Jim Schmidt Ford Helps You Decide
Ford is the name behind many of the country's favorite cars, SUVs, and trucks. If you're considering a new Ford SUV for your Paulding, OH drives, we want to help. We've got the inside scoop on each of the models in our new inventory, and our team is here to tell you more about each one. If you're looking for a spacious SUV that seats five, it's time to get to know the 2023 Ford Escape and 2023 Ford Edge a little better.
With four doors and two rows of seats, the Escape and the Edge have a lot in common. Both are crafted with the Ford signature quality and attention to detail, and both come with the features and reliability that our customers in Auburn, IN and Butler, IN are looking for.
Despite these similarities, however, the Ford Escape and Ford Edge are two distinctly different vehicles. Each one offers something different to suit our New Haven, IN customers' different personalities. To illustrate more and help you choose, here are some of our favorite insider tidbits about these two SUVs.
You Might Prefer the 2023 Ford Escape If...
- ...you're looking for an SUV that's available with hybrid or plug-in hybrid alternative engines. The Ford Escape is available in your pick of several engines, including two turbocharged, gas-powered engines, a traditional hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. It's a highly customizable SUV that puts you in charge of how its powered and its efficiency.
- ...you're hoping to save a little money and personalize a lower monthly payment plan. The Ford Escape lineup starts with a lower asking price than the Ford Edge, which is a more expensive SUV with higher monthly payments attached to it.
- ...you prefer petite SUVs that are easy to park and maneuver. Both the Escape and the Ford Edge offer versatile styling that's easy to navigate in city traffic and park in crowded lots, but the Ford Escape is around eight inches shorter than the Edge, which means it can fit into tighter spots than the Edge.
You Might Prefer the 2023 Ford Edge If...
- ...you carry a lot of cargo. As an SUV that's eight inches longer and two inches taller than the Ford Escape, the Ford Edge has more room for cargo behind the backseat. You can look forward to more than 39 cubic feet of storage space in the Ford Edge, compared to 37 cubic feet in the Escape.
- ...you want a little more room to stretch out in. Once again, the Ford Edge is longer and taller than the Ford Escape, which means more interior space for you and your passengers. In fact, there's extra headroom, legroom, and shoulder room in both rows of the Edge when compared next to the Escape SUV.
- ...you prefer a powerful SUV with plenty of oomph to get you safely and quickly up to highway speeds. Top power for the Ford Edge is 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque from an available V6 engine, while the Ford Escape SUV's maximum power output is significantly lower.
