2023 Ford Escape vs 2023 Ford Edge

Serving Fort Mill, SC

When choosing between the compact Escape crossover and the midsize Edge in Ford's 2023 lineup, looking closely at what each model offers is essential. These popular and well-established vehicles provide two rows of seating and many comparable features but also deliver distinct on-the-road experiences. Before making your final decision, let's explore the critical aspects of the 2023 Ford Escape and the 2023 Ford Edge.

Performance

The 2023 Escape is available with two gas engines as well as hybrid and plug-in hybrid options. The gas-powered variants include a 180-horsepower turbo three-cylinder unit and a 250-horsepower turbo four-cylinder alternative. The hybrid model features a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine generating 210 combined horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid version offers similar capabilities. On the other hand, the 2023 Edge mostly comes equipped with a 250-horsepower, turbo four-cylinder system across its trims, except for the top trim, which boasts a powerful 335-horsepower turbo V6 engine.

Appearance

In terms of appearance, the 2023 Escape showcases fresh styling updates, such as a wide grille with radiant mesh and wedge-style LED headlights. A short, tapered hood and bold roof curvature further accentuate its sporty look. The sides feature deep contours and thick molding, adding to its appeal. On the other hand, the 2023 Ford Edge presents taller and flatter surfaces along its profile, with a grille that extends to a point on both sides. The headlights are more extensive and adorned with a striking LED accent. Prominent molding and well-defined fenders complete the Edge's distinctive design.

Features

Both the 2023 Escape and the 2023 Edge come equipped with a wide array of high-quality features and modern technologies. Shared amenities include an automated parking system, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, a head-up display, Ford Co-Pilot 360 safety technology, a wireless charging pad, a 13.2-inch touch display screen, and a navigation system. Depending on the chosen trim, the Edge may also offer accent stitching, suede accents, a front-facing camera, and additional features.
