Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Edge than in the Volkswagen Taos.
The Ford Edge will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Taos.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Edge as you will with the Volkswagen Taos, 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 Ford Edge will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Taos, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Ford Edge is much wider than the Volkswagen Taos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
If you go with the Ford Edge, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Volkswagen Taos.
Handling
The Ford Edge has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Taos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Edge greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Taos.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Edge does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Volkswagen Taos.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Edge and the Volkswagen Taos.
The Ford Edge has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Volkswagen Taos.
