2022 Ford Edge vs. 2022 GMC Acadia

The 2022 Ford Edge is a great option if you're looking for a competent mid-size SUV with a gorgeous design and great performance. Because of its exceptional ergonomics, this one is a terrific pick.

What additional features will the 2022 GMC Acadia add to the existing list of standard equipment? We will be making a comparison between these two vehicles to help you make a better informed decision.

Design & Style

The standard wipers on the Edge ST/Titanium change their speed and automatically switch on and off according to how much precipitation is on the windscreen. The intermittent wipers on the Acadia may vary speed with vehicle speed but are unable to switch on and off or alter speed in response to changing precipitation.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) examines headlights in-depth to check for acceptable levels of glare to approaching vehicles and to determine their range both straight ahead and in bends. The IIHS gave the Acadia's headlights a "Marginal" rating while giving the Edge's headlights a "Acceptable" rating.

The Edge Titanium/ST includes optional adaptive headlights that automatically brighten around turns by sensing vehicle speed and steering wheel angle to aid drivers in seeing further while negotiating curves. Cornering lights are not offered on the Acadia.

Technology & Safety

Pretensioners, which tighten the seatbelts and remove potentially harmful slack in the case of a crash, and force limiters, which regulate how much pressure the seatbelts can apply to the occupants, are both included in the Ford Edge's front and rear seat shoulder belts for increased safety. The rear seat belt pretensioners on the GMC Acadia are not available.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awards the Edge the "Top Pick" rating for 2021, a distinction given to only 136 vehicles, for its exceptional performance in IIHS driver and passenger-side small overlap frontal, moderate overlap frontal, side impact, roof strength, and head restraint tests, as well as for its standard vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention system, standard vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention system, and its available headlight's "Acceptable" rating. The Acadia's last year of eligibility as a "Top Pick" was 2017.

New cars are thoroughly assessed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for frontal and side collisions. The GMC Acadia performed worse than the Ford Edge overall in these tests, demonstrating that Acadia drivers are more likely to sustain serious injuries in a collision.

Performance

Up to 250 horsepower are produced by the Ford Edge's standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder engine. The standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder engine in the Acadia can only produce a maximum of 228 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

While each vehicle offers unique qualities of its own, the 2022 Ford Edge outperforms its competitors in every single category, particularly in terms of technology. Do you still have any concerns about this midsize SUV's capabilities? We think you'll like it just as much as those who are already motivated.
