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 Audi Q5 and BMW X3 at a significantly lower price point. Originally intended for the North American market, it was introduced to the UK in 2016 but struggled for sales, leading to discontinuation at the end of 2019. Despite this, it remains an excellent value proposition, delivering an imposing presence on the road with a cavernous interior featuring exceptional leg, headroom, and shoulder room. The 602-litre boot expands to 1,688 litres with the rear seats folded, whilst thoughtful touches like padded rear seat belts and extensive storage compartments enhance practicality.

The Edge excels as a refined long-distance cruiser, with smooth diesel engines and responsive gearboxes that prioritise comfort over dynamism. All versions come well-equipped with dual-zone climate control, a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, parking sensors, and a rearview camera as standard. Later models benefit from an eight-speed automatic gearbox, matrix LED headlights, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. Fuel economy reaches up to 42.4mpg on official figures, whilst servicing costs are competitive through Ford's dealer network. As a used purchase at the right price point, the Edge represents exceptional value for families seeking spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped transport.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped SUV; long-distance drivers prioritising refinement and ease of use; and budget-conscious buyers wanting premium-level space without the premium badge price tag.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking sharp handling or driving dynamism; those concerned about rapid depreciation; or buyers requiring maximum fuel efficiency in a large SUV.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Edge if: You're seeking a spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped SUV; prioritising long-distance refinement and ease of use; or wanting premium-level space without the premium badge price tag.

Consider alternatives if: You desire sharp handling or driving dynamism, are concerned about rapid depreciation, or require maximum fuel efficiency in a large SUV.

Competitive Position: The Ford Edge (2016-2020) stands out in the premium SUV segment by delivering exceptional space and equipment at a significantly lower cost than German rivals. Whilst the BMW X3 offers superior driving dynamics and the Volkswagen Touareg boasts the highest user satisfaction, the Edge provides outstanding value for families prioritising comfort, practicality, and long-distance refinement. Its rapid depreciation means savvy buyers can acquire a well-equipped, spacious family SUV at a fraction of its original price, making it an excellent choice for those willing to overlook its less dynamic handling characteristics in favour of genuine usability and comfort.
