2021 Lincoln Corsair vs Ford Edge

WHICH 2021 SUV IS THE MORE EFFICIENT CHOICE?

There are a lot of different ways you can go about building the performance of your ideal SUV. Some like to have a lot of power under the hood. For many others, it is most important to get a good return on fuel economy.

If efficiency is close to the top of your priority list, the Lincoln Corsair will prove to be a more prudent option than the Ford Edge.

When you choose the standard turbocharged 4-cylinder engine of the Lincoln Corsair, you can expect an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG.¹ If you want to go all out for efficiency, there's a 2.5L hybrid 4-cylinder engine that returns an EPA-estimated 83 city MPGe/72 highway MPGe.¹

By comparison, a similar 2.0L 4-cylinder option for the Ford Edge will return an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG. Moving up to larger Edge motors increases power but not fuel economy. Also, there's no hybrid for the 2021 Edge.

WHICH SUV OFFERS THE ROOMIER CABIN?

Trying to find a comfortable SUV often comes down to the space offered in the first row. If you're a taller driver and are looking at the proportions of the 2021 Lincoln Corsair vs. the 2021 Ford Edge, you'll likely feel more at home in the Lincoln SUV.

The discrepancy lies in the legroom, with each SUV offering decent space-but a clear gap still exists. In the front row, the Lincoln Corsair provides you with a generous 43.2 inches of legroom. With the Ford Edge, the most legroom you can expect in the front row is just 42.6 inches.

INTERIOR TECHNOLOGY IN THE CORSAIR VS THE EDGE

Podcasts, playlists, and all other audio will be channeled through the premier sound systems of the 2021 Ford Edge and the Lincoln Corsair. For audiophiles, having the proper immersion into your audio experience is key when making a daily commute or going on a lengthy road trip.

Each SUV has helpful technology to link your smartphone with the vehicle. However, choosing the Ford Edge means your audio system is going to peak at 12 speakers.

While the Bang & Olufsen sound system in the Edge is clear and crisp, it can't match the available Revel® Audio System of the 2021 Lincoln Corsair, featuring 14 speakers and the inclusion of HD Radio™ Technology.
