured
0–100 km/h: 1.3 AT 6.1 s; 2.0 AT 6.5 s. The Hybrid is 0.4 s quicker despite 275 kg more kerb weight. Peak power and especially peak torque (519 Nm versus 400 Nm) line up with that gap.
Top speed: 2.0 AT 225 km/h; 1.3 AT 206 km/h. The Gasoline version is 19 km/h faster at the top even though it has 20 hp less. If your use case is a higher measured maximum speed rather than a shorter 0–100 time, 2.0 AT is the one with the figure.
Fuel consumption city: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT. Fuel consumption highway: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT. Fuel consumption combined / mpg: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT. CO2: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT. Eco class: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT.
You cannot pick a Hornet on mpg from this catalogue. 1.3 AT is labelled Hybrid and 2.0 AT is labelled Gasoline, but there is no city, highway, or mixed litre figure to turn that label into a consumption ranking. Tank size is measured and does differ: 42 L on 1.3 AT, 51 L on 2.0 AT. Range itself is not measured because consumption is not measured.
Dimensions, weight, and tank
Wheel sizes: not measured for 1.3 AT; not measured for 2.0 AT. Ground clearance is the same: 156 mm on both, so ride height does not pick a version.
Kerb weight: 1.3 AT 1875 kg; 2.0 AT 1600 kg — 275 kg extra on the Hybrid. Gross weight: 1.3 AT 2417 kg; 2.0 AT 2165 kg — 252 kg extra on the Hybrid. Payload: 542 kg on 1.3 AT, 565 kg on 2.0 AT.
If you care about how much mass you move every kilometre, 2.0 AT is the lighter car in both kerb and gross. If you care about how much extra load the plate allows, 2.0 AT still has the larger payload by 23 kg. The Hybrid’s extra 20 hp and 119 Nm do not buy a higher payload; they buy a 0.4 s quicker 0–100 at a 275 kg kerb penalty.
Tank: 42 L 1.3 AT, 51 L 2.0 AT. The Gasoline car carries 9 L more fuel. Combined with not measured consumption, that is a capacity fact, not a range fact.
Weight per horsepower again: 6.51 kg/hp on 1.3 AT, 5.97 kg/hp on 2.0 AT. On a kg-per-hp basis the Gasoline 2.0 AT is the more tightly matched car; on a seconds-to-100 basis the Hybrid 1.3 AT still wins.
Problems, reliability, and what the data does not cover
Problems and reliability are not measured in this dataset. There is no failure rate, no warranty term, no recall count, and no service-interval figure for 1.3 AT or 2.0 AT. Do not treat Hybrid versus Gasoline as a reliability ranking here: the only measured differences are the spec numbers above.
What you can say without inventing faults:
- 1.3 AT is the more complex power label (Hybrid) with the smaller tank (42 L) and the higher kerb weight (1875 kg).
- 2.0 AT is the Gasoline label with the larger displacement (1995 cc), the 9-speed Automatic, and the lighter kerb (1600 kg).
- Both share AWD, Turbo, Direct injection (direct), 4 Inline, fuel 92, 156 mm clearance, and the same suspension and brake labels.
If a buyer needs documented mpg, CO2, eco class, wheel size, or reliability statistics, those fields are not measured for both versions. The choice that is documented is performance versus mass versus tank versus gearbox speed count.
Which version to choose, using only the numbers
Choose 1.3 AT when: you want the highest horsepower (288 hp), the highest torque (519 Nm), the highest specific output (216.2 hp/L), and the shorter 0–100 (6.1 s). You accept 1875 kg kerb, 2417 kg gross, 42 L tank, 6-speed Automatic, and 206 km/h top speed. Versus 2.0 AT, that is +20 hp, +119 Nm, −0.4 s to 100, +275 kg kerb, −9 L tank, −19 km/h top speed.
Choose 2.0 AT when: you want the higher top speed (225 km/h), the lower kerb (1600 kg) and gross (2165 kg), the larger tank (51 L), the larger payload (565 kg), the lower kg/hp (5.97), and the 9-speed Automatic. You accept 268 hp, 400 Nm, 6.5 s to 100, and Gasoline rather than Hybrid. Versus 1.3 AT, that is −20 hp, −119 Nm, +0.4 s to 100, −275 kg kerb, +9 L tank, +19 km/h top speed.
Do not choose by generation: there is 1 generation from 2022-08-01, SUV 5-doors, 2 versions, no restyle row, no end date. Do not choose by mpg, CO2, eco class, or wheels: all not measured. Do not choose by drive, clearance, suspension, or brakes: those labels match.
There is no price in this data, so “what the extra money buys” can only be stated as what the extra hardware numbers buy: 1.3 AT buys 20 hp, 119 Nm, and 0.4 s; 2.0 AT buys 275 kg less kerb, 9 L more tank, 23 kg more payload, 3 more gearbox speeds, and 19 km/h more top speed. That is the whole measured fork for the Dodge Hornet.
