The Highlander’s base engine produces more horsepower than the Ford Edge. On the other hand, the Edge’s torque output is higher. Not to forget that the Ford Edge has an additional powertrain on offer that is more powerful than the Highlander. On the flip side, the Highlander has a hybrid powertrain option available while the Edge fails in this aspect. The Ford Edge is far more powerful than the Highlander. However, the Highlander is more fuel-efficient than the Edge.
Both the vehicles are equipped with well-established cabins. The base Highlander is equipped with fabric-trimmed seats and power-adjustable front seats. As you move higher, you get leather upholstery along with heated and ventilated front seats. Ford Edge is also offered with the same set of features. However, the Edge does not offer an optional third-row seating like the Highlander. This makes the Highlander a lot more practical.
Just like any other Toyota, the Highlander comes equipped with a wide range of technological features, including an eight-inch touchscreen display, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, Amazon Alexa, Wi-Fi hotspot, tri-zone automatic climate control, Satellite Radio, HD Radio, and a six-speaker sound system. Upgraded features like a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless device charging, ambient interior lighting, an 11-speaker JBL premium stereo system, and a navigation system are offered as optional. All Ford Edge trims come with a 12-inch touchscreen display. But the Edge’s infotainment system is not as seamless and easy-to-use as Highlander’s interface.
