Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

10/23/2023

The Dodge Hornet is an extra-small SUV that packs a particularly potent punch for a vehicle its size. Where other subcompact sport-utes might be lucky to exceed 150 horsepower, the Hornet makes a whopping 268 horsepower in base form. The Hornet is based on the same architecture that underpins the Alfa Romeo Tonale, and it inherits a similar plug-in hybrid drivetrain option pumping out 288 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque available in the new R/T model. All Hornet SUVs come standard with all-wheel drive and a healthy assortment of tech and convenience features.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Dodge Hornet GT 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.49 per gallon for premium unleaded in Texas.}

Edmunds spotlight: Range and power

The 288-horsepower turbo-four plug-in hybrid drivetrain offered in the R/T and R/T Plus trims is capable of 0-60 mph in a manufacturer-estimated 5.6 seconds when you engage the PowerShot feature, which temporarily supplies the Hornet with an extra 30 hp for a limited time. In addition to granting extra power, the hybrid system also allows for up to 33 miles of range on battery power alone when set to Electric mode.

Competitors to consider

Though it's slightly bigger and more powerful, the Dodge Hornet competes in the extra-small SUV category, which includes the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, Volkswagen Taos, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, Chevrolet Trailblazer and Mazda CX-30. Given its significant horsepower advantage and higher price point, consumers might also cross-shop the Hornet against larger compact offerings such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue.

Which Hornet does Edmunds recommend?

The Hornet comes pretty well equipped in base GT form, and it already has a horsepower advantage over the subcompact SUV competition. If you want more advanced safety features, opt for the Tech Pack to gain access to enhanced adaptive cruise control, lane centering, a 360-degree camera system and an automated parking system.

2023 Dodge Hornet GT Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

My Hornet has been exactly what I expected. I needed a small-ish CUV with ground clearance, AWD, decent fuel economy, and get up and go. This was the only SUV that fit the bill and had soul. This isn’t a CUV like a RAV4 or CRV; it’s not a function over form nor is it engineered to outlive us all. It’s built in the same vein as other Dodge products, it’s powerful, moderately economical …

2024 Dodge Hornet R/T 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

Only 1K miles on Hornet RT Wanted a CUV for its practicality. I was coming out of a Mustang. I also wanted some performance. I was intrigued by the Hornet for that reason. I have also had a love for Alfa Romeo cars. The Hornet is based on the new Alfa Tonale. For all of those reasons, I was not a sheep & I checked it out for myself. I leaned toward the RT because of the incentives. They …

2023 Dodge Hornet GT Plus 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

1000 miles. This thing is really quick and fairly nimble. It’s front wheel drive biased and you can tell. The 9 speed transmission is pretty good, smooth shifts during hard and light acceleration. We have the Brembo brakes, which I highly recommend. I’m 6ft 210 so it’s a little cramped for me but the seats hold you place. There is very little storage in the front. The wireless phone …

2024 Dodge Hornet R/T Plus 4dr SUV AWD (1.3L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6A)

We just got this sweet easy ride recently. I like the look of black with red trim. The idea of being a gas saver and battery is great. Were I live in Maine and use many miles! The time I get in it feels like my batmobile! I can set my own settings to my liking. Super comfortable seats and so easy to drive. The quiet is nice too. The quick pick up speed is so handy. I really love …
