Used 2019 Ford Edge Sport for sale 

The 2019 Ford Edge comes in four trims: SE, SEL, Titanium, and ST. All but the ST come with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive, while the ST gets a turbocharged V6 and all-wheel-drive, though you can find all-wheel-drive in models with the four-cylinder engine as well.

Every trim but the SE is available with several option packages. These packages can be had to give additional comfort, infotainment, and active safety features beyond those listed below. The price for the base SE trim starts at $29,995 and goes all the way up to $42,355 for the top-end ST trim. Some of the common interior features include automatic headlights, rear privacy glass, 60/40-split folding and reclining rear seatbacks, automatic wipers, a height-adjustable driver's seat, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, an exterior keyless entry pad, dual-zone automatic climate control, upgraded cloth upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, Sync 3 infotainment system(except for the base SE trim), and noise-reducing front windows among other features.

Trim to Choose

The base SE trim comes with a nice array of standard features, but you should choose a higher trim to gain access to the optional features mentioned above. The SEL comes with a few extra bits of technology, and you may be able to equip it with a dozen or more additional features through packages or as individual options.

In any 2019 Ford Edge other than the ST trim, the engine is a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder unit making 250 horsepower, with an automatic stop/start feature to save fuel when idling. The sporty ST has a turbocharged 2.7L V6 putting out 335 horsepower. Both the engines come mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission, and the ST version has steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The smaller engine has a front-wheel-drive (FWD) as its basic setup, with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) available as an option; the ST has an all-wheel-drive as standard. The 2019 Edge is rated to tow 3,500 pounds.

The competition is tough for the SUV since every SUV in this segment has more or less similar power and torque figures. The Hyundai Santa Fe produces the most amount of power thanks to its bigger 3.3L V6 oil burner. While Ford Edge’s engine might look puny in terms of displacement, it puts out the highest amount of torque in this comparison while on the ST trim, the Ford gets a 2.7L twin-turbo V6 which dishes out 335 hp and 380 lb-ft. of torque.

Acceleration

No matter which engine option you choose, the 2019 Edge carries itself with mindful obedience. The adrenaline rush is off the menu, but the 2.0L turbo-4 in every Edge save for the ST has enough pull to distinguish itself. It’s up 5 hp this year for a total of 250 hp, and now it’s paired with an 8-speed automatic. It’s strong enough to propel the Edge from 0 to 60 mph in less than eight seconds.

Coming to the ST trim’s twin-turbo 2.7L V-6, Ford says this engine can reach 60 mph in less than six seconds. It’s punchy through the midrange, less excited about high-revving power trips—and Ford takes its engine noise, doubles it, and pipes it into the Edge ST when it’s put into a Sport driving mode. It’s a distraction from otherwise solid powertrain performance through an automatic with paddle shifters and quicker reflexes than the standard-issue unit.

Even though with the highest torque figure the Ford still comes last in either the 0-60 mph run or the quarter-mile run in this comparison. Noteworthy is the figure of Honda Passport which did 0-60 mph in a shade over 6 seconds. For the quarter-mile run, the Nissan Murano stole the show and did it in 15.6 seconds and the Santa Fe followed it at 15.8 seconds.

Ride and Handling

The Edge has an independent suspension, electric power steering, and delivers good body control and precise road feel with a well-controlled ride. It’s much like Ford’s big, fading Fusion sedan in the way it steers crisply into corners and tracks easily down the interstate, and in the way, it holds a tight rein on body motion when it thwomp over bad ruts.

The Edge Titanium trim gets bigger wheels, but they don’t diminish the Edge’s well-weighted steering and on-center feel, once it gets up to moderate speeds. Ford had offered an adaptive-steering system on the Edge in prior years, but it’s been deleted since its benefits in low-speed parking-lot maneuvers were minimal.

The Edge ST shows more heft in ride manners. It puts on its own 20-inch shoes and rubbers—21-inchers and summer tires on some editions—and has a stiffer suspension tune and more heavily weighted steering when the Sport button on the rotary shift knob is tapped. It’s very firm, but the Edge ST avoids even the old Edge Sport pitfalls. The choppy pavement isn’t its enemy.

The ST package represents Ford’s first attempt to shore up the “sport” part of the sport-utility equation, and while it’s not a vast change in terms of driving feel, it’s a smart cosmetic package that doesn’t ding the Edge’s user-friendly dynamics.

Braking

The Edge's brakes can seem a little touchy at first, but they provide strong, reassuring stopping power. When you first apply pressure to the pedal, the initial action is rather soft, but the braking force is easy to modulate. Unlike other vehicles with a similar type of pedal characteristic, the Edge manages to avoid vagueness in routine braking. In terms of shedding speed from 60-0 mph, this Ford took a distance of 119 feet, which is an acceptable result for a midsize SUV.

The Ford Edge gets the biggest brake size in this comparison and even though being on the heavier side manages to stop from 60 mph in just under 119 feet. While the Santa Fe is the better of all and took just 116 feet to come to a standstill from 60 mph. Honda Passport on the other hand took the maximum distance of 126 feet to halt making it a bit risky proposition because the Honda Passport is quickest to hit 60 mph among all.

With its four-cylinder engine, the 2019 Edge gets above-average fuel economy ratings for the class. The four-cylinder turbocharged oil burner in front-wheel-drive configuration will return an estimated 22 mpg in the city, 29 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. With all-wheel-drive these figures take a hit at 21 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 23 mpg combined. Ratings drop by a few more mpg in models with the V6 and return an estimated 19 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined

Among all, the Ford Edge returns the best mileage figures thanks to the smaller displacement turbocharged engine. The icing over the cake is that even though it gets the smallest fuel tank capacity the range you get is more than the competitors. Both the Japs i.e. Nissan and Honda have similar mileage figures and the Korean lags behind with the lowest numbers.

The Edge is an extremely quiet vehicle with solid seat comfort upfront, although the back seat is rather flat. The ride comfort deals with many moderate bumps very well. Smaller road seams and textures tend to make their way to the cabin in the form of a subtly busy ride.

The seats are cozy thanks to comfortable seat cushioning and soft leather. But the modest bolsters are up to the task of the car's handling. The flat, unsupportive rear seat is clearly optimized for folding, not ultimate comfort. A reclining rear seatback is a nice touch, though.

All the SUVs in this comparison are five-seaters but the Ford Edge is most spacious. But again being midsize SUVs it’s moreover the same story in the others as all are in the average category. And those who usually have few people on board should consider Ford Edge over the others.

Infotainment

The standard SYNC system works OK, but it’s fairly basic. The available SYNC 3 infotainment system is the better choice, as it comes with a responsive touch screen and an intuitive interface. It also incorporates helpful features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making it easy to connect your smartphone to the vehicle.

However, some of the physical controls could be in a better location, and the infotainment systems found in some rivals are more modern and have sharper graphics.

Standard infotainment features: 

• the SYNC interface, 
• a USB port, 
• Bluetooth, voice recognition, satellite radio, 
• a six-speaker stereo, 
• a 4.2-inch display, and FordPass Connect with a Wi-Fi hot spot

Interior Features

The 2019 Edge seats five people in two rows. It doesn't have the most upscale interior in the class, but the cabin is well-built and isolates occupants from outside noise. The seats are comfortable and supportive. The driver enjoys good visibility in all directions, and both rows of seats provide plenty of head- and legroom, even in models equipped with a moonroof.

Standard seating features:

• Fabric upholstery

Available seating features:

• Upgraded cloth upholstery
• 10-way power-adjustable front seats
• Leather upholstery
• Heated steering wheel
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated and ventilated rear seats

Cargo Capacity

This midsize SUV has 39.2 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 73.4 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. That's a good amount of cargo space for a two-row SUV, but many three-row SUVs still give you more room for your gear than the Edge.

The Super practical Honda Passport ranks as the best Cargo carrier in our comparison, while the Santa Fe XL lacks behind because of its 7 seater option. The Ford Edge has the second-best cargo space on offer making it a decent proposition for the ones looking for frequently utilizing the boot.

The fresh front facia on the 2019 Edge livens things up considerably, while housing new standard LED headlights. The LED taillights are also larger, while the liftgate has also been revised. This year brings different designs for the alloy wheels (18-inch rims are standard) and extra color choices; the ST version is available in Performance Blue.

The ST has a gloss black grille and matching fog-light surrounds, black bezels in the headlights, and dual-exhaust outlets. The Edge’s basic wide stance remains, however, so care needs to be taken when negotiating tight parking slots and one-car garages. But that does have the upside of providing extra stability to the chassis and plenty of shoulder room for occupants.

Exterior Dimensions

The Ford Edge is still a practical midsize SUV despite its size, The length of the SUV is 188.8“ with a width of 75..9” and a height of 68.3”. The wheelbase measures 112.2”, while curb weight is a massive 4,216 lbs.

The Ford is small in terms of length among all but still manages to give you the biggest wheelbase which translates into more space inside. Also, the ground clearance is the highest again in the Edge making it easy for you to tackle bad roads and big bumps. Even slight off-roading won’t be a task here provided you go with the all-wheel-drive variant.

2019 Ford Edge Vs 2019 Nissan Murano

The Ford Edge is one of the best handlings and performing SUVs in the market today in the segment it exists. The Edge offers a higher cargo capacity and a better infotainment system. On the other hand, the Murano offers a plush and quiet ride and has fit and finish levels that seem taken from a segment above.

So if sportiness is what you are after, the ford edge is the one to go for while if you are going for a comfortable and premium mile muncher, the Murano is the one.

2019 Ford Edge Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe

The starting price of the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is just $1,995 more than the Edge's, and it offers a few more toys and seven seats for a similar outlay. The Santa Fe also has a bigger engine and a far better towing capacity than the Ford Edge.

Therefore, instead of opting for the Edge straight away, we certainly recommend checking out the Hyundai Santa Fe, which comes as a better option for a slight premium.

2019 Ford Edge Vs 2019 Honda Passport

The 2019 Honda Passport and Ford Edge are neck and neck in this comparison, and you may want to test-drive both to determine which one you like better. Both are capable SUVs with comfortable rides, though the Ford gets better gas mileage with its standard four-cylinder engine.

The biggest difference between these two is on the inside. The Edge has a slightly smaller cabin with two rows of seats and less total cargo space than the Passport. The larger Passport even with two rows of seats is spacious and has a higher cargo capacity than the Edge.

The two-row 2019 Edge is a good midsize SUV. Rivals have ritzier interiors with more cutting-edge technology, but it’s not without its merits. The Edge comes with a long list of standard features and a spacious interior, and it offers a choice of two potent engines. Not only this you get a wholesome package of good fuel economy, decent cabin and cargo space, and last but not least moderate off-roading capabilities. While we won’t say the Ford Edge will hit the top-charts anytime soon but will continue to be a mediocre child which gets the job done.
