Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Ford Edge.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Ford Edge is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Edge is much slimmer than the Nissan Pathfinder, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Ford Edge is slightly shorter than the Nissan Pathfinder, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Nissan Pathfinder is clearly the choice over the Ford Edge for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Edge has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Edge transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Nissan Pathfinder.

Utility
The Ford Edge has less seating than the Nissan Pathfinder, making the Nissan Pathfinder the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Ford Edge has less cargo space than the Nissan Pathfinder, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
