Transmission is impeccably smooth. It never draws attention to itself - just does the job competently. 6. Acceleration is smooth, but there is a very harsh vibration/resonance while idling in gear. I was stuck in traffic for an hour recently, and the vibration was maddening. 7. No good exhaust noises, but some bad exhaust noises are present when the engine is charging the battery . (Sounds like a portable gas generator in the hatch area.) Overall impression - Not a terrible car, but I was very glad to give it back after the rental.

Same here. As the reviewer notes, either version of the Hornet results in the best performing vehicle in the segment. But all hybrid vehicles are compromised. They are all a marriage of two different powertrains, one mechanical and one electric, so neither is optimized. On the other hand, the GT model has a reliable and potent 2 litre turbo engine and all wheel drive. As to Alfa Romeo reliability, the reviewer is demonstrating his ignorance of the brand's current build quality. The entire review is a little laughable, actually. I guess it's what's to be expected when a Toyota mechanic "reviews" an Italian car.

I think these are handsome SUVs, but there is a less than zero percent chance that I would ever consider buying a Dodge/Alfa mashup. I've heard lots of bad things about these.

I think the new Dodge Powerwagon is going to shock Ford and GM in the heavy duty truck market. Can't speak to the Chrysler Pacific as never owned one or even seen one reviewed but often used for autonomous vehicle testing. Jeep offering still winning out over the Ford Bronco which says a lot about Jeep as this is a serious effort by Ford to take on the Jeep nameplate. Tesla continues to absolutely dominate growth in the global vehicle market though and this looks set to ramp up big time in North America for the rest of Calendar Year 2024. That this vehicle is going to compete with the Rav4, CRV or Tesla Model Y is of course ridiculous but I guess there was felt a need to "try something." I thought the Pacific could be had as a hybrid so why that couldn't be put into such a product if true is quite the mystery. Plus Stellantis just like GM is suddenly going all in with pure play battery electric full size trucks now so good luck with that one given not just the headstart Ford has had but also Rivian. Plus Rivian is already coming out with an entire 2nd Generation R2 Vehicle lineup. This is all brand new clean sheet stuff which even Tesla is struggling with. Either way Stellantis still has a very impressive market cap unlike Ford and GM.

Take a look at the Hornet GT. It has a reliable 2 litre turbo four instead of the complex hybrid powertrain.

that sway bar link is also used on the 2nd gen jeep compass (mp). I replaced mine with moog metal ones recently.

Amazing display of Italian engineering. We are so lucky to have this wonderful power train. I'm certain the dealership mechanics are trained and up to snuff. As they say. WHAT COULD GO WRONG

That complication of having coolant and other items running front to back and vice versa is definitely adding complication and will make these highly susceptible to being totaled out during a crash event. I'm sure the insurance premiums on this are going to be higher than normal.

Love all the reviews, this one was phenomenal as always. I've never seen you do a Chevy but I'd love if you'd review the new 24' Traverse. They've redesigned completely, now with a 2.5 turbo and updated transmission. They've had a nightmare history of their outgoing 9-speed and now a 2.5 in such a big truck is very interesting choice. Who knows what's happening under the chassis with the dual clutch and other mods in the Z71. They're asking a lot of money for it, curious if their redesign and higher asking price is great value or smoke & mirrors. Would love to hear your deep technical analysis. Love the reviews you do. Amazing catch here with the dodge using plastic components and curious 2 or 4x drive Thanks you so much for the depth of your reviews. Truly among the best review channels on KZread ❤

As someone who works at an Chrysler/ford/Chevy dealerships where we SALE these, I DESPISE every model. Just servicing them takes literal ages. There is a total of 23 fasteners you have to un-do before you can even do an oil change. ( 12 push Clips and 5 aluminum 10MM bolts , and then 6 T15 tor screws) And you have to undo the 12 push clips before you can even put it put on a standard 10K rotary lift. Basically what should be a max 15 minute oil change and multi point, becomes an 30-45 min deal :,)

I do not agree with your evaluation. The Hornet GT is probably the most interesting and fun-to-drive vehicle in its segment. It proves crossovers don't have to be boring to drive or ugly to look at. Its performance and style to price ratio is spot on. As to the torquey, all aluminum, twin cam 2 litre turbocharged engine, it has proven to be very reliable in other vehicles so it should be reliable here also. It offers far superior performance to the ageing Pentastar lump. As to the Hornet's size, it sits between a small and a medium crossover. For your needs, it may be too small.

In Brazil, we have a lot of Fiats and Jeeps equipped with this 185hp 1.3T engine, which runs on 100% ethanol too. Thousands of early production units suffer with severe oil consuption since new (some problem with software and eletronic oil pump). Many examples of engines knocking or locking up before first oil change (6000 miles) or owners leaving cars to dealerships shops fix under warranty and waiting for parts for 6 months or more. It's a shame considering these cars are expensive for a 3o world country (our mininum wage is U$270/month and some models with this powertrain cost U$ 50k. I would never buy any new Stellatins product.

The entire reason for this vehicle being a Dodge is because of complaints that FCA were diverting vehicles meant for Chrysler or Dodge and putting a Jeep badge on them. I think the main market for this vehicle are people who don't like Alfa Romeo's exterior design queues but want the Alfa Romeo drive train. I don't see this vehicle going long term. Chrysler is not shy about ending production of vehicles that don't sell well. They will even end production of vehicles that do sell well if they think they can get better sales with something else. It's the end of the FCA platforms, and the Stellantis platforms are quite a bit better. I think the steering wheel has to do with future parts sharing. The volume and skip/seek thing are an Italian decision. They do the same with temperature and fan speed. I find it annoying for very much the same reason. European Engineers tend to overcomplicate things which is why it's ill-advised for Stellantis to have most of its engineering in Europe.

Wow you just saved me from buying one! CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH..

The GT Review by Sarah N Tuned shows all the differences. She wants paddle shifters, it has a power lift gate, the gauges adjust with the volume and track buttons. There is a volume rotary knob in the center console.

The multi-air design is old and has worked in the past for their 1.4 inline 4 used on Jeep, Dodge Dart and Fiat cars. The 3 cylinder engine with electric motors are the variable in this.

If you go with the GT instead of the RT it has the 2.0L turbo gas engine in it which is a pretty respectable engine for what it is. The base trims also only weighs about 3700lbs that includes AWD and if you don’t get carried away with options you can get it in the mid 30’s.

I would say as long as you're not going to keep it beyond the warranty period that it would be fine if you like the car...it'll fall apart quick though and that's by design

I’m pretty sure hope this will go, yet I still watch :)

BMW X1 plugin hybrid has its electric motor driving the rear wheels only (not sure if its available in US)

After an hour with this car I found it to be a complete wash. The “performance” dodge emphasized was completely absent. It’s got the gimmicky power shot which gives you a torque bump on launch, but beyond that it had very little response or desire to do so when you pushed it at speed. The 6 speed was sluggish, making the paddle shifters an absolute joke. The trick PHEV setup is pointless because even in electric only mode if you call for too much throttle it’ll re engage the engine. The eAWD seems to exist more for power than it does stability (I drove it during the winter and it didn’t do so well in Canadian snow). And the car feels noticeably heavier than the GT gas only variant. Add the massive cost to it (~55k CAD after rebates) and I was laughing leaving the dealer. The Hornet GT (which I drove back to back with this one) was a much better driving car with a much more capable AWD system, but why would you get a hornet GT when you can get a CX5 / CX50 turbo? Or even a CX30 turbo for that matter.

I test drove the Mazda CX-5 against the Hornet GT and ended up buying the Hornet. The CX-5 was a fine vehicle, but it lacked the more spirited performance and sexy Italian style of the Hornet.

This is also a dressed down version of the Maserati Grecale, which is available as a 550 hp, 605 lb-ft EV or a 523 hp v6. I'd like to see underneath the Maserati to see how it compares to the Dodge.

We bought a new 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L limited with that new Uconnect5. It drove us nutz. We traded that Jeep in after only 6 months for a 2023 Cherokee Trailhawk with the good ole Uconnect4. With the Uconnect5 we would lose our seat memories or NAV while driving down the road. Configuring that digital dash was a nightmare.

the short answer is NO.

I like it .. I wouldn’t mind having one to be honest

There just aren't that many plug-in hybrid models out there that I'd want to drive. This one seems fun.. with 32 electric. If you do mostly town trips, just charge it at home.. no paying for gas, that sounds great. The lease deals look pretty good.

Should you buy the new Dodge Hornet ? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It’s sad when someone reacts in a knee-jerk fashion whenever they’re faced with balance or nuance. Ahmed doesn’t “sell out” when he presents the whole truth. He’s simply giving us food for thought. Sadly, the last thing most people want to do is actually think.

Says the man who's never owned or even driven one.

Just a little backstory. I have a 2014 ram 1500 Laramie. I like it quite a bit, I think the uconnect is a very good system and best that I've ever tried. I also liked the fact that it had separate buttons for most functions. I was looking forward to the Dodge Hornet, as I needed a small car as well to get around town and parking. I took a hard pass on the hornet, after quite a bit of research and actually went way off base and bought a used 2023 Subaru Outback Touring XT about 6 weeks ago. The Outback only had about 8,000 mi on it, and it was $10,000 cheaper than a new identical 2024 Outback. While the Subaru infotainment system isn't nearly as good as uconnect in my opinion, overall I like the Outback.

Pls review the new Camry XSE
