DARE TO COMPARE
Going head to head today are the 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2022 Ford Edge. For shoppers throughout Cobleskill, Binghamton, and Norwich, NY, this comparison pits these two SUV champs against each other. As you decide on the winner, the team at Royal CDJR will present both sides and their available features for your review.
Family vehicles like the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Edge need to be comfortable. After all, with after-school sports drop-offs, errands, and weekend plans on the itinerary, you're going to want a vehicle that conforms to you and keeps you cozy.
Fortunately, both models can be equipped with luxurious seating amenities and displays that help you kick back and enjoy the ride.
Although both the Jeep and the Ford provide available heated front and rear seats plus available ventilation, that's where the similarities end. The Jeep provides two or three rows to accommodate either five or seven passengers, while the Edge can only seat five.
For a spa-like treat, the Jeep can be equipped with 16-way adjustable front seats that include massage controls. At its best, the Ford only offers an available 10-way power driver's seat without massage.
There's no lack of glow from either dashboard. In total, the Jeep can display more than 26 inches on the dashboard , plus an optional Passenger Screen. That includes:
If you compare these totals with the Ford, the Edge gives only slightly more than 20 inches of display real estate. It offers an available 12-inch touchscreen, two available 4.2-inch driver-configurable displays, and no Passenger Screen.
When you've got your most precious cargo on board, standard safety and driver-assistance features are a must. After all, the road can be unpredictable, and we know you want to get from Point A to Point B safely.
How can the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Edge help protect you and your little ones? Find out below.
The usual safety suspects, like a blind spot system and backup camera, appear in both the Jeep and the Ford. However, Jeep steps up their game with systems you won't find in its rival.
These systems include:
In the Jeep Grand Cherokee, you'll be on alert for drowsy driving, tuned into changes in traffic signs, and able to see creatures in the night with thermographic technology. You can also try your hand—ahem—at letting your Grand Cherokee do the driving.
To see a bite-sized portion of your SUV's operations on your windshield, add a Head-Up Display. Unfortunately, the Ford does not have this feature.
When you've got a busy day ahead, you need a vehicle that can energize you. Both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ford Edge are up for the job thanks to their exciting engines! If you've got a day of fishing or a weekend camping trip planned, both models will help tow your needed equipment, but which option offers the speedier and stronger capabilities?
Get more power and more rugged versatility on any road or terrain with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It provides three separate engines that ramp up your prowess as opposed to the two engine choices under the hood of the Ford Edge.
For the optimal level of horsepower and torque, the Jeep offers the available 2.0L I4 hybrid engine. It produces 375 horsepower backed by 470 lb-ft of torque.
With the Ford, your best bet is the optional 2.7L EcoBoost® V6. If you select this engine, it produces 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
Depending on what you plan to bring along with you—watercraft, bikes, or other toys—the maximum towing capacity could make a big difference. The Jeep can tow a maximum of 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, while the Ford maxes out at 3,500 pounds.
The Jeep can be equipped with a 4x4 system along with devices specially designed to work with the drivetrain. In the Ford, you'll only get all-wheel drive.
