Overview

The 2024 Dodge Hornet makes for an excellent contender in the compact SUV class. With 2 trims on offer, the Dodge Hornet has a base MSRP of $31,590, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $36,590, competing directly with the 2024 Honda CR-V, the 2024 Toyota RAV4, and the 2024 Kia Seltos.

Dodge offers the Hornet in 7 stunning colors, with the Blue Steele being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Dodge Hornet is a fairly new product in Dodge's lineup and makes it a strong contender in the compact SUV segment. Dodge has not tried to make the most practical or fuel-efficient option in the competition. Instead, in typical Dodge fashion, they have given the Hornet a powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes the Dodge Hornet one of the performance-focused SUVs in the competition. It is based on the more expensive Alfa Romeo Tonale and you can notice some similarities between the two models for sure. The 2024 Dodge Hornet comes out as a good option for those who want a compact SUV with some excitement under its hood.
