2018 Ford Edge

Pros: Comfortable, spacious cabin; classy interior materials; pleasant road manners; broad selection of excellent powertrains and technology features

Cons: Rear visibility hurt by thick roof pillars; higher trim levels get expensive as options are added

CG Says: The 2018 Ford Edge is relatively unchanged. A new Sport Appearance Package with unique trim and 19-inch wheels is available on SEL. Edge is a midsize crossover SUV with seating for five. Trim levels ascend through SE, SEL, Titanium, and performance-oriented Sport models. The base engine is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder with “twin scroll” turbocharger rated at 245 horsepower. Front-wheel-drive models with this engine have automatic start/stop to conserve fuel. Optional is a 3.5-liter V6, rated at 280 horsepower. Sport has a standard 315-hp, 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. All are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional across the board; except Sport where it is standard. Technology features include forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, active park assist, and a hands-free opening liftgate which opens with a swipe of a foot under the rear bumper. The previous-generation Edge was beginning to feel a bit long in the tooth, but the 2015 redesign brought it fully up to date. Though the “traditional” 5-passenger crossover SUV has been somewhat marginalized by three-row midsize SUVs and a new wave of upsized compact SUVs, the new Ford Edge offers plenty of “just right” appeal.
