Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the Acura RDX, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Acura RDX and the Ford Edge.

Convenience
The Ford Edge requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Acura RDX, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Acura RDX is somewhat more expensive than the Ford Edge.

Dimensions
The Acura RDX is a little narrower than the Ford Edge, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. When looking at overall length, the Acura RDX takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Ford Edge.

Handling
The Acura RDX has the same turning radius as the Ford Edge, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Acura RDX will do just as well as the Ford Edge, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Acura RDX has a little more horsepower than the Ford Edge.
