2025 Dodge Hornet Plug-In Hybrid vs 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross
If you’re shopping for a smart and efficient crossover in Canada, the 2025 Dodge Hornet Plug-In Hybrid is turning heads — and it’s not hard to see why. While the Toyota Corolla Cross is a familiar name in the small SUV market, the Hornet PHEV brings more excitement, capability, and cutting-edge technology that truly stands out in the segment.
Let’s compare them side by side and see why Dodge’s electrified crossover is the smarter pick for drivers in Ajax, Pickering, and across the GTA.
Performance & Efficiency: Power Meets Efficiency
The 2025 Dodge Hornet Plug-In Hybrid is built for modern performance. It pairs a turbocharged 1.3-litre engine with an electric motor for a combined 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque — making it one of the most powerful compact SUVs in its class. Plus, with up to 53 km of all-electric range, it’s perfect for daily commutes or weekend trips without worrying about fuel costs.
By comparison, the Toyota Corolla Cross features a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gas engine that delivers 169 horsepower. It’s efficient, but not nearly as thrilling or flexible. The Hornet wins easily here — offering both performance and plug-in efficiency in one package.
Interior & Space: Designed for Comfort and Style
Step inside the Hornet, and you’ll feel the premium Stellantis touch. High-quality materials, available Alcantara® sport seats, and driver-focused design create a cockpit that’s both athletic and comfortable.
The Corolla Cross does offer good cargo space, but the Hornet’s interior feels more upscale and refined — ideal for drivers who want everyday practicality without sacrificing luxury.
Features That Keep You Comfortable and Connected
The Hornet PHEV features a 10.25-inch Uconnect® touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital cluster, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You can even enjoy available Harman Kardon® premium audio and advanced driver aids like Active Driving Assist.
While the Corolla Cross includes Toyota’s latest infotainment system, the Hornet’s interface and available features are simply more advanced and premium — a clear edge for tech-savvy drivers.
Keeping You Safe Wherever You Drive
Both vehicles deliver solid safety suites, but the Hornet takes it further with 360° Surround View Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Blind Spot Monitoring. Toyota’s safety tech is reliable, but Dodge brings more features and flexibility across its lineup.
