Looking for a two-row crossover that will fit your family of five with room to spare and still slot into your garage with ease? Then check out the 2017 Ford Edge. Here's a quick rundown of what we like, what we don't and the bottom line from the Edmunds editors.

JOSH SADLIER: This is automotive editor Josh Sadlier with an Edmunds Expert Rundown of the 2017 Ford Edge. The Edge is kind of an unusual vehicle. It's a mid-size crossover with only two rows. But if you're interested in something with a little extra style and potential a little extra performance, the Edge could hit the spot. In particular, if you get the Sport model, it's got a 2.7-liter twin turbo V6 pumping out a ton of power. It even sounds like a V8. They pump some sound through the speakers to do that for you. The Sport's definitely a trip. But even the regular Edge with the 2-liter turbo, it's a pretty good choice for this class. Step inside the Edge and, again, you're not going to find a third row seat. That's a little surprising these days in a vehicle of this size. But if you only need two rows, the Edge, again, is a compelling proposition, especially given that it's significantly cheaper than a similar luxury vehicle like the Lexus RX. Plenty of room in the back for a couple of tall people. Up front you've got the SYNC 3 infotainment system, which is massively better than the MyFord Touch system it recently replaced. It's one of the best you'll find at this price point. Overall, the Edge gives off a futuristic vibe inside. It's a pretty cool car. There's not much that competes with it. Maybe a Murano, maybe a Grand Cherokee. But the Ford's one of the best. For more Edmunds Expert Rundowns, click the link to subscribe.
The 2017 Ford Edge is a different sort of crossover SUV. It's big, but only has two rows of seats. It's light on off-road pretense, but has a muscular road presence more like a big American sedan of the 1960s. And while it has a rear hatch like a proper SUV, the tail is kind of foreshortened and that limits cargo space. If you want something more family-friendly, Ford will happily put you into a three-row-equipped Explorer instead. If you'd like a smaller crossover, Ford has the Escape. But if you want something with some attitude and heft, here's the Edge.
So think of the Edge as something more personal and expressive than other crossovers. It's wide enough so three adults can sit across the rear seat (it helps if at least one of them is slim) and tall enough so you can wear your top hat inside.
The budget-minded Edge SE comes with a thrifty 245-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four. The nicely trimmed SEL and luxurious Titanium models are available with either the turbo four or an optional 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated 280-hp V6. The Edge Sport, meanwhile, comes with a truly muscular 315-hp twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. All are backed by a six-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is optional.
Front-drive Edge models equipped with the EcoBoost four are EPA-rated at a combined 24 mpg (21 city/29 highway). With all-wheel drive and the 3.5-liter V6, the Edge is rated at 19 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway). Grab the Sport model with the mighty EcoBoost V6 and it's rated identically to the 3.5, but with 1 mpg better in combined mileage at 24 mpg.
The Edge is a compelling choice for the empty-nester with one grandkid, or the single person who likes SUVs but doesn't want to be stigmatized as driving a mommy-mobile. It handles great, the relatively short length makes it easy to park and it can truly rocket when the twin-turbo V6 is under its hood.
Maybe a nearby Ford dealer has exactly the right 2017 Ford Edge already in inventory for you. Or you'd like to order one that's tweaked to your persnickety tastes. Either way, Edmunds is here to make sure you get exactly the Edge you want at a keen price.

Vehicle Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Review Update 12/7/2017: Still loving this car! A joy to drive although the width can be a pain in urban parking lots where they think everybody has a Prius, LOL. Built-in NAV works very well altho you need to keep the Sirius subscription if you want traffic alerts! Sony sound system inferior to Bose but it's okay (believe the 2018 models have dropped the Sony?). Love the quiet, the power, the braking and handling, the comfort (even if seats are still 1.5" too high). Still hate the cupholders, though! Be sure to make the sales rep show you all the hidden storage compartments. One of them we discovered by accident! The Edge Sport is really 2 cars in 1: in everyday driving, it's a well-behaved, reasonably nimble SUV that drives 'smaller' than it really is, due to good handling/braking. Great people and cargo hauler. We ordered 401A (Tech) pkg, Adaptive Cruise Control and Cargo Accessory pkg. Our 2010 Ford Fusion was an "almost" Accord beater--so close, but missed in too many small ways that were irritating. The Edge has corrected all those flaws: precision steering, better braking, much better seats, superior center console design (except for those cupholders; what in the world were they thinking?!?!?). Put it into "D" and drive with confidence, right off the bat. MySync 3 is easy to use, even for non-techies. But....slip it into "S" for Sport handling, and WOWIE !! Clark Kent vanishes and Superman takes his place! The moment your foot touches the accelerator, however gently, you'll feel the immediate difference. The already good handling tightens up and the car takes off like the proverbial rocket (despite hefty size/weight). We flung it around tight corners on back country roads for an hour and had to seriously restrain ourselves! It handles so precisely, so cleanly; that after a short time you forget you are tossing almost 5000 lb. of tall high SUV around and not a 3400 lb. low-slung roadster. Mind you, it's not as amazing as the Mondeo suspension used on the old Ford Contour, but we've driven (and owned) several other SUVs and none of them had this kind of flat-out FUN driveability. This is practicality wrapped around a fine driver's car. There are a few minor flaws: the center console cupholders are in a ridiculous place compared to other Ford models (your elbows run into them while driving). Our car, factory ordered (we did not want a moonroof), has a set of auxiliary headlights not working that the service dept. needs to fix. The cargo cover has an overly complicated close/open design vastly inferior to other mfgs. And.....well, premium gas is recommended, even though it can use regular. But you'll get better performance and (according to some advice from someone who is familiar with Ford turbos) in the long run, better gas mileage as well, by using premium. BTW, far more comfortable than the new Lexus 350, whose seats are now thinner and less cushy. Only real flaws: Dumb cupholder position (should be vertically along passenger side, not horizontal where driver's arm runs into it). Front seat is too high, even at lowest point: are all Ford engineers 6'5" tall with long legs? Fusion had same issue!
