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). Clearly, the Dodge Hornet is a better financial choice over the Kia EV9, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Kia EV9, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Dodge Hornet, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia EV9.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Kia EV9 is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Hornet has a lot less horsepower than the Kia EV9.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Kia EV9, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Dodge Hornet has less seating than the Kia EV9, making the Kia EV9 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
