A compact SUV with a performance streak
Drive a Hornet
The Dodge Hornet is a compact, five-seat SUV with real punch and standard AWD on every trim. Choose the 2.0L turbo GT or the plug-in hybrid R/T, or compare the full lineup of Dodge rentals on Turo. With 2025 as its final model year, a Dodge Hornet SUV rental puts you behind the wheel of a short, finished chapter in Dodge history.
On Turo, you book your Hornet from a local vehicle owner and choose a pickup or delivery option that fits your plans. Hornet listings already appear in several US cities, so you can search right where you're headed. Check the listing details to see whether you're getting the gas-powered GT or the plug-in hybrid R/T.

Turbocharged power with standard AWD
The Hornet GT runs on a 2.0L turbo that makes 268 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic. Standard AWD comes on every trim, and the GT sprints 0–60 mph in 6.5 sec. The GT still earns EPA ratings of 21 city, 29 hwy, and 24 combined mpg — solid returns for this much go.
Plug-in hybrid efficiency in the R/T
The Hornet R/T is a plug-in hybrid, not a full EV. Its 15.5 kWh battery delivers more than 30 miles of electric range, so short errands can run on electric power alone. When the battery runs low, the hybrid system keeps you moving without a stop at a charging station.
The R/T brings the heat, too: 288 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, plus an electric motor that drives the rear axle. Tap the temporary PowerShot boost and the R/T runs 0–60 mph in 5.6 sec. In hybrid mode, it returns 29 mpg combined — a sweet spot if you want efficiency and thrills in one compact SUV.
A cockpit built around the driver
The Hornet's cabin puts the tech you use most within easy reach. A 12.3-in digital cluster sits behind the wheel and keeps key driving info in your line of sight. In the center, Uconnect 5 runs on a 10.25-in touchscreen that handles your music, maps, and calls.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without a cable, so your playlists and maps are ready before you leave the curb. That matters on a rental, when you're in an unfamiliar car and often an unfamiliar city. Pair your phone once at pickup, and the Hornet feels like yours for the rest of the trip.
Stand out with a Hornet
Yes, the Dodge Hornet is an SUV — a compact SUV sized for city streets, weekend trips, and couples or small families. Five seats and 27.0 cu ft of GT cargo space (54.7 cu ft folded) give you room without the bulk of a bigger ride. Browse compact SUV rental listings on Turo to compare your options, then pick the Hornet when you want a dose of Dodge attitude.
Top Hornet features
A final-generation collectible
Three things set the Hornet apart: its final-generation status, its practical space, and its standard safety tech.
The Hornet had a short run. Dodge sold it for the 2023–2025 model years only, and production has ended, so the supply of Hornets won't grow. Every one you find on Turo belongs to a finished chapter of the brand's story.
It's also the first compact SUV of this generation from Dodge, which gives it a special place in the lineup. A Hornet rental lets you try a model Dodge isn't building anymore — and judge its blend of compact size and Dodge muscle yourself. Book one for a weekend and you'll have a firsthand take on a model with a built-in story.
Room for real life
The Hornet seats five, and its cargo area holds more than its compact footprint suggests. In the GT, you get 27.0 cu ft behind the second row and 54.7 cu ft with the rear seats folded. The R/T offers slightly less, with 22.9 and 50.5 cu ft.
That's room for airport luggage, a weekend's worth of gear, or a big grocery run. Fold the rear seats and two travelers can load bulky bags without stacking them to the roof. Keep the seats up for a small family, and you'll still fit strollers and duffels — in a compact SUV that stays easy to park.
Safety tech as standard
Every Hornet comes with a core set of driver-assist features, so you don't need to hunt for a specific trim to get them. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection watches the road ahead and can apply the brakes if you don't react in time. Blind-spot monitoring flags vehicles in the spots your mirrors miss.
Parking sensors round out the set and help you ease into tight spaces in crowded lots and parking garages. These aids earn their keep when you're driving in a city you don't know well. Busy lanes, unfamiliar merges, and narrow parking spots all feel calmer when the Hornet helps you keep watch.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Hornet
Get to know your Hornet
A little prep goes a long way with the Hornet. Know your trim, your fuel, and your charging plan before pickup.
Start by checking the listing for the trim, since the GT and R/T drive differently. The R/T can run on electric power alone for short trips, while the GT relies on its 2.0L turbo. The Hornet's recommended fuel is premium, so plan on it at the gas station.
If you want a larger Dodge SUV, check out the Dodge Durango. For classic muscle-car energy, look at the Dodge Charger or the Dodge Challenger.
Hornet driving tips
A few habits help you get the most from your Hornet: Know your trim before you set out, since the GT and R/T deliver power differently. Charge the R/T whenever you can to maximize electric miles. Ease into the throttle, since both trims deliver quick acceleration. Use blind-spot monitoring and parking sensors in tight spots.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
