Overall Rating
The new Ford Edge comes with a great interior that doesn’t just look good, but also is spacious. It has a great Turbocharged V6 engine in the higher trims along with a good suspension set up as well.
The Ford Edge comes as one of the strong propositions in the segment of midsize crossover SUV. The pricing of the car starts at $28,100 for the base model and it climbs up to $40,095. The new Ford Edge comes with a great interior that doesn’t just look good, but also is spacious. It has a great Turbocharged V6 engine in the higher trims along with a good suspension set up as well. The base engine on offer is also great, as it packs a punch.
If you live in a cold place then going with the top-end makes sense as it offers heated seats and other features to fight off the cold and harsh weather elements, If you are a city dweller who will be doing short stints on the car rather than long hauls, then the base trim should be fine as it is sufficiently powered, has enough features to keep you happy while driving and gives you the benefit of better fuel economy as well.

The Ford Edge continues to be the successful product that it used to be and this time in order to add to its charms, there are 4 trims. Namely the SE, SEL, Titanium, and Sport. Ford has made sure that each of them comes with its own significant set of features, which are specified below in the table.

With each trim, significant differences can be seen in the standard wheels, comfort features, and other driver aids. The price difference between each trim seems to be around $3000 as you go higher. But it is noticeable that each trim fairly justifies the premium it demands.

The base engine on offer is said to be powerful and punchy enough to tackle long overtakes and highway cruising with ease.
This engine specced in as a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that belts out 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque with ease doesn’t just look good on paper, it works well in the real world as well.

The most powerful car in this lot is the Ford Edge, and these numbers on the paper have also proven themselves in terms of acceleration and other means of performance. The Edge has more to offer in terms of torque as well. The second most powerful in the lot is the CR-V, which is also a good car to consider from this segment.
The Ford Edge is one of the most powerful vehicles from the segment yet it manages to offer really great MPG figures. By returning 20 MPG in the city and 30 MPG in the city. It certainly is a winner for the power it offers.

The class-leading MPG figures belong to none other than the Honda CR-V, thanks to its i-VTEC engine. When compared to the class average the Ford has lower mileage but it's certainly not too big a difference. Given the tank capacity, it should be able to offer a healthy range as well.
With a completely new design, the Edge comes with a lot more space in the interior for the passengers as well as for cargo. This design has incorporated more soft-touch elements into the interior ensuring that there's an improvement in the luxurious feel on offer.
The front seats are the sportier bucket seat which offers better support through different ride conditions.

All the above cars come with the capacity to seat 5. The interiors have very similar dimensions but the Ford clearly has more shoulder and legroom in the front row, this is the same in the second row as well. This extra space means taller people would have greater time in the back as well. Some features of the interior are:
Even though slightly harder to use Ford Edge has a good infotainment system. It comes loaded with features to increase user convenience. With the clunky interface and button alignment, you will need some time to get used to the system.
Once past this phase, you will be having good times with your vehicle. Some of the features are:
The Ford Edge adapts the looks of a typical Ford SUV but in a very humble manner. It can easily impress anyone with its great looks. Even though not too big the car definitely has a good road presence, and the tough SUV looks.
