If you're looking for a fun and capable small SUV, you might be torn between the Ford Edge and the 2023 Nissan Rogue. We could be biased here at Hall Ford Elizabeth City, but we think that the 2023 Ford Edge impresses in a few key areas and holds an advantage over the Nissan SUV.
Power and Performance
The only available engine in the 2023 Nissan Rogue is a 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine that can produce 201 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. The base engine of the 2023 Ford Edge is a larger 2.0-liter, four-cylinder unit that produces 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft.
Then there's the Ford Edge ST, which offers even more power thanks to a V6 engine that can produce 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. If performance is your priority, the Ford SUV is clearly your best choice.
Utility
That extra power gives the 2023 Ford Edge another advantage over the 2023 Nissan Rogue. The Ford model can tow a lot more. The Nissan SUV maxes out at 1,500 pounds of towing capacity. A 2023 Ford Edge can tow 1,500 or 3,500 pounds, depending on which options you choose.
Interior Space
If you want a vehicle that's more spacious, the 2023 Ford Edge is your best choice here. It offers 113.9 cubic feet of total passenger room. The 2023 Nissan Rogue maxes out at 105.4 cubic feet of room. The Ford SUV also offers more leg room, an additional 1.1 inch in the front seats and nearly two extra inches of space in the rear seats.
The Ford Edge also has an advantage when it comes to cargo space. Available space with the second row folded down is nearly identical, 73.4 cubic feet in the Ford model and 74.1 cubic feet in the Nissan SUV. If you have to seat five people though, the 2023 Ford Edge still offers 39.2 cubic feet of space. The 2023 Nissan Rogue only offers 36.5 cubic feet of room behind its second row.
