Comparison Review

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura ZDX will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Dodge Hornet, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Acura ZDX is much slimmer than the Dodge Hornet, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Acura ZDX, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Dodge Hornet.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Acura ZDX is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Acura ZDX greatly out-muscles the Dodge Hornet.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Acura ZDX does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Dodge Hornet.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Acura ZDX and the Dodge Hornet.
