Dodge Hornet R/T Wins Best Engine Award

Now, let's talk about what makes this ride unique. Under the hood, it's got a 1.3-liter turbocharged I-4 engine teamed up with not one but two electric motors. The result? A powerhouse system that cranks out a whopping 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. And here's the cool part: it's got a 15.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack on board, giving you more than 30 miles of pure electric driving range. But wait, there's more! They've added this nifty feature called PowerShot for that extra adrenaline rush. It gives you an instant 30-horsepower boost and a surge of torque. Imagine shaving off 1.5 seconds from your regular 0 to 60 mph time – that's what PowerShot does. It's like a 15-second turbo boost from the battery and electric motor, making the Hornet R/T the quickest and most powerful utility vehicle in its segment. Now, that's something to get excited about!

They aim for a 100% passenger car EV sales mix in Europe and 50% in the U.S. by 2030. The first Stellantis EVs in North America, the Ram ProMaster van and Fiat 500e, arrive by early 2024. Their plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are on fire, with sales doubling in North America during H1 2023, making Stellantis the top PHEV automaker in the U.S. This year, the 1.3-liter turbo I-4 PHEV wins, following Stellantis' 2022 double win. In 30 years, Stellantis has won the Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems award 23 times.
