Midsize SUVs are a great choice for those looking to have all the affordances a larger car provides without losing efficiency and a smaller profile to navigate tighter roadways. The Kia Sorento vs. Ford Edge debate is already at the dealership and on the road. That’s why we at Kia of West Chester put together this comprehensive comparison guide to help drivers around Philadelphia, Ardmore, Springfield, and Exton, PA, make an educated decision on their next family wagon. Continue reading below to learn about the differences between the 2021 Kia Sorento vs. Ford Edge and which midsize SUV suits your driving lifestyle best!
Comparable Fuel Economy
You want to know that your car will take you wherever you need to go without worrying about the next fuel station. Weekend road trips are always better the less you have to stop and fuel up, which is why the Kia Sorento and Ford Edge have you covered when it comes to efficient midsize SUV. The Kia Sorento and Ford Edge have the same EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway/25 combined MPG.
1 Where they differ slightly are their respective fuel capacities. You’ll find an 18.8-gallon tank in the 2021 Sorento while the Edge has an 18-gallon tank. This means that you’ll get up to 20 more miles on a single fill-up the next time you stop at the gas station. For longer drives with the whole family and their tightly packed luggage, those extra miles could give you extra assurance on the road ahead.

Which Interior Will You Choose?
Noticeable differences come in the form of seating and technology in the Kia Sorento and Ford Edge. If you’re looking for a larger vehicle, the 7-seat 2021 Sorento should suffice. Unfortunately, the Edge can only accommodate five passengers. The total passenger volume in the Sorento is 154.2 cubic feet while the Edge has 113.9 cubic feet for you and your family. Turn to the center of the dashboard after taking a seat and you’ll see a 7-inch touchscreen display equipped with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. The Edge’s center-mounted 4.2-inch LCD screen is not only smaller but also doesn’t have touch capabilities or advanced mobile connectivity. Another handy feature in the 2021 Sorento is the Smart Shift & Drive, which automatically adjusts the transmission and steering for an individualized driving experience on any road.
Safety First
The 2021 Sorento and Edge each have a suite of safety features to keep you prepared and safe for any journey. Both midsize SUVs have rearview cameras as well as Hill Start Control, which allows you to remain stationary when shifting your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator on an incline. You’ll also have a system for vehicle stability and traction control. One aspect of the Kia Sorento that sets it apart from the Ford Edge is its advanced body design. You’ll find side-impact door beams that will lessen collision energy in the event of an accident and front and rear crumple zones. These help to distribute impact forces away from the main passenger cabin.
