Used 2020 Ford Edge Titanium for sale 

Ford provides the 2020 Edge in three exclusive trims with varying degrees of features. The line up starts at $31,100 with the SE trim and ends at $38,100 with the Titanium trim. All are powered by a robust 2.0L turbocharged inline-four engine which pumps out a lavish 245 horses and 275-pound feet of torque. The power is transferred to the front wheels via an 8-Speed automatic transmission.

Ford has done a pretty good job by providing all the necessary comfort and assistance features from the base up, which is an impressive move by them in this segment. Rearview camera and Lane keep assist are the few features that are available from the base trim. 

A few add-on packages are also available which adds functionality to the 2020 Edge. The cargo accessory package is a $290 option which includes cargo mat, rear bumper protector and a retractable cargo cover. Front and rear cabin floor liners for $160 and a Dual Headrest Rear Seat Entertainment System for $1,995 can be added to the car as per your liking.

Which 2020 Edge trim should you go for?

We would recommend you go all out and opt for the $38,100 Titanium trim which adds a host of creature comfort features along with a very useful set of safety and driving assistance features that are well worth the added premium. 

2020 Ford Edge is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged inline four-pot which chunks out peak power of 245 hp and peak torque of 275 pound-feet. The energy gets transferred to the front wheels via an 8-Speed Automatic. The transmission is optimized to deliver the power and torque linearly to maximize efficiency.

The acceleration is linear and doesn’t provide you with a thrill but gets the job done consistently without any hiccups. An all-wheel-drive setup is available for an added $1,995, but it would make the already sluggish power delivery worse. So if you want to opt for the All-Wheel-Drive powertrain, then the much more bonkers Ford Edge ST will make perfect sense.

Jeep Grand Cherokee is the only rear-wheel drive with a V6 power plant. But the absence of a turbocharger makes it a weak performer despite the superior performance figures. Ford Edge has the only turbocharged engine of the lot which gives it an energetic character, and thus the results are seen in its torque figures. The Grand Cherokee, even with its much powerful and potent 3.6 L V6 fails to beat the Edge in terms of torque figures.

How fast is the 2020 Ford Edge?

Acceleration in the 2020 Ford Edge will not take you by surprise as it provides a very linear uphill torque figure. This will not make you realize the pulling force and so, is perfect for a comfortable driving experience. Not a cup of tea for all drivers, but it is a boon for the passengers as it provides an exceptional level of comfort.

It still manages to do the 0-60 MPH run in an impressive 7.6 seconds with the front-wheel-drive setup. The twin-scroll turbocharger makes sure to pump in added air and give you the added boost with minimal lag. This makes it a very worthy mile muncher as well.

Ford has managed to cut down on emissions despite chunking out considerable power figures. The added power neutralizes added weight and helps it perform better than the competition. Chevy Blazer does the 0-60 run in a sluggish 7.9 seconds despite being lighter than the Ford.

What are its handling characteristics?

2020 Ford Edge treats you with a very calm and composed handling character. But the added curb weight makes it very sluggish at changing directions. There is considerable body roll during spirited cornering. But if not stretched, it provides with assuring stability at corners and is fun to drive.

The steering is responsive and weighs just about enough unlike the lifeless steering in its competitors. The suspension is bang at the center of the bandwidth with a balanced setting that makes it comfortable to ride over imperfect roads. High-speed runs are also fun with a composed body that doesn't sway a lot. 

60-0 MPH, How good are the brakes?

Ford Edge is equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels which helps it stop linearly. The electronic brake pressure distribution system makes sure to provide the right amount of bite to the wheels as per the pedal depression.

Front and rear have the same sized rotors and it stops to a standstill from60 MPH in 129 feet. There is minimal nose dive and low unsprung mass enables the brakes to perform efficiently. 

Jeep Grand Cherokee is the heaviest of the lot which demands more bite, thus it is equipped with the largest rotors of the lot with 13-inch on all four corners. The light-footed Hyundai Tucson is equipped with the smallest brakes of the lot. Nevertheless, it doesn’t hamper braking performance as it comes to a halt in a mere 124 ft.

What are the different safety features on offer?

How does it fare in the reliability report by J.D Power?

The efficient engine and gearbox setup helps Edge deliver impressive EPA-figures. The linear power delivery helps it attain this feat which in turn is because of the well balanced 8-Speed Automatic Gearbox.

The optional All-Wheel-Drive system drops the figures by 1 MPG which isn’t much of a deal-breaker. With a highway ranger of 537 miles, the 2020 Ford Edge is a comfortable mile muncher as well.

Hyundai Tucson delivers the same EPA figures as the Ford Edge but is much inferior in performance figures which makes it biased. This balanced character is the takeaway feature that highlights the Edge. Jeep Grand Cherokee is the least efficient because of its heavy body and unoptimized powerhouse.

Ford Edge is a very lavish 5-seater with both rows offering plenty of space for all occupants. The driver's seat is positioned higher which gives you a commanding view of the surroundings. Ford could have moulded the seats slightly better to provide better bolster support. 

The interior comes with standard cloth upholstery with the option to upgrade to leatherette or perforated leather.

The 2020 iteration now adds much more value with 10-way power-adjustable driver seats coming as standard. The dashboard is laid out with an 8-inch touch screen filling up the center. The materials used feel premium and fit and finish is up to standards. The lower trims, however, suffer from a few hard plastics.

A host of optional features like heated and ventilated front seats with memory settings and a leather-wrapped steering wheel adds up to the premium appeal. Edge has one of the best-sorted cabins with ample space for both rows. The competition doesn’t even stand a chance against this!

What are the infotainment features in 2020 Edge?

All the trims are loaded with an 8-inch touch screen infotainment system that features Ford’s intuitive SYNC 3 software. You will get used to the interface in no time, unlike the competition which has complicated setups. But it requires a long due update, as the UI looks dated and is awkward to use on a modern car.

Infotainment Features

• 8-inch touch screen
• Bang and Olufsen Sound System
• Audio Input Jack
• SYNC 3
• FordPass Connect with 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot
• SiriusXM Radio
• Voice-activated Infotainment Controls
• Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

How much cargo can the Ford Edge take?

The Ford takes the edge with an impressive 39.2 cubic feet of cargo volume. The cargo floor is low which makes loading and unloading heavy cargo easy. The second row is foldable which paves way for a huge 73.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

It has an edge here as most of its competitors come with three rows thus eating away from the cargo space. On the downside, the rear seats don’t fold down completely and so restrict space for larger cargo.

Jeep Grand Cherokee comes close to the Edge’s offering with 36.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Chevrolet Blazer due to its small rear overhang accounts to a minimal 30.5 cubic feet of volume. With a cargo-carrying capacity of 39.2 cu.ft, the Ford Edge stands tall in this department flaunting the best space in the segment.

Interior Features

• Dual-Zone Climate Control
• Wireless Charging Pad
• Push Button Start/Stop
• Two Driver configurable 4.2-inch LCD Display in Cluster
• Universal Garage Door Opener
• Ambient Lighting
• Memory Feature for external mirrors
• Heated Steering Wheel
• 110V/150W AC Power Outlet

2020 Edge is a subtly designed car that doesn’t flaunt sharp and striking lines. Instead, it is conservatively designed with muscular shoulders and well-proportioned wheels to complement the whole outlook. These characteristics give it a premium touch. 

The front fascia is instantly recognizable with the LED headlights and generic Ford grille which is rather large but fits into the whole image comfortably. It is a wide vehicle that provides a spacious cabin and improves stability. But the Edge now has an aged design, as the last major redesign was in 2015. The choice of energetic engines and a well-padded feature list cloaks the aged design. 

Tight spaces can become an issue for the Edge as the wide-body makes it challenging. This is where the much-needed driving assistance features come to the rescue. In terms of sheer size, the Grand Cherokee takes the podium, which results in sluggish body dynamics. Hyundai Tucson has the best blend of size and weight which makes it the lightest of the lot.

Exterior Features

• Bi-LED Headlamps
• Automatic Wiper Activated Headlamps
• Roof Rack Side Rails
• Beltline Molding
• LED Tail Lights
• Heated Power Mirror with memory
• Acoustic Laminated Windshield

Ford Edge vs Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai Tucson is a more modern and young contender which is the definition of “bang for buck”. It has a host of features that are exceptional for the price. It has a more modern interior with an easy to use infotainment system, both of which the Ford lacks. But it lacks far behind in performance which can be a deal-breaker for some. Ford tries to overcome this with exceptional levels of comfort and cabin space. It also provides a very quiet cabin which makes it utterly comfortable for highway drives. But it still fails to outweigh the Tucson for the overall modern package it provides. Thus, the Hyundai is our choice of the two.

Ford Edge vs Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep is brawny and heavy with a monster of an engine. But this monster is not optimized and thus suffers a lot in efficiency and power distribution. The interior quality is subpar and thus doesn’t impress as a whole. 2020 Edge, on the other hand, gives a more polished experience that paves for a better driving experience with ample cabin comfort. We will choose the Edge over the Grand Cherokee for the balanced character it provides.

Ford Edge vs Chevrolet Blazer

Blazer is the newest offering from Chevy which looks a lot like Camaro’s bloated cousin! It looks edgy and modern but is poor in terms of practicality and performance. It does score for the refined ride quality and agility of a performance sedan. But Ford overcomes all of these perks with ease and adds a lot more to it. It includes a much more powerful engine with plenty of interior space, which is a luxury on the Chevy. We would affirmatively go for the much more potent and desirable Ford Edge over the Chevy Blazer.

2020 Ford Edge is a very potent car that has a well-rounded character. It is a very strong performer with a spacious interior that houses two very comfortable rows that provide good body support. The interior is clean and well laid out. But the Edge is aging fast and it craves for an upgrade. Most of its competition is catching up fast and the one that has taken our fancy is the 2020 Hyundai Tucson. It provides everything that the Edge offers and much more. It is a much more sensible package which has all modern upgrades. The Tucson makes a much better wholesome SUV for a very small bump in price and it should be there on top of your checklist. We would also suggest you look into the ST model of the Edge, for far better performance pedigree.
