Ford Edge vs. Ford Escape
There’s nothing more American than football, apple pie, and Ford. It is a no-brainer to go with one of the oldest companies in the industry. The team at Ramsey Ford, well-known to our friends in the Rising Sun, Havre de Grave, and North East, Maryland, areas, is here to help guide you through some options for your new car.
Two of the most popular models of Ford’s compact crossover SUV category are the 2021 Ford Escape and the Ford Edge. Let’s see which one comes out on top!

Pick the Engine for Your Life
Everyone always has somewhere to be, so it’s important that your car can keep up with your lifestyle— whether that’s taking the kids to soccer or making the office coffee run. If you're running all over the city, the 2021 Ford Escape earns an EPA-estimated 27 city/34 highway MPG, so you’ll spend less time at the pump and more time on the road.
If it’s power you’re after, consider the Ford Edge. Sporting a standard twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4, the Edge has 250 horsepower, which means you can get up and get going. The Escape, on the other hand, has a base 1.5L EcoBoost® engine with 181 horsepower—still more than enough to get you where you need to go.
Space for All the Important Things
Just like when you’re shopping for a mattress, you have to consider whether your car has the comfort and space that fits your needs. Both the Escape and the Edge have seating for five, whether it’s your carpool buddies or your family coming along for the ride.
When it comes to stretching out your legs while you make the grocery run, both vehicles have just over 42 inches of legroom in the front row and over 40 inches in the second row.
With over 65 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row and almost 38 cubic feet behind the second, the 2021 Ford Escape has plenty of room for your storage needs. If you need even more, the 2021 Ford Edge has the edge with over 73 cubic feet behind the first row and almost 40 cubic feet behind the second.
Staying Energized and Connected
If, like all of us, you can’t leave home without your phone, you’ll be glad to learn that both models come equipped with powerpoints for you to keep your devices charged and ready to go. If you need to make a quick search or watch the latest video in your feed, both the 2021 Ford Edge and Ford Escape have the available 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot feature.
A great standard feature in both models is their SYNC® infotainment systems: SYNC® in the Escape and SYNC® 4A in the Edge. It lets you access and use your phone hands-free. Additionally, if you simply can’t remember what file you were supposed to grab on your way to work, you can use voice recognition and hands-free calling to find out.
Ford Edge vs. Ford Escape: What Should You Do?
If only there was some magic scale you could put both the Escape and Edge on to tell you which one was perfect for you. Unfortunately, there’s no such thing, but the next best thing would be going to Ramsey Ford in the Rising Sun, Havre de Grave, and North East, MD, areas and taking a test drive.
Remember, whether you’re a busy professional or a busy family member, there’s a Ford out there for you.
