TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Chevrolet Equinox has one of the most spacious, quiet, and versatile interiors among smaller crossovers, and it loads on the value.

The 2016 Ford Edge has everything you might want in a tech-focused, stylish crossover—as long as you don't require third-row seating or a luxury badge.

TCC Likes

Great 4-cylinder gas mileage
Quiet interior
Plenty of reconfigurable space

Precise steering
Focused Sport model
Nicely detailed cabin

TCC Dislikes

Outward visibility isn’t great
Lackluster premium audio option
Has the interior purged its cheap bits yet?

No third-row seat
Flat seat cushions
Real-world mpg concerns
