Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the starting price, horsepower, fuel economy, ground shadow size, and height. First of all, there is a notable difference in the starting price of the 2015 Ford Edge, which is $6,700 less than the base MSRP of the 2016 BMW X1. Also, the 2015 Edge has a more powerful engine and gets 3 mpg less than the 2016 X1. And finally, the X1 is both slightly smaller and shorter than the Edge. Among similarities are the body structure and maximum occupancy.
