2024 Dodge Hornet fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2024 Dodge Hornet at 24–29 MPG combined; the 1.3L 4-cylinder turbo + 89 kW motor (AWD) is the most efficient and the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo (AWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Range | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hornet AWD | 2.0L 4-cylinder turboSIDI; stop-start | 9-speed automatic · AWD | 21MPG | 29MPG | 24MPG | — | $2,600 | 371 |
| Hornet PHEV AWD | 1.3L 4-cylinder turbo + 89 kW motorSIDI; PHEV | 6-speed automatic · AWD | 29MPG | 29MPG | 29MPG | 360 mi | $2,150 | 120 |
| On electricity: 77 MPGe combined (77 city / 77 highway), 33 miles of electric range, 44 kWh per 100 miles. EPA blended gas-and-electric rating: 47 MPG. | ||||||||
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.
2024 Dodge Hornet wheels & tires
Factory tire and wheel sizes, spare and the pressure to run, from the spec sheet and owner's manual.
| Fits | Tire | Wheel | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| GT and GT Plus (AWD) | P215/60HR17 | 17 × 7 in, aluminum | all-season, black sidewall |
Hornet R/T (plug-in hybrid)
| Fits | Tire | Wheel | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| R/T and R/T Plus (eAWD) | P225/55VR18 | 18 × 7.5 in, aluminum | all-season, black sidewall |
- Cold tire pressure
- Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
- Spare
- Compact spare, non-matching full-size spare or tire service kit instead of a spare, depending on equipment; the spare, if fitted, goes under the rear load floor and has no pressure sensor.
- Lug nut torque
- 88.5 ft-lb (120 N·m), M12 x 1.25 thread, 17 mm socket
- Pressure monitor
- A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.
Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2024 Dodge Hornet Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2024 Dodge Hornet maintenance schedule
The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.
A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.
- Inspect the brake linings, replace if necessary
- Inspect the front suspension, tie rod ends and boot seals, replace if necessary
- Inspect the CV/Universal joints
- Replace brake fluid every two years, regardless of mileage
- Replace the cabin air filter

Reading the 2024 Hornet data for Great Lakes roads
None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2024 Dodge Hornet lines that matter for a Lansing winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.
Tire choices for squall and thaw
Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P215/60R17 on 17-inch wheels to P225/55R18 on 18-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.
Rust-through coverage against road salt
The spec comparison lists corrosion perforation coverage of 60 months / unlimited miles. That covers body sheet metal that rusts through; it is not a promise about the brake lines, fuel lines, exhaust or frame hardware that take the worst of Michigan and Ohio salt. Use an underbody wash during mild spells, and rinse the underside thoroughly once the salt trucks stop.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Factory oil: SAE 0W-30 (1.3L) and SAE 5W-30 (2.0L), 5 qt (1.3L) and 5 qt (2.0L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.
Battery checks before the cold
The schedule includes a battery inspection at each oil change, with the terminals cleaned and tightened as required. Do it before the first cold snap: corrosion at the terminals adds resistance exactly when a frozen engine needs the most current from the battery. A load test each fall is worth adding once the battery is a few winters old.
Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows
This model year offers all-wheel drive. In Michigan, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.
Pressure, potholes and the thermometer
Whatever size the Hornet wears, from the factory P215/60R17 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.
Brake fluid, long descents and salted lines
The schedule lists brake fluid replacement starting at 20,000 miles. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, and a long descent off a Tennessee or West Virginia ridge is exactly where brakes get hot enough for that to matter. In Michigan and Ohio, have the steel brake lines checked for salt corrosion whenever the wheels are off.
Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads
Listed ground clearance: 6.1 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.
Capacities, ratings and service intervals: Stellantis data for the 2024 Hornet. The Great Lakes reading of them is independent and is not factory or dealer advice.
