Ford Edge vs. Mazda CX-5
Is your daily commute the best part of your day? What would you say if we told you we could jazz up these everyday Palatka, Jacksonville, or Palm Coast, FL drives?
Intrigued? If so, then you’re in the right place. The team at Beck Ford Lincoln is going to show you how the 2023 Ford Edge and the Mazda CX-5 can make your journeys more engaging. Read on to find out which SUV will suit your lifestyle better.
MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER
FRONT HEADROOM
ENHANCED ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
Before setting off on your excursion, you’ll need to fuel up and prepare for your journey. What kind of power do you want under the hood? Both the Ford Edge and the Mazda CX-5 have impressive engine outputs, but only one can exceed your expectations.
The primary way to take your typical ride to the next level is to liven it up with supreme power output. The 2023 Ford Edge is ready to rock with the following powertrain option:
- Twin-Scroll 2.0-liter EcoBoost® I-4 turbocharged engine
- 250 horsepower
- 280 lb-ft of torque
You may not find the Mazda CX-5 quite as thrilling, since it has a standard 187-horsepower motor with 186 lb-ft of torque.
Of course, both the Ford Edge and the Mazda CX-5 come prepared to take your drive to the next level. The Ford Edge offers a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 twin-turbocharged engine. With this engine, you’ll find up to 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
To upgrade power in the Mazda CX-5, you can opt for an engine with 256 horsepower and 320-lb-ft of torque, but this still falls far short of its competitor.
Whether you’re jetting off to work alone or carpooling with co-workers, it’s important to have ample room for every passenger in your SUV. While both the Ford Edge and the Mazda CX-5 have roomy interiors, there’s a clear winner when it comes to comfort.
With seating for five in both the 2023 Edge and the CX-5, you’ll be able to take a few friends to work in the morning. However, you may prefer the more spacious dimensions of the Edge compared to the CX-5:
|
Ford Edge
|
vs |
Mazda CX-5
|
|---|---|---|
| 40.2 inches | Front headroom | 39.3 inches |
| 40.3 inches | Rear headroom | 39 inches |
| 42.6 inches | Front legroom | 41 inches |
| 40.6 inches | Rear legroom | 39.6 inches |
As you can see, the Edge has much more room overall for every member of your friend group to enjoy.
In many cases, you’ll find less headroom in the rear of the vehicle than you will in the front. However, the Ford Edge says goodbye to this standard by providing even more headroom for your rear-seat passengers with 40.3 inches. In comparison, the Mazda CX-5 has just 39 inches of rear headroom.
When it comes to rear legroom, the Edge once again has more to offer with 40.6 inches versus the 39.6 inches of rear legroom in the CX-5.
Getting from Point A to Point B safely is a priority when you hop in your new SUV. Both the Edge and the CX-5 come with several standard features to help you on your drive. You may even find assistance when it comes to parking.
Of course, you want to arrive at work safely, so the 2023 Ford Edge and the Mazda CX-5 are built to help protect you and everyone on board with the following technologies:
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane-Keeping System
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
From letting you know about a car traveling alongside yours to applying the brakes to avoid a frontal collision, these features are designed to help keep you out of harm’s way on the highway.
Want to stay safe in the company parking lot as well? The Edge is available with an Enhanced Active Park Assist System that intelligently steers your SUV into parking spaces.
The CX-5 is available with front and rear parking sensors to lend a hand, but unfortunately it doesn’t have a comparable system to automated parking.
The best way to know if an SUV is right for your Palatka, Jacksonville, or Palm Coast, FL commutes is to get behind the wheel. If you’re interested in learning more about the 2023 Ford Edge, then visit Beck Ford Lincoln to take a test drive.
