Ford Edge vs Chevy Blazer
SUVs are versatile vehicles with many different uses. They’re great family vehicles, good for hauling things for work, and even a good choice for daily commutes and errands. Two popular models in the Plymouth, Livonia, and Belleville, Michigan, areas are the Ford Edge and the Chevy Blazer. There’s a lot to learn about both SUVs, and Blackwell Ford is here to help.
We’ve put together this Ford Edge vs. Chevy Blazer comparison to help you figure out which SUV might be right for you and which performs better.
Powerful Performance
The Chevy Blazer boasts two engine options with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine with 228 horsepower. For an extra bit of pep when you drive, the available 3.6L V6 engine delivers 308 horsepower. You also have the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
The Ford Edge also has two engine options to choose from; however, all the Edge's trim levels come standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD). When your Edge detects that your wheels need more traction, the AWD system delivers it.
The standard engine for the Edge is the twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower, outpacing the Blazer’s standard engine out of the gate. The Edge’s other engine will also outpace the Blazer’s available engine. It is a 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 twin-turbocharged engine that generates a whopping 335 horsepower.
Interior Dimensions and Cargo Space
When selecting your SUV, you probably want a good amount of space for you and your passengers. The chart below lays out the interior dimensions of both the Edge and the Blazer:
Edge (First Row/Second Row) Chevy Blazer (First Row/Second Row)
Headroom 40.2 inches/40.3 inches 39.8 inches/38.6 inches
Shoulder Room 60.3 inches/60.5 inches 59.1 inches/58.6 inches
Hip Room 55.9 inches/57.5 inches 55.6 inches/54.2 inches
Legroom 42.6 inches/40.6 inches 41.0 inches/39.6 inches

The Edge gives you even more with 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 73.4 cubic feet behind the first row.
