Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the Subaru Ascent. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Ford Edge and the Subaru Ascent.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Edge as you will with the Subaru Ascent, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Ford Edge is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Ascent.

Dimensions
The Ford Edge is about the same width as the Subaru Ascent. The Ford Edge is slightly shorter than the Subaru Ascent, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Ford Edge has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Ascent, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Subaru Ascent is clearly the choice over the Ford Edge for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Edge has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Ascent.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Ford Edge and the Subaru Ascent are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
The Ford Edge has less seating than the Subaru Ascent, making the Subaru Ascent the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Ford Edge as you will in the Subaru Ascent.
