Looking for a crossover SUV to take you down Merriam streets in style? There are lots of these vehicles on the market now, but drivers often narrow their search to two storied American brands: the 2021 Chevy Equinox vs. Ford Edge. While the Ford SUV is impressive, the Equinox really shines through when you research these vehicles in-depth. Hendrick Chevrolet Shawnee Mission answers the question, “Chevy Equinox or Ford Edge?”, below!

Equinox vs. Edge: Engines and Fuel Economy

The Ford Edge vs. Chevrolet Equinox matchup should definitely start with what’s under the hood. Kansas City drivers expect good performance from their crossover SUVs, and good fuel economy is a must. So, which has superior engine specs, the Chevy Equinox or Ford Edge?

2021 Chevy Equinox Engine: 

  • 1.5L Turbo 4-Cylinder
  • 170 hp
  • 203 lb-ft of torque
  • 26/31 city/hwy mpg

2021 Ford Edge Engine: 

  • 2.0L EcoBoost
  • 250 hp
  • 280 lb-ft of torque
  • 21/29 city/hwy mpg

The Ford Edge vs. Chevy Equinox matchup clearly goes in favor of Chevy when you look at Equinox fuel economy. Additionally, the Chevy Equinox also saves you money from the get-go, with a significantly lower entry price than the Ford Edge for a powerful turbo engine.

Equinox vs. Edge: Size and Passenger Dimensions

Those checking out a crossover to make parking jobs in Shawnee Mission easier have probably wondered about the Equinox vs. Edge size. Here are some of the more important specs to consider:

  • Equinox vs. Edge Size: With 183.1 inches of overall length, the Equinox is better at fitting into those tight spaces and helping you maneuver around than the 188.8-inch-long Ford Edge.
  • Equinox vs. Edge Passenger Dimensions: Even though it is a smaller vehicle, the Equinox offers comparable headroom to the Edge in both the front and rear. With the Equinox, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for a smaller size!

Ford Edge vs. Chevrolet Equinox: Safety Features

When you’re comparing the Ford Edge vs. Chevy Equinox safety features, you’re comparing the Ford Co-Pilot 360™ system and the Chevy Safety Assist Suite. They both come with some now-essential features for the modern Overland Park driver, like:

  • Lane Keep Assist
  • Rear Vision Camera
  • Blind Spot Information
  • Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Emergency Braking

But Chevy Safety Assist comes with some standard features and available features that aren’t a part of the initial Ford Co-Pilot 360™ package:

  • Following Distance Indicator
  • Rear Seat Reminder
  • Teen Driver Technology
  • Available Safety Alert Seat
  • Available Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Available Lane Change Alert
