The 2023 Honda HR-V is one of the top competitors in the crossover market and has a starting price of $23,650. However, the price is noticeably less than the Dodge Hornet, which results in the driver receiving fewer features and ultimately being unsatisfied.
The 2023 Honda HR-V comes built with a 7-inch touchscreen. This touchscreen allows drivers to take advantage of the HondaLink app, which provides information about your car, plus apple car play and android auto. In addition, the vehicle's cabin has comfort features that push the narrative of being spacious with multiple cargo modes, available heated front seats, and a touch-based automatic climate control system. However, though the HR-V contains plenty of comfort features, it does not compare to the versatility and convenience the 2023 Dodge Hornet offers.
Regarding safety, the Honda HR-V features the Honda Sensing Suite, which includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning. Though these features may be appealing, they mainly focus on assisting the driver rather than avoiding accidents and keeping everyone in the vehicle passively safe and with peace of mind.
Lastly, The 2023 Honda HR-V has performance features similar to the Dodge Hornet. The SUV features an in-line 4-cylinder engine that produces 158 horsepower and a hill descent control system. This vehicle has a smaller engine, less power, and receives less efficient fuel economy than the Hornet's engine. However, the Honda HR-V features a real-time all-wheel drive that sends power to all four wheels helping with uneven terrain and inclement weather.
