Ford Edge (2016-2020) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Comfortable for long-distance driving	Not as sharp to drive as most Fords
Very spacious cabin and boot	Earlier engines are less efficient than later units
Lots of kit as standard	Some reliability issues with dual-mass flywheels

Quick Summary

The Ford Edge (2016-2020) was Ford's flagship SUV, originally intended for the North American market but brought to Europe to capitalise on the SUV boom. Despite being physically larger than premium rivals like the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5, it offered a big, well-equipped, and comfortable family SUV experience with significant value for money. It struggled for sales in the UK market and was ultimately discontinued in 2019, though new examples were available into 2020.

This imposing vehicle translates its vast exterior into a cavernous interior, boasting exceptional space for passengers and a generous 602-litre boot (expanding to 1,688 litres with seats folded). Powered exclusively by 2.0-litre diesel engines, it prioritises refinement and comfort over agility, excelling as a smooth, quiet long-distance cruiser. While not dynamically sharp, it came with a high level of standard equipment, including the SYNC3 infotainment system, and offers affordable servicing, though it experienced rapid depreciation as a used car.

Best for: Families needing a spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable SUV; buyers seeking good value for money; long-distance drivers.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium badge appeal or the finest interior materials; those seeking dynamic handling or off-road capability; those concerned about rapid depreciation.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Edge if: You need a spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable family SUV; you primarily drive long distances; or you're looking for significant value for money in the used market.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise dynamic driving, premium badge appeal, or desire better off-road capability; or you are concerned about rapid depreciation.

Competitive Position: The Ford Edge (2016-2020) offers an impressive amount of space, comfort, and standard equipment for its price, positioning it as a strong value proposition in the used large SUV market. While it may lack the dynamic flair of some Fords or the premium cachet of German rivals, its refinement, practicality, and long-distance cruising ability make it a sensible choice for families, provided buyers are aware of its rapid depreciation.
