Overview & Reviews

Crossovers with carlike ride and handling characteristics are perennially popular, and a good example of the breed is the smart-looking Ford Edge. It's a midsize crossover with seating for five. Thanks to its roomy interior, long list of amenities and available all-wheel drive, it's typically a good match for small- and medium-size families seeking a do-it-all utility vehicle.

In road tests, our editors have praised the Edge's quiet ride and advanced features like the MyFord Touch electronics interface, though as with most modern, in-car technology, there's a learning curve. Additionally, Ford offers a range of different engines in the Edge to appeal to crossover buyers seeking performance, fuel economy or a balance of both. Although the Ford Edge might not appeal to bigger families in need of high passenger capacity, it's a solid contender in most other respects.

  Ford Edge SEL Plus - 2007 Ford Edge
  By J-P - November 6 - 1:42 pm

  Now over 6 months with the Ford Edge and nothing wrong to report. The car works fine and very pleasant to drive. Do not look for super fast acceleration but on long drive you will appreciate the confort, space and nagivation system.

  Great Vehicle - 2007 Ford Edge
  By TOM - November 4 - 11:16 am

  This has been an excellent vehicle to drive. The handling is that of car in an SUV body. I drive 30,000 miles per year for work and this has been the best vehicle my company has ever bought for me.

  Edge of Greatness - 2007 Ford Edge
  By George Kozak - October 26 - 11:13 am

  I like a lot of things about this car. Perfomance of the 3.6 is very good. The interior styling is comfortable and stylish. Controls are easy to master and reach. The car is versatile with fold down seat options. Gas mileage is good compared to my older explorer V8.Power is as good or better for the V6.

  I was pleasantly surprised after test driving this car. I honestly never thought I would buy an American car. I love my Edge. Its roomy both in the front and rear. Its very easy to see out as well.

  Great SUV - 2007 Ford Edge
  By Marcy - October 22 - 4:13 pm

  I was looking for a more fuel efficient SUV (which sounds like an oxymoron), but I drove the Edge and fell in love with it. Very sporty and fun to drive!

  Excellent choice - 2008 Ford Edge
  By Indiania - October 18 - 8:13 pm

  When decided to purchase a crossover knew we did not like a Pilot, experience with my father in laws pilot, test drove several different model came down to Highlander and Edge. Went on a trip and rented a Highlander for a week came home and purchased an Edge. Returned last night from a 900 mile trip and have nothing but good to say about the Ford. Good mile comfortable ride, lots of power, goes good in the snow.

  2007 Ford Edge Review - 2007 Ford Edge
  By Ford Edge Owner - October 18 - 2:42 pm

  We have had the vehicle for four months and have been very impressed. We traded a 2002 Ford Explorer and have had no regrets. I am 62" and am very pleased with the leg room, both front and back. Leg room and shoulder room is better than our old Explorer. It drives very smoothly and acceleration is more than adequate. The panoramic vista moonroof is wonderful and the reclining rear seats are very inviting. Road handling is is authoritative and minor bumps go relatively unfelt. The only thing we lost was rear cargo space, as our Explorer had significantly more room in the rear cargo area. However, this was not one of our criteria. We wholeheartedly recommend the Ford Edge.

  I love my Edge! - 2007 Ford Edge
  By Lou - October 17 - 6:34 pm

  I love my Edge! Looked at a Dodge Magnum, Toyota FJ Cruiser, and the Chevy HHR but chose the Edge. The design is classic, its a blast to drive and the car looks great in black!

  Impressions of my first CUV - 2007 Ford Edge
  By Tom Randazzo - October 16 - 7:43 am

  This Edge is my first venture into the SUV/CUV segment. Having dismissed these vehicles as heavy, rough-riding, gas-sucking and prone to roll-over on the highway - this Edge shatters those perceptions. Looks, ride, power, and a surprisingly roomy interior - this CUV has it all. It achieves a true 18+ mpg in the city and 23+ on the highway, plus it has stability control. Having always been a car or mini-van person, Im perfectly happy with this Edge.

  Keeps Getting Better - 2007 Ford Edge
  By Steve Berkshire - October 6 - 8:40 pm

  Every new Ford is better than the last, and this one is no exception. I love this car. Plenty of power, comfort, and room. At first, my friends said I bought a "chick car", but after riding in it, they figured out that its quite "gender neutral".
