2024 Dodge Hornet vs. Jeep Compass Engines & Specs
You’ll find capable and energetic engines in both the 2024 Dodge Hornet and 2024 Jeep Compass. The Dodge Hornet offers two robust engine choices for a driving experience that's both exhilarating and efficient — the turbocharged 2.0L inline four-cylinder (I4) Hurricane4 engine in the GT and GT Plus trims that generates 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque and the 1.3L plug-in hybrid I4 in the R/T and R/T Plus models, boasting 288 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The Jeep Compass is powered by a 2.0L turbo I4 that produces 200 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque.
The more off-road capable Jeep Compass gets slightly better fuel efficiency with its 2.0L turbo I4 gas engine and standard 4x4 drivetrain than the 2.0L I4 Hurricane4 turbo gas engine and standard all-wheel drive (AWD) in the Dodge Hornet. However, the hybrid engine configuration in the Dodge Hornet takes fuel efficiency to the next level. Enjoy up to 77 combined MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent) with the 1.3L I4 turbo plug-in hybrid engine with eAWD, which provides a total driving range of 360 miles, including 32 miles solely on electric power.

THERE IS NO COOLING-OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION
California law does not provide for a “cooling-off” or other cancellation period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be canceled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud.
However, California law does require a seller to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement does not apply to the sale of a recreational vehicle, a motorcycle, or an off-highway motor vehicle subject to identification under California law. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
