Ford Edge vs. Honda CR-V & Jeep Grand Cherokee

How the 2021 Ford Edge Compares to its Competition

More and more drivers in Springfield are going from the small sedan to a larger SUV that has more passenger and cargo space. The 2021 Ford Edge has the space, power, and features that make it stand out against other SUVs in its class, like the 2021 Honda CR-V and the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

2021 Ford Edge vs. 2021 Honda CR-V

Even if you are not going to be towing your boat to the Sangamon River in Riverton, you still want to know that the engine on the SUV you buy is powerful. The 2021 Ford Edge has a more potent engine than the 2021 Honda CR-V. The 2021 Ford Edge gets its power from a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine that puts out 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This engine gets paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available.

 

 

However, if you want a more powerful engine, the Ford Edge ST trim level gets its power from a 2.7L V6 twin-turbocharged engine that puts out 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. This engine gets combined with a seven-speed automatic transmission that throws its power to all-wheel drive.

You get the opportunity to customize the 2021 Ford Edge more than you get with the 2021 Honda CR-V. The Ford Edge has nine exterior options compared to the seven options on the 2021 Honda CR-V. Having more color options makes sure that you can choose a color that will match your style or personality. Some of the nine exterior color options on the Ford Edge include:

• Rapid Red
• Atlas Blue
• Burgundy Velvet
• Desert Gold

SUVs are notorious for having a lot of room in the cabin for both you, your front passengers, and your rear passengers. Your passengers have more space to stretch out on long road trips out of Auburn in the Ford Edge than in the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The seating dimensions on the Ford Edge include:

 

Front Row Dimensions

• 42.6 inches of legroom
• 40.2 inches of headroom
• 55.9 inches of hip room
• 60.3 inches of shoulder room

Rear Row Dimension

• 40.6 inches of legroom
• 40.3 inches of headroom
• 57.5 inches of hip room
• 60.5 inches of shoulder room

This passenger volume also lends itself to more cargo volume. Packing your vehicle with groceries or new furniture for your house in Chatham is easier in the Ford Edge because it has a larger cargo capacity than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. With all of the seats in place, the Ford Edge has 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. However, with the different seating configuration, the Ford Edge maxes its cargo capacity out at 73.4 cubic feet of space. This is much more than the 68.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

  

Driving around in the Ford Edge will give you peace of mind with standard Ford Co-Pilot360 and all of the advanced safety features that come with it. Some of these standard and available advanced safety features include:

• Blind-spot monitor with cross-traffic alert
• Lane keeping system
• Forward collision mitigation
• Adaptive cruise control
• Evasive steering assist
