Used 2024 Dodge Hornet for Sale nearFort Myers, FL

How much does the 2024 Dodge Hornet cost?

Prices have softened 10.98% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 995 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable selection to compare.

Is the 2024 Dodge Hornet a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Dodge Hornet earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The Hornet’s appeal comes from its compact-crossover packaging with a performance-minded personality, standard all-wheel drive, and strong powertrain choices. It also brings an impressive tech setup that helps the cabin feel more modern than many Dodge models.

The trade-offs are clear: the back seat is claustrophobic, cargo space is limited, and the R/T trim offers poor value. For you, that means the Hornet makes the most sense if you want a small utility vehicle with more energy and personality than the average rival.

34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there’s some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Dodge Hornet reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Hornet’s reliability case is helped by its straightforward gas-engine setup in the GT and its standard all-wheel drive, while the R/T adds a more complex plug-in hybrid system. The expert review also points to a cabin and controls setup that feels modern and easy to live with, which supports day-to-day ownership confidence.

The Hornet’s standard equipment and user-friendly tech should make it approachable, but the more complicated R/T powertrain can raise long-term ownership complexity for used buyers.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Dodge Hornet?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim or more heavily optioned example. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific car you’re looking at.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The GT and GT Plus use the regular gas engine, while the R/T and R/T Plus use the more advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain. The base gas trim gets the core Hornet look and standard all-wheel drive, while the higher trims add more equipment and the R/T line carries the more complex setup.
• Powertrain: The GT uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, while the R/T adds a 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 15.5-kWh battery, and two electric motors for 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The GT requires premium fuel, and the R/T can drive on electricity for roughly 30 miles on a full charge.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. A more advanced version with traffic-sign recognition is available for an extra cost, and level 2 autonomous driving functions are available with the Tech Pack.
• Infotainment: The Hornet uses a 10.25-inch touchscreen with UConnect 5, plus a 12.3-inch digital driver information display. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, and wireless charging is available.
• Fuel efficiency: The GT should return 21 mpg in the city, 29 highway, and 24 combined. The R/T’s EPA fuel economy figures are not stated.

Which 2024 Dodge Hornet trim should I buy?

The 2024 Dodge Hornet is offered in 4 trim levels: GT, GT Plus, R/T, and R/T Plus.

Here's the short version:

• GT: This is the best-value choice if you want the Hornet’s core personality without stepping into the pricier plug-in hybrid side of the lineup. It gives you the 2.0-liter turbo engine, standard all-wheel drive, and the strongest balance of performance and everyday cost control.
• GT Plus: Choose this if you want the gas model but want more equipment than the GT. It keeps the same basic powertrain character while moving you up the range for added features.
• R/T: This trim adds the plug-in hybrid powertrain, more torque, and electric driving capability, but the expert review says it offers poor value. It makes sense mainly if you specifically want the PHEV setup.
• R/T Plus: This is the most expensive route and is best for shoppers who want the most heavily equipped Hornet with the plug-in hybrid system. It’s the least compelling value play, but it delivers the top-end version of the lineup.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Dodge Hornet?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 995 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.98% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,618, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Dodge Hornet's resale value?

The current average of $22,618 sits slightly below last year's $25,407.

That decline suggests the Hornet has moved into a more buyer-friendly pricing position, which can help future resale if you buy at the right number. If you pay close to the current average, your room for appreciation is limited, but a lower purchase price gives you a better cushion later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Dodge Hornet safe?

The 2024 Dodge Hornet has not been evaluated or crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. You also get a more advanced adaptive cruise setup with traffic-sign recognition available for an extra cost, and the Tech Pack adds level 2 autonomous driving functions with intelligent speed assist and lane-tracing assist.

Should I buy a 2024 Dodge Hornet or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.98% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model year adds the plug-in hybrid R/T and keeps the Hornet’s strong tech and standard all-wheel drive.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $22,405, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $22,618 average.
• It introduced the Hornet as a compact utility vehicle with style, standard all-wheel drive, and easy-to-use technology.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current pricing, broad inventory, and the latest model-year setup, the 2024 is the better starting point. If you’re mainly focused on spending a little less, the 2023 is the sensible alternative, especially if you find one in good condition with the equipment you want.
