The 2019 Edge: a captivating design on the roads of the West Island and the North Shore of Montreal.
Recently revamped for 2019, Ford took this opportunity to emphasize even more the already very dynamic design of the Edge. With its airy geometric grille, its tapered headlamps, its bright beltline moulding and its slanted rear window, the 2019 Ford Edge for sale in Laval at 440 Ford possesses an unbeatable design to turn heads on the roads of the West Island. The 2019 Toyota Highlander, by comparison, seems a whole lot more massive, with its horizontal grille that starts at the end of the hood way down to the front bumper, and its headlamps that go up to the first grille louvre extension. From the side, its lines are also less prominent, an impression confirmed by a rear end that is much straighter than the Ford SUV, with a very conservative taillights design. One thing is obvious: if you prefer athleticism in the lines of your vehicle, the choice is clear: the 2019 Ford Edge is the one you need! With the latter, you will attract many admiring glances each time you take place behind its steering wheel in the metropolitan area!
Dynamic and energy-efficient engines suited for long-distance trips at Ford.
The dynamics delivered by the 2019 Ford Edge in terms of style, in Laval as in Montreal, as opposed to the 2019 Toyota Highlander, are also found under the hood. Indeed, the Ford SUV proposes a 4-cylinder engine that develops 250 hp. The Toyota has a more powerful engine in comparison, with a 3.5L V6 developing 295 hp, that is, 45 additional horsepower compared to the 2019 Edge. However, this value is misleading, since the Ford SUV has a torque of 280 lb-ft, which is quite superior to the 263 lb-ft delivered by the Toyota unit. Thus, accelerations on board the Ford are sharper, which will be a key asset when it comes to passing other vehicles on the roads of the West Island or the North Shore of Montreal.
Besides, the lesser engine power and size of the Ford allow the latter to claim a superior energy efficiency over the Toyota SUV, with a fuel consumption of 11.4 L/100 km in the city (11.8 L/100 km for the Toyota), and 8.3 L/100 km on the highway (Highlander: 8.7 L/100 km). The 2019 Ford Edge is also less polluting with this powertrain, with CO2 emissions of 233 g/km, while the Toyota will emit 243 g/km. Moreover, the Ford SUV comes standard with all-wheel drive on the entry-range model, while you will have to settle for a front-wheel drive with the same Toyota trim. Lastly, if you wish for more sportiness, the Ford takes precedence again, since with the ST model, you will get a 2.7L Turbo V6 engine that provides 335 horsepower, for more driving enjoyment. Looking at the mechanical data, the winner is once again the 2019 Ford Edge before the 2019 Highlander with respect to performances.
The 2019 Ford Edge offers you a highly technological luxury interior.
Although the Highlander proposes a pretty busy design with a lot of horizontal lines in the interior, the 2019 Edge welcomes you in an interior with more rounded lines where the centre console proudly sits, extending to the top of the dashboard. Starting with its entry-range trim, the Ford SUV will offer standard bucket seats, allowing you to enjoy optimal support whatever the road, location or driving style, while the Toyota SUV only provides conventional seats. In both cases, you will get steering wheel operated cruise control and air conditioning. Where the Ford Edge stands apart from the Toyota is at the connectivity level, with its wireless internet access with FordPass Connect as well as the very advanced SYNC infotainment system and a SiriusXM 6 months prepaid subscription, even at entry range. Therefore, if you want to enjoy all the Ford comfort and technology, which surpasses what is offered on the Toyota SUV, the Ford Edge is once more an obvious choice.
