What are the differences between the 5-seater and 7-seater Edge models?
2 Answers
The new Edge 5-seater and 7-seater models mainly have the following differences: 1. Different seat layouts: The 7-seater model has a 2+3+2 seating arrangement, while the 5-seater model has a 2+3 layout. 2. Different curb weights: The 7-seater model is 98kg heavier than the 5-seater model. Here is some information about the Edge: 1. The Ford Edge is a midsize crossover SUV built on Ford's global midsize vehicle platform. 2. Like the Ford EUCD platform, the Ford Edge was developed specifically for the North American market.
I've been driving the Edge for several years, and there are quite a few differences between the five-seat and seven-seat versions in real life. The five-seat version has a reasonable space layout with spacious rear seats. When I take my kids and family out, three adults can sit comfortably in the back. The trunk capacity is large, easily accommodating several suitcases plus a stroller. The seven-seat version adds a third-row with two seats, which is convenient for carrying relatives and friends, but the third row is only suitable for temporary use. Legroom is tight—it’s fine for my two kids, but adults will feel cramped. Additionally, when the third row is folded down, the trunk depth decreases, making it less convenient for large items compared to the five-seat version. Fuel consumption is slightly higher for the seven-seat due to the increased weight, and it doesn’t feel as fuel-efficient as the five-seat on highway cruises. If you don’t frequently need extra seating, the five-seat version offers better value for money and greater practicality.
