True All-Season Performance

Living in this region means we experience all four seasons. You'll want a vehicle that can get you where you need to go, no matter the weather. Luckily with the Ford Edge, you can drive through snowy, wet, or icy conditions safely. That is because it comes standard with an AWD system.

Having all-wheel drive lets the vehicle send engine power to any of its four wheels. This helps limit the chances of the wheels slipping, so you can continue to steadily move along the road. This also provides added traction, so whether you are driving home as the snow is falling or need to head down an unpaved path, you can continue to have controlled handling for confident and safe driving.

The RAV4 does offer an AWD system, but it isn't the standard drivetrain. Without an upgrade, you'll have a FWD system in the Toyota RAV4 that can't provide that same level of stability when road conditions change.

Both of these SUVs come with seating for five, so from friends to the kids, there be space for whomever is riding along with you. The amount of space you and your passengers will have, though, will differ between the Ford Edge vs. Toyota RAV4.
