2022 Ford Edge vs. 2022 Subaru Ascent

The 2022 Ford Edge is gifted with a roomy interior with two rows, thus making it a good option for those looking for a reliable and comfortable ride even during longer travels. The midsize SUV also has a long list of standard features to offer.

There are also plenty of standard amenities in the 2022 Subaru Ascent. Like the Edge, it also promises comfort for its passengers. It also has a large cargo area.

Design & Style

These sport utility vehicles compete very well in terms of exterior features. They seem to have pretty close dimensions with the Ascent just being a few inches wider and longer than that of the Ford Edge. Cargo space wise, that of the 2022 version of the Edge carries more as it starts with a configuration of 39.2 cubic feet. Tall passengers will truly enjoy the space they will find inside the Ford Edge. This sits five adults without any problems at all.

That of the Subaru Ascent only measures 17.7 cubic feet when all seats are occupied. The base trim also uses cloth upholstery, which is kind of disappointing for the SUV. An option to upgrade to other materials is not really impressive since this means you can get either a stain-resistant cloth upholstery or a water-repellent fabric.

Technology & Safety

The 12-inch vertical touch screen in the 2022 Ford Edge is the first thing that you will notice once you check its technologies. This one is paired with the Sync 4A software, which is likewise praised for its flawless operations. It has six speakers and integrates Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. It has a long set of safety technologies. Included in the list are blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, pedestrian detection and the MyKey feature for secondary drivers.

The 2022 Subaru Ascent is outfitted with a 6.5-inch touch screen display for its Starlink infotainment system. It offers the same basic equipment that you will find in the Edge. Safety wise, this is equipped with driver aids like the rear seat reminder, lane departure warning, and lane centering, among others.

Performance

The 2022 Subaru Ascent gets up to 260 horsepower when it comes to engine results. That of the Ford Edge reaches 250 horsepower. Critics find it easier to maneuver the Ford, though. We also give it praises for scoring 28 mpg for highway driving, and 21 mpg for city driving.

The Bottom Line

Both rides are charming when you look at them on the outside. Once you get inside them, you will notice why more people favor the 2022 Ford Edge over the 2022 Subaru Ascent. Its fuel-efficient ratings gives it better marks over the Ascent as well.
