1. 2012 Venza vs. 2012 Ford Edge
december 2011
Top Venza Advantages
Over Edge
Ford introduced the Edge—a smaller, more fuel-efficient alternative to its Explorer sport-utility vehicle—in
2007. Since then, this midsize crossover has earned respect for its quiet and comfortable ride, agile handling
and roomy cabin. After gaining a more powerful and fuel-efficient V6 engine along
with an exterior refresh in 2011, Edge gets a turbocharged four-cylinder Eco
Boost engine option for 2012.
Even with Ford’s upgrades, the still-innovative Venza—introduced
in 2009—retains several advantages over the Edge, as detailed in
this document. Be sure to check eShowroom for even more useful
comparison information.
„ PASSENGERS PAMPERED
Venza’s fully appointed, spacious and luxurious sedan-like
interior sets it apart from Edge in day-to-day driving.
ƒ Easier access
Venza’s lower step-in height provides all occupants with
easier ingress and egress.
ƒ More passenger room
Once inside, Venza passengers enjoy more shoulder and
hip room in both the front and back seats.
„ cARGO fRiENDly
Venza’s rear hatch and clever storage compartments best
Edge on the practical side, too.
ƒ More room for big items
Venza’s cargo area is bigger. Plus, its lower liftover
height and higher-opening rear hatch make it easier to
access than Edge’s cargo area.
ƒ More options for small items
Venza’s gear shift is positioned in the dashboard,
opening up space for an extra-large center console,
complete with an integrated wire-management system
for cell phones and MP3 players.
„ cOMMiTMENT TO SAfETy
Every Venza comes standard with Toyota’s Star Safety
System™
, along with other safety technologies that Edge
doesn’t offer.
ƒ More airbags
Venza’s standard driver’s knee airbag isn’t available
on Edge.
ƒ Advanced brakes
Venza offers more-sophisticated stopping power, with
standard Electronic Brake-force Distribution, which isn’t
available on Edge.
„ EXcEPTiONAl VAlUE
The fully featured Venza can cost less than the Edge
at the point of purchase and also thoughout the
ownership experience.
ƒ More value
Compare Venza Limited AWD to Edge Limited
AWD with Equipment Group301A, and Venza
enjoys a $2,365 MSRP advantage. Yet Venza in this
configuration includes several features that are either
extra-cost options or simply not available on Edge.
ƒ lower predicted ownership costs
IntelliChoice calculates Venza’s five-year ownership
cost to be more than $1,600 less than that for Edge
(based on 2011 models).
„ EfficiENT PERfORMANcE
Venza’s design and engineering innovations help offset
Edge’s more powerful engine.
ƒ lower curb weight
Edge’s V6 produces more horsepower than Venza’s V6.
But Venza’s lower curb weight means the two vehicles
have virtually the same power-to-weight ratio.
ƒ Enhanced drivability
Venza’s electronic power steering and bigger wheels
and tires make for a more spirited driving experience.
ƒ fuel efficiency with less complexity
Edge’s available EcoBoost four-cylinder engine
achieves an EPA rating of 30 mpg on the highway.
Venza’s available four-cylinder engine is rated at a
comparable 27 mpg on the highway, but without the
complexity and the potentially higher service costs of
the EcoBoost’s turbocharger.

Ford Edge qualifies as a crossover vehicle, but—compared with
Venza—its design borrows more heavily from that of SUVs than
sedans. Like Venza, Ford offers two engine choices for Edge: a
standard V6 and the optional EcoBost turbocharged four-cylinder.
Customers can choose among four grades and FWD and AWD
drivetrains, including the Sport that is powered by a 3.7-liter V6.
Here are some of the major features of the three most relevant

With the rear seat folded down, Venza offers more
room for cargo than Edge. And its lower liftover
height and higher opening hatch make all that
space easier to access. And Venza comes standard
with a cargo area cover, helping to keep valuables
out of sight and more secure.

more options for small items
Toyota’s engineers found a way to mount the
transmission shifter in the dashboard rather than
between the front bucket seats. This opens up space
for an extra-large 14.7-liter center console that Edge
can’t match. Among other design innovations, the
console integrates a wire management system for
cell phones and MP3 players.
