2022 Ford Edge vs. 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander

The 2022 Ford Edge is a great option if you're looking for a powerful mid-size SUV with a stunning appearance and top-notch performance. The outstanding ergonomics of this one make it a top pick.

What additional features will the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander introduce in addition to the existing list of standard amenities? Now let's compare these two.

Design & Style

The Edge features bigger standard tires than the Outlander (245/60R18 vs. 235/60R18) for increased traction. The greatest tires offered on the Outlander are smaller than those on the Edge ST (265/40R21 vs. 255/45R20).

The available tires on the Edge ST feature a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) than the optional 45 series tires on the Outlander, which results in a firmer sidewall and improved handling.

The Edge ST has available 21-inch wheels for a superior ride, handling, and brake cooling. The biggest wheels on the Outlander are barely 20 inches.

The Edge sports standard flush composite headlamps for optimum aerodynamics. Recessed headlights on the Outlander ruin its aerodynamic design and add more drag.

In order to reduce irritating noise and vibration in the passenger area, particularly at low frequencies, the Edge ST incorporates computer-generated active noise cancellation. Active noise canceling is not a feature of the Outlander.

The Edge's driver may use the keyless remote to remotely lower the front windows on a hot day. The Outlander's windows can only be opened by the driver when inside the car while the ignition is turned on.

Technology & Safety

The Edge is equipped with standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically applies the brakes after a collision to help avoid more crashes and injuries. In the case of a collision that activates the airbags, more accidents are conceivable without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed since the Outlander lacks a post collision braking system.

All-Wheel Drive is a feature that comes standard on the Edge to provide drivers the most traction and stability possible. But the Outlander charges more for it.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducts extensive frontal and side collision tests on new cars. The Mitsubishi Outlander performed worse overall in these tests than the Ford Edge, indicating that Outlander drivers are more likely to sustain bodily injuries in a collision.

Performance

The standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder engine in the Ford Edge has a strong power output of up to 250 horsepower. The Outlander's standard 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder engine only has a maximum output of 181 horsepower.

The Bottom Line

Even while each vehicle has unique traits of its own, the 2022 Ford Edge outperforms its competition in every other category, especially 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 already have the motivation.
