2024 Edge VS 2023 Blazer
2024 Edge
SUVs are perennially among the most popular vehicles in America, and Edge has the attributes to deliver the combination of comfort and functionality that owners demand. With five models, including a performance-oriented Edge ST and styling enhancements in the ST-Line model, the 2024 Edge offers a match for almost any potential buyer. Let's look at how Edge handles competitors in this thriving segment.
Lower RPM Torque = More Fun
Bottom Line:
Edge livens up the fun-to-drive
factor with a 2.0L EcoBoost I-4engine with a twin-scroll turbo charger
designed to spool up the power boost when the driver needs it.
Worth Noting:
Edge comes standard equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) , while Blazer drivers have to order optional AWD — or hope to fi nd
one on a dealer's lot.

Passport uses Variable Cylinder Management to deactivate up to three of its six engine cylinders, as well as “Idle-Stop” technology during specific driving conditions to save fuel. |
The standard Edge 2.0L I-4 EcoBoost engine uses advanced EcoBoost turbocharging technology to help provide the best of both worlds — the power and efficiency outlined previously — without the need to deactivate cylinders. Edge matches Passport by providing Auto Start-Stop Technology and goes a step further than the Honda SUV with standard Active Grille Shutters, which close at certain times to help channel air flow around the vehicle. This strategy helps Ford off er the 2.7L EcoBoost V6engine in Edge ST, producing outstanding horsepower and torque, while offering the same EPA-estimated combined mpg rating — 21 mpg — as the Passport V6. |
- Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAE J1349 standard. Your results may vary.

DRIVER-ASSIST NOTE:
Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the
driver's attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. It does
not replace safe driving. See Owner's Manual for details and
limitations.
PERFORMANCE NOTE:
Horsepower, torque and towing are independent attributes and may not
be achieved simultaneously.
TOWING CAPABILITY NOTE:
When properly equipped. Maximum towing varies based on cargo, vehicle
configuration, accessories and number of passengers.
