What Dodge Hornet do most buyers choose?

The Dodge Hornet years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-listing years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare, which can help you find the right price, color, and equipment mix. They also tend to be the years most shoppers cross-shop first, since supply is broad and deal availability is already solid.

What is the Dodge Hornet's resale value?

Both model years show meaningful price declines, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The movement is fairly similar across the two years, so neither one is holding value dramatically better than the other. For buyers, that creates a useful window to shop recent Hornets with some pricing softness already built in.

The 2023 and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
