Dodge and the team at Stellantis continue to try to find innovative ways to design and develop vehicles for their dwindling list of sedan and SUV consumers. Due to this, the Dodge Hornet nameplate was pulled from the archives and re-released as Dodge’s way of exploring the realistic priced market. Entry level and ready to ride, the 2024 Dodge Hornet is similar to the 1977 AMC version: subpar. Its Dodge Dart-like curvatures give off the vibes of a sedan, while the Hornet is a compact SUV and the interior matches the ride height and feel of a sedan. It’s hard to understand why Dodge released the Hornet in a category already bulging with winners, such as the Honda HR-V, Alfa Romeo Tonale, Mazda CX-30 and Hyundai Kona, rather than in one in need of new blood.
