Good SUV

2020 Ford Edge Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

Purchased in March 2021, I have put about 2,000 miles on the car. This is my 4th Edge, but my first ecoboost engine. This time around I decided to test drive competitors, but decided I still preferred the Edge. I have been pleased with the vehicle. As with the others the strongest points continue to be the very quiet cabin and solid ride. It also straddles my need for a vehicle that I can commute 60 miles a day in but transitions to family duty on the weekends. It’s not too big but there is plenty of storage. That said I am not in love with the engine/transmission pairing versus the V6 six speed. Particularly in town, the transmission can struggle to find the right gear which can impede on the ride quality. I don’t notice any difference on the highway. So far the ecoboost is only doing 1 mpg better than the V6, hopefully that improves. However I am getting used to the transmission and find that my driving habits are changing to accommodate. Overall I continue to recommend the Edge and am satisfied with my purchase. Update October 2021 I have put approx. 7,000 miles on this vehicle. I am getting about 1.2 mpg better than my previous V6 Edge. I get 25.4 mpg which is composed 50% highway and 50% in town miles. High point is still the quiet cabin, and lots of storage (with a small footprint) low point is still the lazy transmission. I would still recommend the vehicle.

Traded My 2017 For 2020

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

I had a 2017 Titanium model that I absolutely loved. The mileage was getting a little high, so I traded it in for the 2020 version. I think the old one may have been a little more comfortable, but the tech upgrades and better fuel efficiency balances that out easily. I love the new headlight system on the new one and can see much better at night. Glad I made the trade for the 2020.

2021 Edge

2021 Ford Edge SE 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

We are very pleased with our 2021 Ford Edge SE. The 2.0 liter twin turbo engine provides plenty of acceleration and performance. The interior is well appointed; for the SE model. Took a little bit to get used to controlling everything from the touch screen; second nature at this point. Seating is comfortable. The vehicle rides well and the cabin is quiet at highway speeds. I am 6'5" tall and have plenty of leg room on the drivers side and passenger side. There is adequate leg room in the back seat. Cargo provides a lot of space for luggage, groceries, etc. and is easily accessible. Don't like that there is not a CD player; had to put all of my music on a digital format. Would like for there to have been more USB ports. Ford Co-Pilot 360™ is a great system and performs as advertised. I think that I'm getting close to 30mpg at highway speeds. The 2021 Ford Edge SE has exceeded our expectations. UPDATE: I think that it's a very capable vehicle for the money. Plenty of passenger and cargo space. Comfortable seating. HVAC performs very well. Quiet cabin on the highway. Having all of the accessory, phone and audio controls on the touch screen took some getting used to. Handles very well. Co-Pilot Assist perfoms flawlessly. The 2.0 liter twin turbo EcoBoost provides more than ample power and performance with good gas mileage. The 18 gallon fuel tank provides a bit more miles per tank when crusing. The lane change warning is a bit annoying so I drive with it disabled. The ability to turn off the auto start/stop is a great feature. Lots of big windows provide good visibility all around. Handles well in all weather conditions. An all around great vehicle.

Exceptional Car with Incredible Handling

2020 Ford Edge ST 4dr SUV AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

We currently own a 2013 Edge Sport which I love, but the steering and overall “feel” of the ‘13 is a bit on the heavy side so my wife isn’t crazy about driving it. We recently test drove the 2020 Edge, and WOW - it’s absolutely amazing the changes and advances Ford has made over the last eight years...where the 2013 drives like a plush riding truck, the 2020 Edge ST drives like a sports car ...the new 2.7 V6 is incredible - this car is FAST with dazzling acceleration, and the suspension is fantastic. We have a cabin in Big Bear California, and the drive up the mountain roads is always fun but challenging...our ‘13 has a bit softer suspension so when taking the hairpin turns I usually have to slow down to 35-40 mph max. to keep the car level, pushing it past that speed creates a bit of body lean...in our new 2020, in pushing the car into these turns at 60 mph and again, WOW - no body lean whatsoever - this change in the handling is so dramatic, it inspires confidence that this new Edge can do anything you ask it to do. As far as longevity - only time will tell, but so far, we LOVE this car! Kudos to Ford for transforming the Edge from a plush, comfortable SUV to a plush, comfortable CROSSOVER that takes advantage of all the new technologies that have become available to the consumer over the last eight years..BTW obe major change: no more INTERNAL WATER PUMP like the 2007-2014 model - a potentially horrible design flaw which all Edge owners are aware of and one of the worst design blunders in automotive history...the new 2.7 V6 has a nice old fashioned bolt on water pump! If you’re in the market for a newer SUV, highly recommend test driving the new Edge!

Purchased a 2020 Edge new..Used it a year putting 86000 miles on it all highway miles..Took it to the dealer to diagnose a coolant leak. The result was the engine is leaking coolant on the head as I was told and needs an engine replaced. Cost i was told 8000 to 9000.Never will touch a Ford suv again.The dealer told me Ford knows about the problem and would replace the motor if I had under 60000 miles.
