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). When looking only at MSRP, the Chevrolet Equinox will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Dodge Hornet.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Equinox is much slimmer than the Dodge Hornet, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chevrolet Equinox, which is slightly longer than the Dodge Hornet.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Equinox has a lot less horsepower than the Dodge Hornet.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Equinox 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 Chevrolet Equinox and the Dodge Hornet.
