Comparison Review

Convenience
With the Kia Niro, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Dodge Hornet, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Dodge Hornet is somewhat more expensive than the Kia Niro.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Kia Niro, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Hornet, which is slightly longer than the Kia Niro.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Hornet greatly out-muscles the Kia Niro.

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

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