Check out this Nissan Rogue vs. Ford Edge comparison from our team at 24 Auto Group to learn more about how these two stack up!
Providing a Versatile Ride That Emphasizes Efficiency
Of course, you likely first think of muscle when you direct your attention to the powertrain performance of these two SUVs. While both provide plenty of power, efficiency also plays an important role in the versatility offered to you.
Looking at the powertrain of the Nissan Rogue, you will find that an Xtronic® CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) comes standard. This transmission emphasizes seamless gear shifting, promoting effortless acceleration that prioritizes fuel efficiency.
Conversely, the Ford Edge features a traditional 8-speed automatic transmission. While this will provide a great performance, it does not emphasize efficiency in the same way.
Directing your attention to the fuel economy figures earned by these two SUVs as a result of these transmissions, and you will find that the Rogue edges out the Ford. The Rogue earns an EPA-estimated 27 city and 35 highway MPG, while the Edge earns an EPA-estimated 21 city and 28 highway MPG.1
Room for Cargo
As SUVs, it comes as no surprise that the Rogue and Edge both offer ample room for cargo carrying. While you could store your gear behind each SUV's respective second row, you may also find that you need to store larger items. Fortunately, both SUVs will accommodate this need, providing standard 60/40-split folding rear seats, which allow you to create more cargo room.
While both SUVs provide you with this ability, you will find the Rogue offers a bit more space. With the second row fully folded, the Rogue offers 74.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume. Conversely, the Edge offers 73.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume under the same conditions. While this difference appears slight, it could be the difference in storing an extra item or two.
Family Friendly SUVs
If you are looking for an SUV, it is reasonable to assume you may be traveling with family and friends. Accordingly, you will want your ride to provide a safe driving experience. The Rogue and Edge will do that with their driver-assistive technologies.
While behind the wheel of the Rogue and Edge, you will find that the two SUVs offer similar features. For example, both come standard with Lane Departure Warning systems. These systems use sensors to monitor the roads ahead, helping you remain centered within your lane should you start to drift.
The Nissan does offer an added feature, though. Its standard Intelligent Driver Alertness system will monitor your driving behavior, alerting you that it may be time for a break if you exhibit patterns of drowsy or distracted driving. Unfortunately, the Edge doesn't even offer this system as an available option.
Is the Nissan Rogue or Ford Edge Better?
Impressed with these two SUVs? With the performances they offer, it is not hard to see why. Though, with its more efficient powertrain, cargo accommodations, and safety tech, it is the Nissan Rogue that narrowly edges out the Ford SUV for local drivers.
