Vehicle Comparison Rundown
The Chevrolet Equinox and the Ford Edge are both two-row SUVs, but they represent two different size classes. The Chevrolet Equinox is a compact, while the Ford Edge is midsize. They both come with front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, and they both seat five.
But the similarities between the Chevrolet Equinox and the Ford Edge stop there. The Equinox has a standard engine with 170 horsepower, but the Edge’s standard engine comes with 245 horsepower. If you’d like an engine upgrade, the Equinox offers 252 horsepower, and the Edge goes up to 315 horsepower.
As you might expect, there is a difference in cargo space. When their rear seats are folded, the Equinox has 63.5 cubic feet and the Edge has 73.4. Again, the Edge is a larger vehicle, so no surprise there.
If you’re deciding between the Chevrolet Equinox and the Ford Edge, it comes down to a matter of space. While both will seat five, the Edge gives you more space to stretch out and more cargo space. But if overall size is a concern, you may prefer the Equinox’s smaller wheelbase, length and width, especially if you drive in a congested area where maneuverability and ease of parking are concerns. Test drive them both on your daily route and see which one does a better job for you.
