Quick Answer

Identify the exact model year and whether the vehicle is gasoline or plug-in hybrid before using its specifications. The EPA entries checked here distinguish a 2023 gasoline Hornet from a 2024 Hornet PHEV. They do not support presenting every former R/T claim as a verified 2023 specification.

What the EPA Records Show

The EPA dataset, checked October 19, 2026, lists 2023 Hornet AWD, record 46381, with a 2.0-litre gasoline engine and 24 mpg combined. A separate 2024 Hornet PHEV AWD entry, record 47275, identifies a 1.3-litre four-cylinder and six-speed automatic with regular gasoline and electricity.

The 2024 PHEV page lists four hours at 240 V for charging. It also lists a 33-mile electricity-plus-gasoline range segment and 360-mile total range. Those are different measures: the total is not electric-only range. The page warns that gasoline use depends on driving, so this is not a promise of an engine-off commute.

That page also contains inconsistent footer wording referring to 21 miles. The bulk record and main rating show 33; the conflicting footer is not silently converted into a second vehicle specification. Verify the actual vehicle’s label and instructions rather than treating this reference as a guaranteed trip result.

Charging Requires the Vehicle’s Instructions

Before planning a charge, check the exact vehicle’s supported supply, connector and operating instructions. The EPA page used here does not list a 7.4 kW onboard rate.

Use the manual for the vehicle in front of you before planning a charge.

Equipment, Price and Launch Dates Remain Separate

An EPA model year does not by itself prove the first dealer or customer delivery date.

For a used vehicle, request the equipment list, the relevant manual, service history and a dated local quote. A model-level reference cannot certify a particular car’s condition or value.
