Comparison Review

Convenience
With the Volkswagen Taos, 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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Dodge Hornet takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volkswagen Taos.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Hornet greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Volkswagen Taos, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

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