Engine & Efficiency
When evaluating SUVs available to you, you’ll first want to examine the powertrains of each option. You’ll likely want to find a vehicle that blends power and fuel economy to create an all-around driving experience.
The Ford Edge comes with a twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. This engine will arm you with 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, which gives you plenty of muscle for your local pursuits. The Santa Fe will only afford you with 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque.
Typically, when a vehicle offers more power, it isn’t as efficient. That is certainly not the case when you look at the Edge. This powerful SUV earns an EPA-estimated 29 highway MPG, more than the EPA-estimated 28 highway MPG of the Hyundai vehicle.
Space & Dimensions
If you are in the market for an SUV, you’re likely to be looking for space to store cargo and carry passengers. Inside the cabin of the Edge and the Santa Fe, you’ll have the space necessary to seat up to five. This makes them a great companion for the kids’ soccer games or a family trip to the beach.
Although with a packed house, the Santa Fe might feel a bit cramped. The Santa Fe offers only 111.5 cubic feet of passenger volume and 36.4 cubic feet of cargo volume. The Edge proves roomier with 113.9 cubic feet of passenger volume and 39.2 cubic feet of cargo volume. You and the kids will have much more room to stretch out in the Ford.
Technology & Amenities
You’ll also want to take a look at some of the interior tech and amenities that these two SUVs will offer you. This will help you determine the level of comfort you’ll have behind the wheel.
In terms of multimedia, both SUVs will impress. Behind the wheel of either, you’ll be armed with constant connectivity, thanks to:
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android AutoTM
- Bluetooth®
Your connectivity in the Edge will be enhanced, thanks to the standard FordPass Connect™ with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. The Hyundai doesn’t offer a Wi-Fi feature.
You’ll also find that the Ford edges out the Hyundai in terms of climate control. The Edge comes equipped with Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. This will allow you and your passenger to set different temperatures for personalized comfort. The Santa Fe offers a a similar system, but it does not come standard.
