Comparison Review

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Cadillac XT5, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Dodge Hornet.

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 XT5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Dodge Hornet, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT5 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 XT5, 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 XT5 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT5 has a little less horsepower than the Dodge Hornet.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 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 Cadillac XT5 and the Dodge Hornet.
