Looking for a fuel-efficient SUV for your commute to Van Wert, OH? The 2024 Chevy Equinox gets good gas mileage, and it has two rows of roomy seats. The 2024 Ford Edge is also a two-row SUV, but it's not as efficient or easy to maneuver as the Equinox. Jim Schmidt Chevrolet Of Delphos has a wide selection of Equinox models in our new inventory, and we've developed the following comparison to help you choose between these two crossovers.
Performance
Maneuverability
The 2024 Chevy Equinox is only around 15 feet long, so it has a fairly small turning radius. Its light, accurate steering makes it simple to park and navigate through tight spaces in Lima, OH.
The 2024 Ford Edge also has well-weighted steering, but it's nearly five inches longer than the Equinox, so it is a bit more difficult to maneuver through crowded parking lots and narrow lanes.
Fuel Economy
Frequently changing gas prices make good fuel economy a must. Wapakoneta, OH drivers will appreciate that the 2024 Chevy Equinox earns 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway in front-wheel drive models. All-wheel drive versions return 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.
The 2024 Ford Edge only delivers 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway with its most efficient powertrain configuration.
Interior
Passenger Space & Comfort
Although the 2024 Chevy Equinox is a compact SUV, it offers a surprising amount of room for a family of five in St. Mary's, OH to stretch out and relax. Its well-cushioned second row of seats can slide back and forth to open up as much as 40 inches of rear legroom.
The 2024 Ford Edge is a midsize SUV with seating for five, yet it only has 40.6 inches of backseat legroom. Its second-row seats do not slide, and they could use a little more padding.
Infotainment System
A feature-filled infotainment keeps you entertained during dull drives through afternoon traffic in Continental, OH. However, it should also be uncomplicated to operate while you're on the road. The 2024 Chevy Equinox's infotainment system has an intuitive interface, sharp graphics, and clearly visible icons that make it a cinch to run. It also has numerous physical controls on the steering wheel and center stack for added convenience. Wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto come standard in the Equinox.
The 2024 Ford Edge has a larger touchscreen than the Equinox, but it's not as user-friendly. It has a slightly cluttered menu layout, and too many functions and controls rely on the touchscreen, which can be distracting while driving. Apple Carplay and Android Auto require a wired connection in the Edge, as wireless smartphone integration is not available.
Rear-Seat Alert
Safety is a priority with Chevrolet, even when your Equinox is parked. That's why every 2024 Equinox trim comes with rear-seat alert. This feature reminds Delphos drivers to check the back seats for kids or pets before exiting the vehicle. This helps ensure that you won't leave animals or children in the Equinox on excessively hot days.
The 2024 Ford Edge has many standard advanced active safety features, but rear-seat alert is not offered in any Edge model.
