Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The new Kuga is safer and roomier than before. Less fun, but a better family car

Pros
Safer,
more affordable,
more spacious and more convenient than before

Cons
Not as fun as it used to be. It's grown up and got some proper trousers...

The Ford Kuga has recently been facelifted to keep it competitive, but its dashboard still lags behind some rivals.With attractive styling, decent practicality and an impressive safety record, the Kuga is a convincing family SUV. It can't quite match the extremely high all-round standards of some of its latest rivals – the SEAT Ateca in particular – but for the right deal it's worth considering.

PROS
Good value and well equipped
Economical diesel engines
Spacious interior

CONS
Too many buttons inside
Outshone by several rivals
Inferior automatic gearboxes

The 2019 Ford Edge doubles down on safety technology, and on uprated handling with a new ST model.

Pros
Quick steering
Cabin’s muted details
Wide range of engines
Composed ride on small-tire models

Cons
Base seats need better bolsters
Real-world fuel economy is TBD
Very firm ride may strike some as stiff
Cabin’s aging more quickly than the sheet metal

The 2019 Ford Edge ranked #13 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Ford Edge has a score of 8.2 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 26 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Two potent engine options
Spacious cabin
Intuitive infotainment system

Cons
Body leans around corners
Dated infotainment graphics

By:

The 2019 Ford Edge could be a great choice if you're looking for a crossover SUV that's a little nicer than the norm but won't bust your budget. You'd definitely like the way the Edge drives. It's tight and controlled, much like a sedan. Then there's its interior space. While the Edge doesn't have a third row, it does have a larger cargo area and a roomier second row when compared with other crossovers.Refreshed front and rear styling.Eight-speed automatic with rotary shifter.More standard features, including safety and driver assist functions.

Pros
Smooth and comfortable ride quality
Plenty of space for passengers and luggage
Fuel-efficient and performance-oriented engines

Cons
Interior design and control layout are dated and bland
Outward visibility hampered by thick roof pillars and blind spots
