2024 Ford Edge vs. Explorer: Price Comparison

Price is often the first thing that drivers consider when shopping for a new ride, so it’s a great place to start our guide. The Ford Edge has already been updated for the 2024 model year, while the Explorer is still in its 2023 model. Therefore, the Edge is a bit pricier on its entry-level trim compared to the Explorer; however, you’ll notice that the top-level Edge trim is actually more affordable than its Explorer counterpart! Compare prices below:

2024 Ford Edge:

  • 2024 Ford Edge SE: $38,365 Starting MSRP
  • 2024 Ford Edge ST: $47,205 Starting MSRP

2023 Ford Explorer:

  • 2024 Ford Explorer King Ranch®: $54,270 Starting MSRP

2024 Ford Edge vs. Explorer: Interior Dimensions

Another key difference between these two SUVs is their interior space. They’re both classified as midsize SUVs, but the Ford Edge is a bit smaller than the Explorer and offers two rows of seats instead of three and a smaller rear cargo bay. Here are the relevant interior dimensions for both vehicles:
