2026 Dodge Hornet compact SUV — although (important) production for the 2026 model year has effectively been ended or severely limited due to tariff and market issues, and Dodge has confirmed it’s being discontinued, meaning new 2026 Hornets may be hard to find. 

🚗 2026 Dodge Hornet — City / Highway MPG

Most commonly available Hornet specs (based on EPA estimates from Hornet sales and spec sheets):

• City: ~21 mpg

• Highway: ~29 mpg

• Combined: ~24 mpg (rough EPA range for 2025/2026 Hornet trims with the 2.0 L turbo engine) 

These figures come from dealer spec sheets and EPA ratings that carry over into 2026 versions of the Hornet — generally shared across gas models like the GT and similar trims.

⛽ Notes on the Hornet

• The Hornet uses a 2.0 L turbo 4-cyl engine with AWD and a 9-speed automatic, giving it competitive efficiency for a compact SUV. 

• EPA results like 21 city / 29 highway mpg are similar to what Car and Driver measured on earlier Hornet tests. 

• There was also a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) R/T variant, but those figures are more about combined efficiency and electric range rather than standard mpg.

⚠️ Important 2026 Context

Dodge has officially ended production of the Hornet and removed it from its 2026 lineup as part of a strategic shift toward performance vehicles — so even though EPA numbers exist, the 2026 Hornet may not be widely sold new. Dodge has assured ongoing support for existing owners.
