Nissan Kicks vs Hyundai Kona: Don’t Miss the Dodge Hornet

The Dodge Hornet: For NJ Drivers Who Like Their Small SUVs with a Side of Swagger

Nielsen Editorial recently featured the Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Kona as sensible picks - efficient, practical, and ready to tackle New Jersey's pothole-pocked commutes. But if your idea of a small SUV includes a little more edge and a lot more attitude, the Dodge Hornet is buzzing with potential.

This compact powerhouse brings serious performance to the party with a standard turbocharged engine, optional plug-in hybrid setup, and available AWD that's ready for Route 46 rainstorms or surprise snow on Sussex backroads. It's not just about getting from A to B - it's about enjoying the ride (and maybe leaving a few sedans in the rearview mirror).

The Hornet turns up the heat on the inside with a sleek, sporty cockpit, digital displays, and features that make weekday driving feel more like a flex than a chore. Whether you're carving through the curves of Route 15 or just trying to merge into 80 without losing your mind, the Hornet handles it all with muscle and confidence.

Don't sleep on the Kicks or Kona - they've earned their fans. But if you want a compact SUV that feels more like a hot hatch with a mission, the Dodge Hornet is waiting at our Dodge dealership in NJ.
