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 a large, comfortable, and well-equipped family SUV that offers exceptional interior space and a generous 602-litre boot, expanding to 1,688 litres. While its substantial two-tonne mass means it's not the most agile, its smooth diesel engines and comfortable ride make it an excellent long-distance cruiser, prioritising refinement and stress-free motorway driving over sporty dynamics. It comes loaded with standard features, including a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, parking sensors, and for later models, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

As a used car, the Edge represents incredible value for money, often found for significantly less than its original price, though it depreciates quickly. Running costs are reasonable for its class, with good fuel economy (up to 42.4mpg) and affordable servicing through the Ford network. It's a sensible choice for those seeking a spacious, practical family vehicle without the premium badge snobbery of rivals, offering more car for the cash.

Best for: Buyers on a budget, families needing abundant space and comfort, long-distance commuters, and those who value standard equipment and practicality over badge appeal.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising premium badge appeal, those seeking sharp driving dynamics and agility, or buyers concerned about rapid depreciation.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Edge if: You're on a budget, seeking abundant space and comfort for families, are a long-distance commuter, or value standard equipment and practicality over badge appeal.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium badge appeal, sharp driving dynamics and agility, or are concerned about rapid depreciation.

Competitive Position: The Ford Edge (2016-2020) carves out a niche as a significantly larger and more spacious alternative to premium SUVs like the Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60, often at a much lower price point on the used market. While it may not offer the same badge prestige or dynamic driving experience as some rivals, its strengths lie in its immense practicality, comfortable long-distance cruising ability, and generous standard equipment. Its rapid depreciation makes it an excellent value proposition for budget-conscious buyers seeking maximum space and features, provided they are aware of its resale value.
