VS.
The Hornet comes in four trim levels, ranging from the affordable GT model to the top-of-the-line R/T Plus. The RAV4 comes in eleven trims, from the budget-conscious LE to the pricier Hybrid Limited. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer at the base configuration, so let’s go through the standard features of the 2025 Dodge Hornet GT vs. the 2025 Toyota RAV4 LE.
The Hornet has a lively 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine, delivering 268 horsepower. A 9-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive as a standard feature provides an agile driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 21 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, the Hornet is both fun to drive and practical.
The RAV4 has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 203 horsepower. Featuring an 8-speed automatic transmission with front wheel drive and an estimated 27 MPG city / 35 MPG highway, the RAV4 is also a sensible option.
Altogether, both the Hornet and RAV4 are more than serviceable performers in most circumstances.
The Dodge Hornet has an impressive bundle of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include blind spot warning, forward collision mitigation, rear parking sensors, distance pacing cruise control, and more.
The Toyota RAV4 also delivers when it comes to safety. The RAV4 boasts a driver assist package that includes hill start control, stability control, brake assist, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, and more.
If you like an inviting interior with modern amenities, you’ll probably like the Hornet. Step inside to discover dual-zone air conditioning, adjustable front seats, and stylish black upholstery. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless phone connectivity, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and all the conveniences you’ve come to expect from a well-equipped vehicle.
We have no major complaints about the RAV4’s interior. With adjustable front seats, plenty of storage compartments, and 98.9 cubic feet of passenger volume, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. 6-speaker audio, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and more make for a sufficient infotainment setup.
Dodge is known for American muscle. The 2025 Hornet lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Toyota RAV4 is also a well-rounded option. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Dodge Hornet can’t be beat.
