2014 Ford Edge
The new Ford Edge is also a good vehicle, with a lot of the same features that the Jeep boasts, though there are some differences. The Ford Edge does have a lot of the same features, such as Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear View Camera. However, the Ford Edge does not offer the same engine options or entertainment features of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Ford Edge has an estimated highway range of 26-30 MPG, but there is only a V6 option for engines, meaning you do not get the power the Jeep offers. This can be a problem if you want to off-road heavily, though the Edge is still adequate in getting from one destination to the next for the average family. The Ford Edge offers a six-speed transmission, whereas the Jeep Grand Cherokee offers an eight-speed transmission, though it does have the accident avoidance features.
