What are the Best-Selling Compact Cars in New Jersey?

The Dodge Hornet & Jeep Compass: Compact Car Alternatives With More Space & Power

Compact cars are great for fuel efficiency and easy maneuvering, but what if you need a little extra space, more capability, and a higher driving position? That's where small SUVs like the Dodge Hornet and Jeep Compass start to look awfully attractive. Nielsen Editorial recently highlighted the best-selling compact cars for NJ drivers, but these two models offer the practicality of a compact car with more power, cargo space, and all-weather confidence. Because let's be real: Sometimes you need just a little more car to take on Garden State roads without feeling like you're in a go-kart dodging semis.

The Dodge Hornet is the perfect mix of sporty performance and everyday practicality. With a turbocharged engine pushing out 268 horsepower, it delivers way more punch than a traditional compact car - so you can merge onto the Parkway with confidence instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. And with available all-wheel drive, it's ready for NJ winters, rainy-day commutes, and those surprise potholes that show up overnight (seriously, do they grow while we sleep?).

If you're looking for something just as versatile but with a bit more rugged capability, the Jeep Compass is a compact SUV that brings off-road capability and all-season confidence to your daily drive. With available 4x4 systems, a refined interior, and Jeep's legendary durability, the Compass is perfect for commuters, weekend adventurers, and anyone who needs a little more ground clearance to handle NJ's unpredictable roads. Whether you're navigating the snow-covered streets of Sussex County or tackling a dirt path to your favorite hiking spot, the Compass is always up for the challenge.

Both models give you the fuel economy and tech of a compact car with the added bonus of extra cargo space, higher ride height, and available AWD for better handling in all conditions. If you're looking for an alternative to a compact sedan that doesn't compromise on performance, versatility, or style, check out the Dodge Hornet and Jeep Compass at our Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM dealership in New Jersey.
