2023 Ford Edge vs 2023 Chevy Equinox

 


In the world of small and midsize SUVs, there's no shortage of vehicles to choose from. The class is packed full of models from just about every major manufacturer and that can make it difficult to sort through them all to find the one that's perfect for you.

The Ford Edge remains one of the most popular midsize SUVs on the market, especially for people looking for more legroom than the sometimes cramped feeling compact SUVs without stepping up to a full three row SUV. This is because of its smooth and reliable powertrain, numerous standard features as well as expansive trim options. But how does it stack up against this competition? Let's take a look at what it has to offer compared to the 2023 Chevy Equinox.

Size

The Ford Edge is slightly longer by about 5 inches and is about 3 inches taller and wider. This doesn't sound like much, but Ford takes full advantage of those inches and is able to deliver a remarkable 10 more cubic feet of storage space in the Edge. So you're not dealing with a size difference that would make the Ford more difficult to park or wind down crowded streets, while getting a remarkable amount of extra storage space. 

Powertrain

All trim levels of the Ford Edge come with a 250 hp turbo charged 4 cylinder engine and an AWD transmission. In contrast, the Equinox comes in at 175 horsepower and while AWD is certainly available, it's not present on every trim level. This substantial power difference translates into 2000 pounds more towing capacity in the Ford Edge. 

Technology

Both the Ford Edge and the Chevy Equinox offer remarkable technology suites and all the usual suspects are present. However, a number of features that come standard on the Edge are options or only available at upper trim levels on the Equinox. Blind Spot Awareness sensors, for instance, are standard on the base level Edge, but are only an option on the Equinox. 


The Ford Edge is a larger, roomier, more powerful and more well optioned vehicle than the Chevy Equinox. And that's just scratching the surface. We'd love to show you everything that the Ford Edge has to offer, so swing in today and let's get you behind the wheel!
