Drivers across North Texas—from Gainesville to Sherman to right here in Whitesboro—know the importance of a versatile SUV that can handle unpredictable weather, long drives, and everyday hauling. Two popular choices are the Chevy Blazer and Ford Edge. Both fall into the midsize SUV category and offer attractive styling, modern features, and strong performance. But which one stands out on Texas roads? At Holiday Chevrolet, we’ve helped hundreds of SUV shoppers compare these two vehicles side by side. Here’s what you need to know.
Performance in Real Texas Conditions
The 2025 Chevy Blazer offers two engine options: a standard 228-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder and an available 308-hp V6. The Ford Edge also offers two engines, but only the ST trim gets its high-powered V6. Blazer’s V6 is more accessible to everyday drivers, offering smooth highway cruising and confident towing for North Texas adventures. With responsive handling and an available twin-clutch AWD system, the Blazer feels more agile on backroads and winding Texas highways.
Fuel Economy and Efficiency
Gas prices across Texas can fluctuate, so fuel efficiency is a key factor. The Blazer’s 4-cylinder gets up to 29 MPG on the highway, outpacing the Edge’s base engine which tops out at 28 MPG. If you’re commuting between Whitesboro and Denton or making long weekend drives, the Blazer delivers better fuel savings without compromising power.
Interior Comfort and Cabin Design
Both the Blazer and Edge offer two rows of seating and comparable legroom, but the Blazer wins on style. Its Camaro-inspired cockpit and sporty aesthetic feel driver-focused and bold. Meanwhile, the Edge’s interior leans more conservative. The Blazer’s RS trim ups the ante with red accents, leather seating, and a flat-bottom steering wheel for a truly premium feel that appeals to Texas drivers who want to make a statement.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
Every Blazer comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus a crisp 10.2-inch touchscreen. The Ford Edge offers similar features, but some require higher trims. Chevy’s infotainment interface is also more intuitive—something Whitesboro families and solo commuters alike will appreciate. With available Wi-Fi hotspot and six USB ports, everyone stays connected in the Blazer, even during long Texas road trips.
Cargo Space and Practicality
When it comes to hauling gear, both SUVs are competitive. The Ford Edge offers slightly more cargo volume, but the Blazer counters with better storage versatility and a lower lift-over height. Whether you’re loading up groceries from Brookshire’s or packing for a weekend at Lake Texoma, both get the job done—but the Blazer makes it easier with thoughtful design touches.
Safety for Texas Roads
Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the Blazer lineup, including features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Keep Assist. The Ford Edge offers similar protections but often only on higher trims. In a state where drivers face sudden storms and crowded interstates, consistent safety shouldn’t be an upgrade—and Chevy gets that right.
Price and Value
The 2025 Chevy Blazer starts at a slightly lower MSRP than the Ford Edge, giving buyers more value out of the gate. Add in Chevy’s reputation for long-lasting performance and affordable maintenance, and the Blazer starts to pull ahead as the smart choice for Texans looking for everyday practicality with a sporty edge.
