The Ford Edge offers a total of four different trims.

Reliability: 2019 Ford Edge vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe
One of the key indicators of reliability in any vehicle is the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study score. And according to this study, Hyundai vehicles are substantially more reliable than Fords. In fact, Hyundai ranks 6th in reliability, which is above the industry average. On the other hand, Ford ranks 16th and reports 28 more problems per 100 vehicles. Another key reliability indicator is the vehicle's ability to start in any condition and handle large electrical loads. The Ford Edge comes equipped with a 540-amp battery; while the Santa Fe comes equipped with a standard 800-amp battery. This means you can expect more reliable battery performance — which is critical to starting — in the Santa Fe than you can in the Ford Edge.
Warranty: The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2019 Ford Edge
The warranty offered by a manufacturer is a true testament to their confidence in the vehicle and ability to stand behind its craftsmanship and reliability. Ford follows the industry standard and offers a 3-Year/36,000-Mile new vehicle warranty as well as a 5-Year/60,000-Mile powertrain warranty. At the same time, the Ford Edge only comes with 5 years of corrosion coverage. On the other hand, the Hyundai Santa Fe is backed by America's Best Warranty. You'll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from an industry-leading 5-Year/60,000-Mile new car warranty, which is comprehensive, bumper-to-bumper coverage. When it comes to powertrain coverage, the Santa Fe almost doubles Ford's coverage with a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty. And the Santa Fe also includes a 7-Year Anti-Perforation Warranty with Unlimited Mileage. Simply put, you'll be able to go farther and do more with less worry when you drive the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.
