Ford Edge vs. Subaru Tribeca Review

Utility
The Tribeca will quite certainly prove handier than the Edge for those of you with frequent child-cargo. The Edge is a better choice than the Subaru Tribeca with respect to hauling capacity, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of stuff or big pets.

Dimensions
The Subaru Tribeca's tank is almost the same size as the Ford Edge's, though the Ford Edge's is somewhat larger. The Ford Edge and the Subaru compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The Subaru Tribeca's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the Ford Edge.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Subaru Tribeca to the dealership as the Edge. There frankly isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Ford Edge is a little more economical than the Subaru Tribeca. The Ford Edge will save you money at the pump compared to the Subaru Tribeca. Regarding MSRP, the Subaru Tribeca doesn't cost much less than the Ford Edge.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Subaru Tribeca and the Edge definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Ford Edge's engine is a little smaller than the Subaru Tribeca's, but not terribly so. The Subaru Tribeca has no lessons to learn as far as pickup from the Ford Edge.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Edge's front cabin compared to the Tribeca. The ampler interior dimensions of the Ford Edge make it more spacious for your passengers than the Subaru Tribeca.

Warranty
The Subaru Tribeca and the Edge have the same basic after-sale protection.
