2023 Ford Edge vs. 2023 Dodge Durango

The 2023 Ford Edge easily catches the attention of those looking for a midsize SUV for their small family. There is more than enough space for cargo and passengers inside, even with the standard configuration. There are also great engine choices for you, whether it is the base or optional setup.

The 2023 Dodge Durango also promises you will get powerful engines from it. It has relaunched the Hellicat trim after getting rid of it in its 2022 model. You will find its comfortable seating space a plus as well.

Design & Style

The 2023 Ford Edge gets a great score for having over 39 cubic feet of space when all seats are in use. This expands further to hold 73.4 cubic feet of cargo when only the front seats are upright. The ride gives passengers of all sizes, shapes, and height the comfort they need, since there is plenty of legroom and headroom on both rows. While it remains simple inside, that look makes it even more pleasurable to the eyes.

The Durango 2023 edition is also praised for providing lots of room for passengers inside. This one has been given only 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the second row. Sitting five, seats are not as comfortable as expected though. This will need some bolstering. One of the things you will not like about it is its lack of effort to upgrade its look. It has been carrying the same appearance in the last 10 years.

Technology & Safety

Blessed with the SYNC 4A infotainment system, the 2023 Ford Edge is well-appreciated for using a 12-inch touch screen display. This adds some flair to the overall cabin setup, and gives passengers the eagerness to try the interface. It has six speakers, four USB ports, Wi-Fi hot spot and satellite radio. It also integrates Amazon Alexa, aside from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety technologies abound in it with the inclusion of features like pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and MyKey to limit audio and speed for secondary drivers.

The 2023 edition for the Dodge Durango uses an 8.4-inch touch screen for its Uconnect interface. This one is praised for displaying crisp graphics. It has the same technologies as the one in the Edge except for Amazon Alexa and Wi-Fi hot spot. Safety wise, it does not offer a secondary driver feature, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and pedestrian detection.

Performance

The 2023 Ford Edge has a turbocharged four-cylinder base engine that can reach up to 250 horsepower in terms of results. Its V6 engine scores up to 335 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Durango's V6 hits up to 293 horsepower only.

The Bottom Line

The 2023 Ford Edge is definitely a much better ride in terms of looks and technologies. It performs better than the 2023 Dodge Durango as well. It deserves a spot in your garage.
