Edge E Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Is it tuning? Or is there actually a difference? The numbers always seem to favor the Edge. Something seems fishy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 There are quite a few differences. Off the top of my head i'd have to say luxury and sound deadening. Different shift points in the transmission and adjustable suspension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 MKX is heavier due to added features and sound deadening, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I think OP's question is regarding the engines & transmissions specifically. If that's it, as far as I know, they are the same with only a few tuning tweaks. Edit: on the mobile site, the thread title is cutoff. The full title is "What (if anything) is the difference between the Edge Sport 2.7 and the MKX 2.7?".

The full title is "What (if anything) is the difference between the Edge Sport 2.7 and the MKX 2.7?". Correct. Why i mentioned the engines. Specifically, the horsepower/torque difference doesn't pan out in test results. Having driven both, and owning the Edge Sport, the Edge feels and tests faster. By the way, if you check the stats, there isn't any weight difference. I'm wondering if the numbers are fudged. Wouldn't be the first time that a manufacturer has underrated a non-upscale engine vs. the upscale version. Could be gearing-haven't checked. Wondering if anyone knows for sure.

Edge E Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Going to add...which points to the "no real difference" theory........ the new Edge ST is no faster than the Edge Sport, and in fact is slower..... With an 8 speed and more hp/torque something is not right. I think the Edge Sport 2.7 is/was underrated. I will say this...octane makes a big difference. It is possible that the MKXs I drove did not have 91 or above in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Once again, there is a transmission problem at least with the tested vehicles AND they were tested in Utah at over 5K feet above sea level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
