Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Hornet as you will with the Volvo XC40, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Dodge Hornet is a better financial choice over the Volvo XC40, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Volvo XC40, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Dodge Hornet takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Volvo XC40.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Volvo XC40 is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. The Dodge Hornet has a little more horsepower than the Volvo XC40.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Volvo XC40, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Dodge Hornet and the Volvo XC40.
