2022 Ford Edge vs. 2022 Lexus RX

If you're seeking for a powerful mid-size SUV with a stylish design and top-notch performance, the 2022 Ford Edge is a fantastic choice. This one is highly recommended due to its amazing ergonomics.

What new features will the 2022 Lexus RX add to the current list of standard equipment? Let's now contrast these two.

Design & Style

Due to the Ford Edge's approximately 250-pound weight advantage over the Lexus RX, it may be more effective, handle, and accelerate better.

The Edge is simpler to handle, maneuver, and park in confined situations than the RX since it is 3.7 inches shorter.

When less engine cooling is required, the Edge's front grille utilizes electronically controlled shutters to block airflow and reduce drag. This enhances highway fuel efficiency. Active grille shutters are not available on the RX.

In order to reduce irritating noise and vibration in the passenger area, particularly at low frequencies, the Edge ST incorporates computer-generated active noise cancellation. Active noise canceling is not available on the RX.

Technology & Safety

In the event that most or all of the engine's coolant is lost, The Edge incorporates a standard "limp home mechanism" to prevent drivers from being stranded. To allow the driver to reach a service facility for repairs, the engine will diminish in power, operate on just half of its cylinders at once, and illuminate a warning light on the dashboard. Because the RX lacks a lost coolant limp home option, a coolant leak might leave you stranded or cause catastrophic engine damage.

The Edge is equipped with standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically applies the brakes after a collision to help avoid more crashes and injuries. In the case of a collision that activates the airbags, more accidents are conceivable without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed since the RX lacks a post collision braking system.

All-Wheel Drive is a feature that comes standard on the Edge to provide drivers the most traction and stability possible. But the RX charges more for it.

New automobiles are put through comprehensive frontal and side crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Overall, the Ford Edge did better in these tests than the Lexus RX, suggesting that RX drivers are more likely to suffer physical harm in an accident.

Performance

The Ford Edge's standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder engine is capable of producing up to 280 horsepower, which is a significant level of power. The standard 3.5 DOHC 4-cylinder engine in the RX 350 only produces 268 horsepower at its maximum capacity.

The Bottom Line

Although each car has its own distinctive characteristics, the 2022 Ford Edge performs better than its rival in every other area, particularly technology. Do you still have any reservations regarding the capabilities of this mid-size SUV? We believe you'll like it equally as those who already possess the drive.
