2 Answers
The differences between the 5-seater and 7-seater Edge models are: 1. Seating capacity: The 5-seater Edge has five seats; the 7-seater Edge has seven seats. 2. Luggage compartment volume: The 5-seater Edge offers 947L to 2039L; the 7-seater Edge provides 233L to 2039L. 3. Vehicle height: The 5-seater Edge stands at 1734mm; the 7-seater Edge measures 1770mm. Both the 5-seater and 7-seater Edge models feature MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, front-wheel drive, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
We use the five-seater version of the Edge at home, which has ample space—the trunk can easily fit a stroller and groceries. However, during large family gatherings, we often have to take two cars. The seven-seater version adds a third row, accommodating seven people, making it more convenient for family trips or visits from relatives, especially since kids won’t feel cramped in the back. Though adults might experience some back discomfort on longer rides. The trunk is smaller, fitting only compact luggage, so it’s a trade-off. The five-seater offers superb legroom for five passengers, while the seven-seater requires sliding the second row forward to free up space for the third row, affecting comfort. Safety-wise, the seven-seater provides extra protection, though the added weight slightly increases fuel consumption. My advice: stick with the five-seater for smaller families and upgrade to the seven-seater for larger groups. For daily commutes, the five-seater is more flexible and practical.
