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 Cadillac OPTIQ will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Dodge Hornet, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac OPTIQ 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 Cadillac OPTIQ, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Dodge Hornet.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Dodge Hornet is clearly the choice over the Cadillac OPTIQ for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac OPTIQ has a little more horsepower than the Dodge Hornet.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Cadillac OPTIQ transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Dodge Hornet.

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