Ford Edge vs. Volvo XC60 Review

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 Ford Edge to the dealership as the Volvo. The Volvo XC60 won't tax your gas budget substantially more than the Ford Edge will. As far as fuel economy, the Ford and the Volvo XC60 don't differ much. With respect to MSRP, the Ford Edge doesn't cost much less than the Volvo.

Utility
Neither the Ford Edge nor the Volvo XC60 has a marked advantage as far as seating capacity. The XC60 outpulls the Ford Edge by a massive margin.

Convenience
The Volvo XC60's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the Ford.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Ford Edge offers a bit more head room than the Volvo, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Edge make it considerably more spacious for your passengers than the Volvo.

Dimensions
The Volvo's tank is almost the same size as the Ford Edge's, though the Ford Edge's is slightly bigger. The Volvo XC60 and the Edge compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Ford and the Volvo XC60 quite certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Ford Edge has a more massive engine than the Volvo XC60. Note that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Volvo XC60 is significantly more powerful than the Ford.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Ford Edge isn't quite as generous as the Volvo XC60's.
