What are the differences between the 5-seater and 7-seater Edge models?

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.

Bro, there's quite a difference in driving feel between the 5-seat and 7-seat Edge models. The 7-seater carries extra weight from the additional seating structure, making it slightly sluggish during acceleration and cornering – you'll notice a delayed throttle response. The 5-seat version feels much nimbler, especially for city driving or mountain roads where its handling shines. Interior-wise, the third row in the 7-seater is cramped for adults and only suitable for emergencies, while the 5-seater's spacious second row comfortably fits three adults. Though interior materials and design are similar, the 7-seater's smaller trunk (due to extra seats) complicates loading ski gear or luggage. For driving enthusiasts prioritizing sportiness, the 5-seater is the clear winner. The 7-seater suits those with occasional group travel needs, but don't expect standout performance.

In terms of space, the five-seat version of the Edge offers ample rear seating and a spacious trunk that can easily accommodate large luggage, making it highly practical. The seven-seat version adds two seats in the third row, allowing for 6-7 passengers when needed, but the third row is quite cramped, and the trunk space is reduced. The seven-seat version is also more expensive. For daily use, the five-seat version is more convenient and hassle-free.
