2019 Ford Edge vs. Its Competition

Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The Ford Edge competes with some lovely and pricey five-seat crossover SUVs, and with some less expensive commuter specials, too.

Among those rivals, the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain are the newest.

They’re slightly smaller, with a more economical focus in their engine lineups, with simple infotainment systems and all-wheel-drive options.

The Hyundai Santa Fe shares the Edge's more compact appeal (versus the long-wheelbase Santa Fe XL) and its turbocharged engine is energetic, as is its swoopy interior.

The Nissan Murano is very passenger-comfort oriented, and it has a relaxed V-6-and-CVT setup that feels like the polar opposite of the twin-turbo Edge ST.

The Murano is soft, elegant, and a bit traditional on the inside, although we like its bold exterior, plus it gets impressive mileage with a V-6.

Lastly, the Honda CR-V lands on many shopping lists for good reason: it’s always efficient with its use of fuel and space, and safety scores are strong.
