“Goes Like Hell.”
Not just a catchy phrase. It’s an acronym. GLH. It dates back to the horsepower-starved ’80s. Back when a co-development with Carroll Shelby meant something special for the Dodge Omni hot hatch. Now, Dodge is digging those letters up from the dead.
Expect a subcompact SUV shape.
But pack it with serious firepower? That’s the goal.
The Mystery Engines
We don’t know everything. Obviously.
There will be a standard GLH trim. And a higher-output GLH SRT. The SRT version is inevitable for the speed demons.
The base model likely borrows its heart from the old Dodge Hornet. A turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder pushing 268 horsepower. Adequate? Probably. Fun? Hopefully.
The SRT? That’s where it gets interesting.
Rumors point to the new Hurricane turbo four-cylinder engine. Expect around 324 horsepower. More, if they dial it up.
Why not just buy a hot hatch?
Maybe you need ground clearance. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is faster in a straight line? Maybe. But it doesn’t sit high off the pavement. The Dodge GLH fills a weird little gap in the market. A performance crossover that actually tries to drive fast.
Born for 2028
It’s an all-new model for 2028.
Resurrected nameplates are rare these days. Especially ones that sat dormant for decades.
The car shares its DNA with another Stellantis project: the Chrysler Airflow. Same STLA One modular platform underneath the sheet metal. This isn’t just a badged-down rental. It’s built for the electric age, even if we suspect some versions will burn gasoline. Or hybrids.
The details are still thin.
Two trims only for now.
Standard. SRT.
That’s the split. Base for the daily commute. SRT for the twisty backroads and the neighbors who don’t like loud noises.
We’ll know more soon enough. Pricing remains a total black box. Trims might expand. They might not.
One thing is clear.
Dodge is betting that “fast SUV” still sells.
Are we buying it?
