Dodge dealers are offloading leftover Hornets at deep discounts, with some models selling under $20,000
Dodge’s Hornet arrived with little more than a thud. Despite Italian flair both inside and out, a largely positive driving experience, and some great colors, it never sold well. Now, Dodge has killed it, and dealers are doing all they can to get the remaining examples off of their lots and into customers’ garages. In some cases, they’re knocking nearly 50 percent off the original sticker price.

For anyone still interested in picking one up new, there are some surprisingly strong deals out there, and they’re likely to get even better. Dealers are clearly motivated to move inventory, especially with 2024 models still hanging around into 2026.
Here’s a new 2024 Hornet GT AWD version in Florida for $19,748, down from an MSRP of $34,920. That’s a 43.4 percent discount, and it doesn’t require qualifying for any special incentives. Those willing to put up with some miles on their car can find a Hornet for less than $18,000.
Keep in mind that the new ones out there, like this one with an MSRP of $43,025 and a selling price of $24,750 come with a full factory warranty. That’s a heck of a lot of car and coverage for the price of a base Chevrolet Trax.
Is an R/T Worth the Extra Miles?
Those leaning toward the plug-in hybrid version might want to check out a 2024 Hornet R/T we came across in Connecticut. It has 13,300 miles on it, with an original MSRP of $46,615. The dealer now lists it for $22,452. That’s a cut of nearly 52 percent. But it gets better. With all available incentives, eligible buyers could bring the price down to just $19,452 before taxes and fees, a total savings of 58.3 percent

Importantly, it’s been a part of the loaner fleet there, so it does have some miles on it, but the dealer says it’s still subject to the factory warranty. That’s an absolute no-brainer for anyone searching for a car in the $20,000-$25,000 price range.
The Hornet R/T comes with all-wheel drive, over 30 miles of all-electric range, 288 hp (214 kW), and a 0-60 mph time of just 5.6 seconds. During our review of the GT, which has slightly less power but the same general chassis tuning, we found it to be excellent from behind the wheel in most regards. Perhaps the best part of all of this is that the deal in Connecticut isn’t unique.
It’s no secret that high prices kept buyers away from the Hornet. Now that it’s leaving the U.S. market for good now might be the time to snap one up at a steep discount.
