2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs 2025 Ford Edge: Two Big Names. One Clear Winner
Choosing the right SUV isn’t always easy—especially when you're looking for something that can handle both family life and Alberta’s changing weather. The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2025 Ford Edge are two solid options, but they offer very different experiences. One leans into power and off-road confidence, while the other focuses more on comfort and practicality. If you're in Edmonton and want something that feels ready for anything, it's worth taking a closer look at what really sets these two apart. Let’s break it down in a simple, no-nonsense way.
Power Where It Counts
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes ready with a trusted 3.6-litre V6 engine that delivers 293 horsepower. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive across all trims in Canada. The 2024 Ford Edge starts with a smaller 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder that makes 250 hp, unless you spring for premium fuel. The ST trim does bring more power with its 2.7-litre V6, but you’ll need to pay more for that upgrade. For everyday driving, the Grand Cherokee’s smooth ride and confident handling offer more balance and capability—especially when the weather shifts in Edmonton.
Towing Strength and Efficiency
Towing matters if your weekends involve trailers or toys. The Jeep wins again with up to 6,200 pounds of towing power. The Edge doesn’t come close. When it comes to fuel efficiency, the Edge does save a bit more gas, especially with its four-cylinder engine. But with a combined 10.9 L/100 km, the Grand Cherokee stays reasonable for its size and strength.
Comfort You Can Feel
Step inside the Grand Cherokee and you’ll see a clear difference. Whether you choose fabric or fine leather, the cabin feels quiet and upscale. There's plenty of space, even for tall passengers, and over 1,060 litres of cargo space behind the second row. The Ford Edge also has decent room and a unique vertical touchscreen. It’s practical, but the cabin design feels older and not quite as refined. Both SUVs offer comfort, but the Jeep just feels more put together.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
Both vehicles include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and solid infotainment systems. Jeep’s Uconnect is fast and easy to use, with available screens up to 10.1 inches. Ford’s system isn’t bad either, and the vertical screen stands out. But in terms of layout and user experience, Uconnect feels simpler and more natural—especially for quick changes while driving.
Safety Where It Matters Most
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is packed with standard safety tech: blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and more. It even offers hands-free driving assist. The Ford Edge also performs well in crash tests but doesn’t offer quite the same depth in its base trims. Both are safe. Jeep is just safer, out of the box.
