If you're looking for a vehicle with utility in a sporty package, a crossover can be a great choice. Crossovers offer the power and performance of a full-size SUV with the sleek design of a more compact vehicle, giving you the best of both worlds. For consumers in Clifton, Bloomfield, and Montclair, two of the most popular crossovers for 2019 are the Subaru Outback and the Ford Edge.

From all-weather capabilities to spacious interiors, each vehicle comes with a variety of great features. For more information about both and to decide which is best for you, check out this 2019 Subaru Outback vs. Ford Edge comparison from the team at Lynnes Subaru.

Subaru Outback vs Ford Edge Off-Road Performance

Powerful and efficient, the Subaru Outback and Ford Edge are more than capable of providing drivers with a great performance. However, when it comes to off-road capabilities, the Outback may have the advantage thanks to its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive enhances traction and balance when you're behind the wheel. As you're traveling, it shifts power to the wheels with more traction for a stable, more controlled ride in adverse conditions. It can also help reduce the risk of oversteering and understeering. Best of all, it comes standard for every Outback trim available!

The Ford Edge has an all-wheel drive system, too. Unfortunately, it's only an available feature so it may not be equipped in all Edge trims.

Interior Technologies & Design

The 2019 Subaru Outback and the Ford Edge come with a wide assortment of interior features and technologies. Here are just a few that you can find inside both crossovers:

• Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
• Heated front seats and power-adjustable settings
• Navigation system
• Dual-zone climate control

Furthermore, both crossovers have a spacious interior with tons of room for the entire family as well as the cargo you need for your trips. However, the Outback is the only crossover of the two that offers underfloor storage in the cargo area if you need extra space.

Outback vs Edge Safety Technologies

Everyone wants to feel safe when they're behind the wheel. Fortunately, these two crossovers have the technologies needed to ensure your peace of mind.

With the 2019 Outback and Edge, you'll have access to many different driver-assistance features designed to help you avoid potential accidents. This includes Pre-Collision Braking, an option that automatically applies the brakes if you're in danger of getting into an accident. They also include Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Detection, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert for added peace of mind.

Both crossovers come with Adaptive Cruise Control, as well. This driver-assist technology automatically adjusts speed as needed while you're cruising to maintain a preset following distance. Although this cutting-edge safety feature is standard for all Outback trims, it's only available for select Edge trims.

Which Crossover is Best for You?

Both crossovers offer space, power, and impressive technologies. However, if you're searching for something with more standard safety and all-weather performance capabilities, you'll want to get behind the wheel of a 2019 Subaru Outback!
