The 2024 Dodge Hornet isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think about buying a smallish SUV. In a crowded field, the Dodge Hornet can get lost among the Honda HR-V and CR-V models, the Toyota RAV4 and Corolla Cross, and the similarly sized Mazda CX-5. Part of this is due to the fact that the Dodge Hornet is a bit of an in-between size and shape: not quite as large as the Toyota RAV4 but bigger than the Toyota Corolla Cross and Mazda CX-30. This put the 2024 Dodge Hornet in a bit of a pickle. It's large enough to be practical as a second vehicle or as a teen driver's first car, but it's too small for our tallish family to use regularly or on short road trips. It's fun to drive like the Mazda CX-30, but like the CX-30 it can get expensive quick once you start piling on the options. Where the Dodge Hornet shines is in this base GT trim. The Dodge Hornet comes with a number of premium standard features as well as a reasonably powerful engine, it looks pretty nice inside and out, and it drives with a bit of that Alfa Romeo DNA (since it's an Alfa Romeo Tonale underneath). What this means is that at the lower end of the pricing spectrum the Dodge Hornet feels like more than the sum of its parts. We were certainly surprised. Let us know what you think of the 2024 Dodge Hornet in the comments!
