Dodge Hornet spy photos show a close resemblance to Alfa Romeo



A few months ago, Leaked photos shows that there will be a Avoid Variation of Alfa Romeo Tonale SUV. Now, one of our spy photographers has captured a prototype seemingly to verify the accuracy of those leaked images. Indeed, it looks like the tentative name Dodge Hornet will essentially be a Tonale with a Dodge face.

The front Dodge cues come with a slit just below the bumper that firmly bridges the headlight. It repeats the design used on the SRT Dodge charger and above State of Durango Mexico. It fits in with a larger grille in the bumper area that is capable of delivering most of the cooling air. Some of the design cues seen in the leaked images don’t appear to be on this prototype, such as the outside air intakes and hood vents. But maybe this is an earlier test mule without all the exterior parts, or it could be a lower trim without much visual flair.

The rest of the Hornet prototype looks almost identical to Tonale. Even the taillights look lifted off the little Italian. We suspect that, at the very least, the full production model will have slightly different taillight elements and possibly a revised rear bumper to help differentiate the two models. The leaked images show that the interior will also be nearly identical between the two SUVs.

With so many similarities, the Hornet will likely have the same powertrain as the Tonale. The first is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and the second is an engine dip into the mixture with a 1.3 liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Power output is uncertain and can change depending on how Stellantis wants to position the Hornet. It could even get a powertrain not shared with the Tonale, presumably a non-hybrid 1.3-liter turbo from Jeep Renegadecould locate the Hornet lower and at a much lower price than Alfa.

We don’t have to wait long to know all the details. Disclosure report will be in August. We wouldn’t be surprised, because between the spy photo and the leaked photos, it looks like the SUV is almost ready. So wait a moment.
