Dodge Hornet data analysis

How Dodge Hornet combined fuel economy varies

Across 5 configurations recorded for the 2023 through 2025 Dodge Hornet, combined fuel economy runs from 24 MPG to 29 MPG. The strongest figure belongs to the 2024 Dodge Hornet (Auto 6-spd, 4 cyl, 1.3 L) at 29 MPG, and the weakest to the 2025 car (Auto 9-spd, 4 cyl, 2.0 L) at 24 MPG — a spread of 21%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Dodge Hornet would be misleading.

What changed for 2025

Average combined fuel economy for the 2025 Dodge Hornet is 26.5 MPG, against 26.5 MPG for the 2024 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.

How to read this Dodge Hornet data

This page lists every 2023 through 2025 Dodge Hornet record we hold for this measurement — 5 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Where these Dodge Hornet figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Dodge Hornet record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

Our Real-World Speed MPG Adjuster re-scales the Dodge Hornet EPA highway result with a quadratic drag term (mpg = hwy ÷ (1 + k·(v² − 60²)/60²), k = 0.55 for trucks, SUVs and vans, 0.42 for cars). Wind, roof racks, and a heavy right foot make it worse, never better.
