Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

2026 Dodge Hornet review
Dodge Hornet: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.2/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Dodge Hornet sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Price climbs fast with options and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $32,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
