A Modern-Day Tech Sanctuary

Amidst the scenic routes from Salmon Arm to Clearwater, let the Hornet’s tech features be your best travel companion. The spacious 10.3-inch touchscreen, in sync with its 12.3-inch digital gauge display, offers a tech panorama right at your fingertips. The Hornet boasts the acclaimed Uconnect 5 system, ensuring connectivity is both fun and functional.


From voice-controlled Amazon Alexa tasks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you’re always connected. Audiophiles from Merritt to Whistler can rejoice with the GT Plus trim’s 14-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system, transforming drives into concert-like experiences.


The interior? Think Italian opera meets American rock — the comfort of spacious seating with a dash of European sophistication.


A Safe Journey through BC’s Tapestry:

Imagine a crisp morning drive from the tranquil terrains of Cache Creek, the road ahead clear and the world still waking up. Suddenly, a cyclist, entranced by the beauty of the dawn, momentarily loses their path and veers closer to the road. But even before you can react, the Hornet’s intuitive pedestrian and cyclist detection system springs into action, ensuring a safe distance is maintained, and potential dangers are averted.


Fast forward to a bustling afternoon in Vernon’s city center. The streets are animated, with both locals and tourists navigating the urban maze. Amidst the hustle, you get momentarily distracted, and your vehicle strays from its lane. But before any alarm bells can ring, the lane-keeping assist gently guides the Hornet back on track, ensuring a seamless drive even in the most unpredictable situations.


Now, imagine a longer drive, perhaps from Merritt to Kelowna. The highway stretches out invitingly, but the traffic flow is inconsistent. Instead of constantly adjusting speeds or fretting about maintaining safe distances, the Hornet’s advanced adaptive cruise control, equipped with lane centring from the optional Tech package, becomes your driving companion. It seamlessly adapts to the traffic ahead, ensuring you can enjoy the scenic beauty of British Columbia without a worry in the world.


With the 2023 Dodge Hornet, every journey through BC becomes a symphony of assurance and confidence, making every destination worth the drive.


A Decision Rooted in Value

Mulling over your next SUV choice in BC? The 2023 Dodge Hornet not only offers a vehicle but a statement. With an attractive starting price and unparalleled features, it stands tall, ready to rival the likes of the Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-50.


However, with Dodge’s signature reliability and the Hornet’s feature-rich offering, there’s little wonder why it’s poised to be the crown jewel in its class.
