The $31,590 GT model comes first with a 265-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, but that will have to wait for the 285-hp R/T plug-in hybrid, which starts at $41,590.
Yes $53,000 sounds like a lot for a subcompact SUV from Dodge, but what if the SUV was based on an Alfa Romeo and offered a plug-in hybrid powertrain? Dodge hopes the new 2023 Camaro, which is closely related to the Alfa Romeo Tonale, will be attractive enough to at least fully match its high price tag when it goes on sale this spring.
There’s also a more reasonable 2023 Dodge Hornet base model priced under $32,000 and powered by a turbocharged inline-four. The base model, the 265-horsepower Hornet GT, starts at $31,590 and comes standard with a 10.3-inch touchscreen, cloth seats, 17-inch wheels, sensor wipers and more. The $4,900 GT Plus upgrade adds heated and cooled leather front seats, a moonroof, a power liftgate, navigation and more.
There are packages that include a $2,995 track kit with larger wheels and tires, adaptive dampers and an upgraded interior; $1,995 Blacktop Package with Dark Accents; and the $1,995 Blacktop package with driver assistance has a $2,245 technology package.
The 2023 Dodge Hornet R/T, a model with a 285-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain, is said to be quicker than the GT and offers around 30 miles of electric range. It’s priced at $41,590, just $3,000 less than its PHEV-only Alfa Romeo sibling.
The R/T Plus adds equipment starting at $46,590 and offers the same options and packages as the GT, which shows how you can get over $53,000 when you throw in all the extra money. Dodge says that orders for the Camaro GT are now open and the models will begin arriving at dealerships in early spring. The Camaro R/T Hybrid will arrive in a few months, with ordering information available at a later date.
