About this model
The Dodge Hornet is a compact crossover SUV marketed by Dodge exclusively in North America from the 2023 through 2025 model years. Produced in Italy, it is a rebadged, restyled variant of the Alfa Romeo Tonale at a lower price. The all-wheel-drive vehicle was positioned as the brand's smallest and most affordable model, its first plug-in hybrid, and its first new model since 2011. Due to slow sales and the impact of the Second Trump Administration's new 25% tariff on imports, the Hornet was discontinued after the 2025 model year.
