The 2024 Dodge Hornet is a sporty yet cramped SUV. It’s full of charm, but it lacks substance where it counts most, especially when buyers expect utility and practicality out of their SUVs. The 2024 Dodge Hornet boasts pleasing performance all around. From its peppy engine, smooth-shifting transmission and useful driving modes to its sharp driving dynamics and comfortable ride, there’s little to dislike about this Dodge.
Engine Options, Horsepower and Acceleration
- Engine: turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque
- Drivetrain: all-wheel drive
- Transmission: nine-speed automatic
The Hornet comes equipped with a powerful and eager engine that can propel the SUV from zero to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. All-wheel drive helps the vehicle maintain grip, and the nine-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly in most situations, though it can struggle a little bit at lower speeds.
MPG Estimates
The 2024 Hornet gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. These estimates are below average among compact SUVs.
Handling and Braking
The Hornet’s driving dynamics are among the most exciting in the class. The steering is precise and responsive, and it corners nicely, giving a sporty impression that few compact SUVs can match. The suspension is tuned more for performance than for pure comfort, but it achieves a nice balance, leaving the ride equal parts pliant and firm.
