2024 Dodge Hornet vs Mazda CX-30 at Devon Chrysler

2024 Dodge Hornet vs Mazda CX-30 in Devon, AB

The all-new 2024 Dodge Hornet is set to dethrone the Mazda CX-30 as the most fun-to-drive vehicle in the sub-compact crossover SUV segment. Continue reading below as our team of Dodge enthusiasts here at Devon Chrysler compare the performance, technology & pricing of these two driver-oriented vehicles.

Performance

When it comes to powertrain options, the Dodge Hornet makes it easy with its single high-output 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that generates more horsepower than all of the CX-30’s available engines. On the other hand, the CX-30 is available with three different four-cylinder engines, depending on the trim level. To get a CX-30 that’s comparable to the Hornet’s performance, you’d have to opt for the most expensive GT model and pay an extra $2,400* to get the turbocharged engine.

Technology

The Dodge Hornet’s modern and technology laden interior boasts standard features like a 12.3-inch driver digital display and 10.25-inch Uconnect® 5 multimedia system, as well as an available 14-speaker Harman Kardon® premium sound system and 360-degree camera system. On the other hand, the Mazda CX-30 is equipped with an 8.8-inch display, an optional 12-speaker Bose® sound system, and requires you to pay for a multi-year subscription to enable a handful of connected vehicle features.

Pricing

The 2024 Dodge Hornet starts at a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $41,440* for the Hornet GT and $47,440* for the GT Plus model. On the other hand, the 2023 Mazda CX-30 ranges from $29,576* for the base model GX to around $38,376* for a non-turbo GT model. Although there is a significant price difference between the two, to get a CX-30 that’s comparable to even the entry-level Dodge Hornet GT’s performance & standard features, you’d have to opt for the range topping CX-30 GT Turbo that starts at $40,776*.
