2024 Ford Edge vs. 2024 Ford Explorer

At Spitzer Ford St. Marys, our model showroom includes numerous SUV models, such as the 2024 Ford Explorer and the 2024 Ford Edge. But how do you differentiate these Ford SUVs, and how do you know which is the right match for you? Our team will go over the differences in interior space and engine specs below, so follow along!

Edge vs. Explorer: Interior Dimensions

Right off the bat, these new Ford SUVs differ in terms of their seating capacity– the Edge seats up to 5 people while the Explorer seats up to 7. If you have a growing family and you’re trading in for a vehicle that’s big enough to seat your crew, then the Explorer’s third row of seating is non-negotiable. However, if that’s not the case for you in Kane, then you will find the Edge to have plenty of space for your needs! Take a moment to go over the dimensions for these models here:

Edge vs. Explorer: Engine Specs

While the interior space probably would’ve given you a great idea of which model is right for you, you might be curious about the power of these SUVs. Both Ford SUVs provide exceptional performance, but the Explorer offers the most power. You may go for the available 2.7L Ecoboost® V6 engine in the Edge to access more than the standard horsepower the Explorer provides.
