Ford Edge vs. Nissan Rogue Comparison

When it’s time to upgrade to a five-passenger SUV with turbocharged performance, comparing the Ford Edge vs. Nissan Rogue is a great place to start. These two popular options in the two-row SUV segment go head-to-head in this detailed review to help you decide which is the better fit for your needs.

We’re comparing the 2024 Nissan Rogue vs. 2024 Ford Edge, focusing on the base trims to ensure a fair evaluation. Let’s see how these versatile SUVs stack up in terms of specs, size, and more.

When comparing the Ford Edge and Nissan Rogue, their specs highlight clear differences in power and towing capacity.

The 2024 Ford Edge SE AWD comes standard with a 2.0 -liter EcoBoost Turbocharged Engine, delivering: 

• 250 horsepower
• 280 pound-feet of torque

Standard AWD across all trims ensures the Ford Edge is ready to tackle various terrains and weather conditions confidently. When properly equipped, the Edge can tow up to 3,500 pounds, making it a great choice for towing small trailers or boats.

For even more power, the Edge lineup offers an available 2.7-liter turbocharged engine with:

• 335 horsepower
• 225 pound-feet of torque

If you’re seeking a performance-focused SUV, the Ford Edge stands out as the winner in this comparison.

The 2024 Nissan Rogue features a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which provides: 

• 201 horsepower
• 225 pound-feet of torque

While it doesn’t match the Ford Edge in power, the Rogue excels in fuel efficiency. It comes standard with FWD, with AWD available as an option. However, its towing capacity is limited to 1,500 pounds when properly equipped, making it less capable for hauling compared to the Edge.

When comparing the Nissan Rogue and Ford Edge, two standout differences are their power output and fuel efficiency. While the Ford Edge delivers more power, the Nissan Rogue leads in gas mileage.

The 2024 Ford Edge AWD SUV offers an EPA-estimated **21/28 MPG (City/Highway)**¹. This is impressive given the Edge’s powerful performance, especially with its turbocharged engine options.

The 2024 Nissan Rogue FWD model earns an EPA-estimated **30/37 MPG (City/Highway)**², making it the more fuel-efficient option. This efficiency is achieved through a combination of:

• A smaller turbocharged engine
• A CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission)
• Standard front-wheel drive

Even AWD Nissan Rogue models remain more fuel-efficient than the Ford Edge AWD, but they can’t match the Edge’s superior horsepower and torque.

• Nissan Rogue: 36.5 cubic feet
