I’m 5’1” but hit my head getting in over bucket seat edges, same for 58” daughter. If you put a second cup in holder console lid has to remain open. A/C slow to cool in heat of day. Controls conveniently located on nav screen, very confusing to use. Rear hatch made for tall folks- the gripping areas for closing have no grip- just for looks I suppose. The Hornet has good pick up, smooth ride after bumping your head, getting stuck on seat edge and sweating awaiting cool air - otherwise not bad, not for me.

RT+ is a vehicle with TONS of issues

I own a 2024 Dodge Hornet RT+. It's been at th dealership twice for electrical issues. First time was a total power failure that even drained the 12v battery even though the manufacturer says it should not do that. Second time was all the lights on the dash lit warning "service engine", service power steering, front collision inoperable, lane sense inoperable, heated seats and steering wheel inoperable, automatic power folding mirrors inoperable. My vehicle has just over 4K miles on it and I've only owned it 7 months. I'm looking into lemon laws in my state at this point. Dodge promises the works with this car, but that is not what you get. You'll end up with tow bills and mansplaining at the dealership.

With the recent discounts, this car is a great value. I just traded in my 5 year old Tesla Model 3 for the Hornet R/T Plus. It’s really FUN to drive in Sport Mode and I still get to drive electric for my daily commute. I bought the Mopar extended warranty for piece of mind. It also looks really cool and stands out in the sea of compact SUVs on the road today. This my family’s second PHEV — we have the Chrysler Pacifica and having the ability to switch between electric or gas is the best of both worlds.

After getting an amazing lease deal on an Alfa Romeo Tonale and loving the suv so much, 10 days later I got a Hornet RT with the black top package and track package. It's very sporty. The steering feel is perfect. I prefer the suede seats vs my Tonale leather seats. My wife prefers the leather. So to each their own. I think the Hornet's Suede drivers seat sits a bit lower, which is great for me being 6'1 and liking to sit low. The suede seats don't get a/c seats. That's the tradeoff. I have three child seats in back. Two forward facing and one booster. It all fits fine and the kids 8,5,2 1/2 are all good. 38" of rear legroom is 1/4" less than the Jeep PHEV lease that I am returning this week. The trunk space on the PHEV Hornet version is a little small, but it has an under compartment that is a good size. All in all for you should grab one while 2024 last. They are sitting on the lots and have crazy good $200-300 sign and drive leases based on the incentives you qualify for. Same for the Tonale but a touch higher msrp. They are both awesome! If I had one complaint, I wish you can get the Tech package with the Track Package, but it's one or the other. The tech package comes with 18" wheels and I think the 20's are much cooler with the red brake calipers. My Tonale has 20" rims and all the tech, but it's 4k higher msrp. I agree with Edmunds that the 20’s are louder on the highway, but it’s tolerable and looks better than 18’s I think
