Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the Cadillac XT5, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Ford Edge will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT5.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Cadillac XT5 as you will with the Ford Edge, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Cadillac XT5 is somewhat more expensive than the Ford Edge.

Dimensions
The Cadillac XT5 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 Cadillac XT5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Ford Edge.

Handling
The Cadillac XT5 has the same turning radius as the Ford Edge, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Ford Edge is clearly the choice over the Cadillac XT5 for pulling heavy loads. The Cadillac XT5 has a little less horsepower than the Ford Edge.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Ford Edge.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT5 and the Ford Edge. The Cadillac XT5 has less cargo space than the Ford Edge, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
