Ford Edge SUV in-depth review - Carbuyer

The Ford Edge is a big, brash and bold American-style SUV just launched in the UK. Does it have what it takes to beat premium rivals like the Jaguar F-Pace and Mercedes GLC – and is it practical enough to see off family favourites like the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Kia Sorento? We find out.

Who need space for a 2 liter bottle in the door, it's a SUV, not a firetruck?

What's with the obsession of carrying gallons of water around.

We had a brand new one exactly the same as this in 2017, we still have it. We upgraded from a Kuga when our 3rd child came along. We have looked into changing it, but nothing around impresses. It has electric everything, has been 100% reliable and is still unmarked. It’s beautiful to drive, quiet, comfortable and the huge boot has come in handy on holidays. 💯

I totally love this camp reviewer. he's so exagerrated and makes me smile with every grimace he makes. he's so cute and I feel as if I was watching Little Britain. please keep up the good work. and never change!!!

I saw one in Belgium last weekend and in real life it looks very nice. Especially the Electric spice color which was the one it had.

Love this car, looks great - why do all reviewers complain about the boot opening slowly? Can you imagine the potential for danger if a boot lid flew open at high speed?

[RobMotive]

Nice review. Thought about getting one of these my self.

I can't imagine there are many people here in the states who are cross shopping the Edge with anything from Mercedes or Jaguar. That in itself is high praise indeed.

3:07 if the wind caught that door... it would take the lower part of your leg off.

I don't agree with you on the interior. I'm not a fan of Mercedes interiors so the Edge interior design is much better, for me.

[picklesrule]

I quite like the chunky look on this car

[AdamAus]

Next to the fusion, probably one of the better looking Fords around at the moment.

It's so annoying listening to them complain about electric boot doors being slow in every single video

[flyme]

Had one of these several times as a hire car when I’m the US, just a shame they don’t offer it with the 6 cylinder engine as is almost standard in the US

[kofetus]

the price for this is just insane... 37K for a Ford???
Skoda Kodiaq is coming starting at around 23K and up to 34K for a full spec model. Same size as this Ford, cheaper and with 7 seats... C'mon Ford!

[shaundoherty]

I’ve got a kuga and want to upgrade to an edge. Where’s the best place to get one

[Alans]

Great video as always James although I do think you should have gave mention to the mpg figures of this one and the higher powered one. Not that it matters much in a car that big of course. Just with you saying it was a bit gutless. Great review though.

[mjames]

Still don't understand why Ford named the "Escape" as "Kuga".. nothing wrong with Escape

[arnoldtabor]

Its a shame ford haven't brought the Lincoln brand over here
