The Dodge Hornet: When Morristown Drivers Want More Than “Just Enough”
We’ve got nothing but respect for the Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Kona — they’re smart, efficient, and great at squeezing into that one shady spot behind the Starbucks on South Street. Just ask Nielsen Editorial, which recently compared the two models. But if your daily grind includes Route 287 standoffs, last-second jughandles, and the occasional uphill detour that feels like a roller coaster in disguise, you might want a compact SUV that’s got a bit more … sting.
Meet the Dodge Hornet — the subcompact that shows up with turbo power, AWD capability, and an attitude that says, “Yeah, I’m built for Jersey.”
This isn’t your average entry-level SUV. With its aggressive styling and performance-tuned powertrain, the Hornet feels more like a hot hatch with extra headroom. It carves corners with confidence, grips when the weather turns wild, and still leaves room in the back for groceries, gear, or your kid’s science fair volcano.
It’s all business on the inside, including a digital cockpit, sleek materials, and a layout that actually makes sense. And if you opt for the R/T plug-in hybrid? You’re getting an SUV that can muscle through Monday traffic and sneak past the pump for days.
So while the Kicks and Kona do their job well, the Dodge Hornet does it with flair — and maybe a burnout or two (on private property, of course).
