2025 Dodge Hornet GT Plus: Natick Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2025 Hornet GT Plus
The GT Plus sits in the middle of the 2025 Hornet lineup at $37,475 before the $1,595 destination charge, and it's built for buyers who want the GT's 268-horsepower turbo engine and standard all-wheel drive with a noticeably nicer cabin: a power sunroof, heated and ventilated leather front seats, remote start, navigation, wireless phone charging and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon stereo replace the GT's cloth seats and 6-speaker setup. Mechanically it's the same GT drivetrain — the money here buys comfort, not speed. It's available now, in what is the Hornet's final model year, at Brigham-Gill Village CDJR in Natick.
Same engine, different cabin
Nothing changes under the hood moving from GT to GT Plus — it's the identical 2.0-liter turbo four, 268 horsepower, 295 lb-ft, 9-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive, with the same 6.5-second 0-60 and the same 21/29/24 city/highway/combined MPG rating. What the extra roughly $5,900 over the GT buys is entirely inside the cabin: genuine leather in place of cloth/synthetic upholstery, heating and ventilation for both front seats, a power sunroof, built-in navigation, a wireless charging pad, remote start, and a jump from a 6-speaker stereo to a 14-speaker Harman Kardon system. If you cross-shopped the GT and kept coming back to "I wish it had the sunroof and the better seats," this is that car.
What GT Plus adds over GT
- Power sunroof
- Heated and ventilated power front seats
- Genuine leather upholstery, with a red interior option
- Remote start
- Navigation built into the Uconnect system
- Wireless charging pad
- 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio, up from the GT's 6-speaker system
Everything the GT already has standard — the 12.3-inch digital cluster, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, the Koni-tuned suspension — carries over unchanged.
Where it sits against R/T
The GT Plus is the last stop before the Hornet switches personalities entirely. Step up to R/T and you're no longer buying a nicer version of the same car — you're buying Dodge's plug-in hybrid powertrain, with an electric rear axle, about 33 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only range, and a nearly one-second-quicker 5.6-second 0-60. That's roughly a $4,200 jump from GT Plus to R/T, for a genuinely different kind of vehicle rather than another feature bump. Worth cross-referencing both guides before deciding which direction your money goes.
What buyers say about the experience
Reviewers at Brigham-Gill Village CDJR — 4.6 stars across more than 1,200 Google reviews — repeatedly mention the finance side of the process going as smoothly as the test drive. One buyer, after a Jeep Wagoneer purchase: "I also want to express how thankful I am to Maggie in the Finance Department. She was great! She went above and beyond in what I expected." Another, on a Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit: "Rith was also great to work with, and threw in a few additional items to sweeten the deal, which was much appreciated." For a trim like the GT Plus, where navigating options and financing on a comfort-focused upgrade matters, that kind of walk-through is worth having.
Frequently asked questions
Is the GT Plus worth the extra cost over the GT?
If a sunroof, leather seats, navigation and premium audio matter to your daily drive, yes — those are real, usable upgrades rather than badge features. If you don't care about any of them, the base GT gets you the identical engine and AWD system for less.
Does the GT Plus have a faster 0-60 than the GT?
No — the powertrain is unchanged, so the 6.5-second 0-60 and fuel economy figures carry over exactly.
Can I get the red interior on a GT Plus?
Yes, the leather upholstery on GT Plus offers a red interior option alongside the standard color choices — ask the sales team what's currently in stock, since remaining Hornet inventory is limited in the final model year.
Does GT Plus come with the larger touchscreen?
GT and GT Plus both run the 10.25-inch Uconnect touchscreen; the larger 11.5-inch screen is reserved for R/T and R/T Plus.
Where can I see current GT Plus inventory?
Through Brigham-Gill Village CDJR's Hornet inventory page. With 2025 the final model year, it's worth checking before making the trip to Natick on Route 9.
The mid-trim that's actually a comfort trim
Think of GT Plus less as "better GT" and more as "GT with the options most people end up wanting anyway." The performance case for the Hornet lives entirely in the GT's engine, which you already get here — the Plus money goes toward the parts of ownership you feel every single day: the seat you sit in, the stereo you listen to, the sunroof you open on the first warm day after a MetroWest winter.
