2024 Dodge Hornet Plug-in Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Great Sporty Hybrid SUV
When i bought the Hornet, I thought it would be an great extra car for myself and my son. It's exceeded all expectations in drivability and is just plain fun to ride in. The technology in it is top notch. Battery charge has good mileage capacity. You can slowly charge the battery when driving also if it is out of juice. One area Dodge needs to improve, a larger gas tank capacity. If you are on a road trip regionally, it's clear as day you will need to fill it up sooner than you expect. It's so far reliable and fun 5000 miles in.

Pros- peppy, cons-interior has issues
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.

A great value and way FUN!
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.

Very underrated vehicle!
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
