Power is in the heart of the engine. To unearth this power, you’ll need to get behind the wheel of the Ford Edge and the Toyota RAV4. Although these SUVs offer different powertrains and capacities, both are capable in their own unique ways. Which delivers the performance you crave, though?
Whether tackling your morning commute or heading into the city for the weekend, you’ll want a thrilling amount of power under the hood to make the journey more enjoyable. The 2023 Ford Edge has two powertrains to entice you, each one more robust than the next:
- 2.0-liter EcoBoost® I-4 turbocharged engine: 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque
- 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 twin-turbocharged engine: 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque
However, if you hop behind the wheel of the Toyota RAV4, you may notice a huge difference in performance. This SUV also has two engines: one gas-powered and the other hybrid. However, when comparing its standard engine to the Ford’s, it falls short with 203 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
Another difference between these two SUVs is their drivetrain. The Ford comes standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which uses sensors to constantly monitor and balance torque between the wheels. These sensors signal to the computer to maximize traction!
On the other hand, the Toyota comes standard with front-wheel drive. If you want to enjoy all-wheel drive in the RAV4, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim.
Between your kids and all their essentials, your new puppy, and your partner’s sports equipment, you need space. A lot of it. Both the Edge and the RAV4 offer spacious seating appointments, large trunks, and configurable cabins to make sure nothing gets left behind.
What’s a proper family SUV without space for the whole family? With the 2023 Ford Edge and the 2023 Toyota RAV4, everyone can come along for the ride with seating for five. However, your kids will probably prefer the 113.9 cubic feet of passenger space in the Edge over the 98.9 cubic feet of room in the RAV4.
The extra space in the Edge is evident in the following dimensions:

| Front Headroom | 40.2 inches | 37.7 inches |
| Rear Headroom | 40.3 inches | 39.5 inches |
| Front Legroom | 42.6 inches | 41 inches |
| Rear Legroom | 40.6 inches | 37.8 inches |
To further enhance the roomy comfort of the Edge, this SUV offers an available 10-way power driver’s seat. Choose from an array of seating positions to remain supported no matter how long you’re behind the wheel.
You won’t have as many seating options to choose from in the RAV4, though, with its available 8-way power driver’s seat.
When you’re leaving the grocery store, you want to feel confident that your cruiser can take home all your items—bulk groceries included. Thanks to generous trunks and maximum cargo capacities, the Edge and the RAV4 will serve as reliable companions.
Not only is the 2023 Ford Edge more spacious when it comes to passenger room, it also has a larger cargo area to offer. Store your groceries and kids’ science projects with ease in 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seat. It may be a tighter fit in the RAV4, though, with only 37.6 cubic feet.
The Toyota RAV4 does have a configurable interior to make more space for larger items. Fold the rear seat flat and you’ll enjoy 69.8 cubic feet of cargo room. While this is enough space for some large purchases at the flea market, the Edge goes to the next level with 73.4 cubic feet of room when the rear seat is folded down.
With more thrilling power output and interior space for your little ones to enjoy, we think your family will prefer the 2023 Ford Edge over the 2023 Toyota RAV4.
