4 Reasons Drivers Love the 2020 Ford Edge

The new 2020 Ford Edge comes as a tech-heavy and comfy crossover SUV. It nestles in a highly contested sweet spot: between compact and midsize. It has decent power, impressive technology, excellent steering, and offers a quiet, comfortable ride. The Edge boasts nimble handling and spry acceleration that gives it a competitive edge against many class rivals. Below are a few features that most drivers love about the new Ford Edge.

1. Spacious Storage
The Edge’s cabin is plenty spacious to accommodate four adults and fit the average family’s storage needs. The materials are nicely chosen, with a clean and simple interior design. Rear seats can be folded down to increase cargo space. Though its competitors closely match in cargo room, the Edge’s roomier cabin and well-articulated storage cubbies put it on the forefront.

2. Ford Exterior
The Edge’s exterior exemplifies what drivers should expect of a modern-day SUV. Every model comes fitted with high beam automatic headlights, a large chrome grille, LED taillights, and LED daytime running lights. Fog lights are only available on the upper SEL and Titanium trims.

The rocker-panel cladding and the black plastic lower front fascia bring some ruggedness to it, while the silver roof rack available on upper trims introduces a hint of utility. Though some exterior colors have been discontinued in the new Edge, a few more have been introduced- Desert Gold, Dark Persian Green, Rapid Red Metallic, among others.

3. Impressive Performance
The Edge responds quickly to driver inputs, thanks to its 2.0-liter turbo-four engine. The engine produces 250 hp and a desirable 275 lb-ft of torque. The AWD models accelerate from 0-60mph in about 6.8 seconds: a respectable score in the segment.

Drivers looking for a livelier and more capable performance should opt for the Ford Edge ST trim, which 0-60 is a quick affair, taking around 5.6 seconds. The standard eight-speed gearbox offers a smooth and accurate ride.

4. Tech-Heavy Infotainment System
The Ford Edge’s standard infotainment system is one of the best in the segment lineup. All edge models have full smartphone integration and feature an 8-inch touch screen, a six-speaker stereo, Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a WIFI hotspot, and satellite radio.

Many standard features available at the entry-level can only be found in competitors’ upper trims. The base model, Edge SE, is equipped with a push-start button, dual-zone climate control, day and night rearview mirror, and ten-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. The models are further fitted with cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, reverse sensing system, pre-collision assist, and forward-collision warning.

The new Ford Edge is a brilliant all-rounder and a top pick crossover SUV for many drivers. It combines impressive performance with daily practicality and passenger comfort.
