Check out this comparison to discover which vehicle we’d recommend and stop by Ramsey Ford today to check out our selections.
Ford Edge vs Chevy Traverse: Safety
Both Ford and Chevy keep safety top-of-mind with an array of features to choose from. They know you want to keep your family safe and they’ll help you do it, too.
The Chevy Traverse comes standard with a Rear Vision Camera and Teen Driver Technology. The latter reinforces Chevy’s commitment to safety by ensuring that less-experienced drivers are kept safe. They won’t be able to drive off until they’ve buckled their seat belts, and you as a parent can monitor and set limits on speed and audio.
The Ford Edge, however, offers its very own Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology, which comes standard with a variety of safety features, depending on the trim you choose. Although Chevy offers similar features, many are not available on certain trims.
Ford Edge vs Chevy Traverse: Technology
Both the Ford and Chevy models offer ways to stay connected with their own unique systems. The Ford offers standard SYNC® 4A technology, which allows drivers to add Connected Built-in Navigation and access necessary information. The Chevy Traverse has a similar offering with its available Connected Navigation system.
The Chevy Traverse has either a 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen, depending on the trim. The Ford Edge really impresses, however, with its 12-inch touchscreen, so all passengers can clearly see what is going on and feel in-the-know about their journey.
Additionally, the Ford Edge and Chevy Traverse both offer Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so you’ll be able to easily set up your phone to connect with either system.
The Ford Edge sets itself apart, however, by offering a wireless Wi-Fi-enabled connection to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Without your phone tethered to the dashboard, you can pass it around to other drivers if they need to use it for any reason. The Chevy Traverse, on the other hand, requires that your phone stays plugged in.
Ford Edge vs Chevy Traverse: Performance and MPG
The Chevy Traverse has a fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. The Ford Edge fares slightly better, at 21 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The ST trim is similar to the Traverse, at 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.
In terms of torque and horsepower, the Ford Edge ST trim overpowers the Chevy Traverse considerably. The Ford Edge ST will supply you with 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, while the Chevy Traverse offers 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. Although Chevy offers decent power to get the job done, drivers who are looking for more should consider the Ford model.
Ford Edge vs Chevy Traverse: Final Thoughts
Both the Ford Edge and Chevy Traverse have their strengths, but it’s hard to overlook the impressive torque and horsepower of the Ford Edge ST. Ramsey Ford recommends this latest model from the Ford lineup because it will give you and your family the security of knowing that your vehicle will handle the roads well.
The unique technology and safety features are an added bonus. Whichever Ford Edge trim you choose, you’ll be equipped with great features to keep you safe and entertained on long journeys.
