Save for a mild styling tweak about five years ago, it\u2019s been nearly ten long years since the current iteration of the Ford Edge went on sale \u2013 and even then, the model was essentially a rehash of a machine which first appeared in 2007. Serving as Ford\u2019s entrant into the hyper-competitive two-row affordable crossover segment, it competes against strong sellers like the current Hyundai Santa Fe.
If the Ford Edge looks familiar for this model year, well, that\u2019s because it is. The brand\u2019s entry into this popular segment hasn\u2019t changed much since it was revamped almost a decade ago, continuing to reside on a platform that was shared with vehicles in other markets such as Europe and China. Without many structure-sharing siblings, it is widely predicted the Edge will case production soon in favour of a new electrified model.
Standard gear on most trims is a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo good for 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, numbers which drop by an unspecified amount unless 93 octane fuel is used. Customers checking out the pricey ST will find a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 making 335 horses and 380 lb-ft of twist. All-wheel drive is standard in Canada and acceleration is best described as \u2018leisurely\u2019.
Four-cylinder models deploy an eight-speed automatic (hey, at least it isn\u2019t a miserable CVT) to eke out roughly 10.0 L/100km in combined city/highway driving conditions. The much more powerful V6 bumps that number to an indicated 11.1 L/100km. As mentioned, Ford recommends 93 octane fuel in order to crank out indicated power figures but says either engine will run just fine on regular-grade 87 octane.
As with most other aspects of its existence, the Edge puts forth a wholly adequate performance in terms of safety \u2013 if with no real outstanding measure. It earned a Top Safety Pick in its present iteration from the IIHS, performing well in all crash tests. The headlight intensity was criticized and kept it from adding the coveted \u2018+\u2019 suffix to its rating.
Steady on, man. Boffins at Consumer Reports rank it squarely midpack in the midsize SUV class; like its safety record, it performs admirably but isn\u2019t a stand-out winner. Predicted owner satisfaction is given a 3-out-of-5 score, while predicted reliability earns a 4-out-of-5.
Look for the Blue Oval\u2019s latest software baked into this rig\u2019s infotainment, with all trims getting an enormous centre touchscreen oriented vertically. Redundant controls for the likes of ventilation are below the screen and easy to grab with a gloved hand in winter. Seat upholstery gets snazzier the further you climb the trim walk, though both the SE and SEL get cloth covers. Cargo volume behind the second row is a useful 39.2 cubic feet.
Legroom in the first and second rows crest 40 inches, making the Edge \u2013 on paper \u2013 plenty roomy for even NBA-sized family members. Note its optional sunroof eats significantly into headroom, so try before you buy. The cargo capacity mentioned above is aided by generous width in that area, measuring up over five feet wide in some spots. Ground clearance is a competitive 8 inches.
