Review Summary of the 2017 Ford Edge

With plenty of power, ample leg room and lots of cargo space
it is obvious why the 2017
Ford Edge is one of the most popular family-friendly SUV crossover’s on the
market.
Powered by a choice of three engines, all of which are paired to a six-speed
automatic transmissions, each Edge model is capable is responsive and
relatively good on gas. This Ford crossover is even capable of towing that
pontoon boat or pop-up camper.
While we could go on and on about this award-winning family
vehicle, we took the liberty of gathering a few thoughts from the experts.
As the experts at Edmunds mention, “the
Edge is a great choice if you want something modern and comfortable. With a
controlled, carlike character the Edge feels like a raised sedan, with a
composed ride, direct steering and little body lean by crossover standards when
going around turns. Even large bumps are soaked up by the forgiving suspension.
We're also impressed with the Edge's low levels of wind and road noise. If you
really want power, the turbocharged 2.7L V6 engine is the way to go, delivering
a serious wallop when your right foot asks for it. It sounds pretty cool, too.”
According to Car
Connection Editorial Director Marty Padgett, the Edge also handles better
than most models in its class. “It's precise and responsive, without feeling
too edgy. It has the relatively precise, reassuring feel that crossovers should
have, and takes a set into corners without fuss. The Edge also frames its
crossover-SUV body in clean, almost austere lines with a warmer interior than
its sheet metal suggests.”
Ranked near the top of US News & World
Report’s top midsize SUV’s, the
2017 Ford Edge is also this publication’s winner of the 2017 Best Two-Row SUV
for Families award. “Due to its combination of space, available family-friendly
features and positive reviews from professional automotive writers in its
class,” the Edge is also one of the safest on the market.
As Padgett also reminds us, the Edge has also produced “top-tier
results in all but the IIHS small-overlap frontal test. It has a special airbag
mounted in the glovebox frame, to help protect passenger knees, and available
rear-seat inflatable seat belts. Bluetooth and a rearview camera are standard
across the board, while available safety features include LED headlamps,
forward-collision warnings, parking assist with perpendicular parking now
factored in, and rear-seat inflatable seat belts.”
Along with comfort, safety and power the Edge is also fun.
With an available Panoramic Vista Roof and a rear fixed skylight, sunny drives
have never been so much fun. This crossover event includes available ambient
lighting, that allows you can set the mood for your drive with the programmable
seven-color ambient light feature.
