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) is Ford's flagship SUV, offering more space and equipment than premium rivals like the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 at a significantly lower price point. Originally intended for North America, Ford brought this big, well-equipped family SUV to Europe to capitalise on the SUV boom. Despite a facelift in 2018 with new headlamps, revised grille, and updated trim lines, the Edge struggled for sales success and was discontinued at the end of 2019, though new examples remained available in 2020.

The Edge excels as a refined long-distance cruiser with an exceptionally spacious cabin offering abundant accommodation for families. With 602 litres of boot space expanding to 1,688 litres with the rear seats folded, it provides exceptional practicality. All versions came well-equipped with dual-zone climate control, touchscreen infotainment, parking sensors, and rearview camera as standard. Fuel economy reaches up to 42.4mpg on official figures, whilst servicing costs are amongst the lowest of any major dealer network. However, the car's substantial mass means it lacks the driving dynamism of smaller Fords, and it sheds value rapidly, particularly since going off sale in the UK.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, comfortable, long-distance cruiser with excellent equipment levels and exceptional value for money.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising sharp handling, those expecting Ford's typical driving dynamics, or buyers concerned about rapid depreciation and resale value.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Edge if: You're seeking a spacious, comfortable, long-distance cruiser with excellent equipment levels and exceptional value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sharp handling, expect Ford's typical driving dynamics, or are concerned about rapid depreciation and resale value.

Competitive Position: The Ford Edge (2016-2020) offers exceptional space and equipment at a lower price than premium rivals like the Audi Q5 and Volkswagen Touareg. Whilst the BMW X3 scores higher for expert rating and overall CarGurus rating, the Edge provides superior practicality and value. It may lack the sharp handling of German competitors and suffers from rapid depreciation due to its discontinuation in the UK market, but for budget-conscious buyers seeking a spacious, comfortable family SUV with low running costs, it represents outstanding value. The Edge is best suited to those prioritising comfort and practicality over driving dynamics.
