2020 Ford Edge Review

Name: 2020 Ford Edge Review
Brand: Ford

Price Range: $11,775 - $32,998

With a spacious cabin, expansive cargo capacity and strong Sync 3 infotainment system, the 2020 Edge has a lot to offer midsize-SUV shoppers. Some may find the ride a bit jittery, and the cabin fit-and-finish on higher trim levels doesn't quite match the near-luxury price, but overall the Edge is a well-executed car that earns its place among the top mainstream SUVs.

I'd give the car a 4.5 out of 5

2020 Ford Edge SEL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

We purchased our 2020 Edge SEL new. It now has 2,000 miles on the clock. It's an overall great car. I don't suppose any car is totally perfect, so here are my cons: 1. The brake pedal sits too low to the floor which makes it unable to stretch out your limbs on a long trip. 2. Ford made a weird hump where your left foot rests; very uncomfortable 3. Your right knee, at least in my …

2020 Ford Edge SEL 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I own a white 2020 Ford Edge SEL FWD with several upgraded packages like cold weather, electronics, and safety. Previous vehicle was a 2016 Ford F-150. I also own a 2020 Ford Explorer which is AMAZING! Best vehicle I've ever been in! It suites my wife's needs better than mine though. I research major purchase like it's the only thing going on in my life at the time. After reading …

2020 Ford Edge ST 4dr SUV AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

This ST replaces our 2018 3.5 Edge Titanium and offers a huge improvement in highway performance over previous versions. The 335 HP 2.7 V6 isn't inexpensive, but it sets the ST apart from the rest of the ho-hum middle size & price range crossovers that continue to grow in size but not in power (unless you go electric). The previous incarnation with the 3.5 strained on long grades at … speeds much above 65, often downshifting and screaming at over 4,000 RPM to maintain speed while in cruise control. This one breezes along with ease and while it produces an additional 55 HP over the 3.5, it actually gets a couple of more MPG in the process - a nice plus given the ridiculously small 18 gallon gas tank. Comfort in the ST seats is also an improvement over the Titanium it replaced. Better side support and seats that seem to produce more heat when activated. One of the main reasons we stuck with another Edge was the simplicity of using the Sync system and the fact the infotainment system hasn't been relocated to extend above the dash in the center stack. Large center screens that look like ipads glued to the top of the dash continue to be a non-starter in our household, automatically eliminating a lot of otherwise decent vehicles. Other improvements include the adaptive headlamps - they seem to illuminate the road much better than any previous Edge we've owned (this is our 4th one), easy to use and non-obtrusive round gear selector that takes up less of the center console, and the new Ford Pass app that connects your car's functions with your phone. Minuses include a more difficult to access foot operated tailgate, the loss of the covered storage area on top of the dash, and a ridiculous tray inside the center console that requires complete removal in order to access the large compartment below - the very first thing we did was pitch that!! Overall a pleasant and quick ride, but the $50K price tag is a bit hard to swallow. Resale is only so-so, but we love our Ford dealer and the car fits our needs better than the competition. No real savings in leasing this model, so we went with a purchase. Reliability on the last six Ford's we've owned has been better than average, with only a couple of overnight service stays required in total, but loaners were supplied in both cases. If you're not willing to pony up the extra bucks for the ST with the V6, look at something else, as every other Edge model is now only available with the puny 2.0 4 cyl. engine that only gets a couple of more MPG at the expense of being infuriatingly sluggish at highway speeds.

Great SUV

2020 Ford Edge Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I would recommend the AWD over FWD, the car just drives a lot better. The car is comfortable smooth and roomy for passengers. The interior is one of the best of any SUV, it gives the feel of a luxury car without the luxury price.
