Cons Uneven interior build quality, disappointing fuel economy, a tight third row and cargo hold.

PROS Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any kind of driving situation Quick acceleration from the optional V6 engine Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance Modern onboard technology keeps you connected
CONS Not many places to store small items Some rival crossovers have more cargo and third-row space Cabin isn't particularly luxurious, even in the priciest trim levels
You don't have to buy a three-row crossover just to get a roomy interior. Take the 2017 Ford Edge, for instance. It'll fit your family of five with room to spare and still fit into your garage with ease. It also boasts the latest technology, a smooth ride and a wide range of engines. The 2017 Ford Edge is essentially unchanged from last year.
Pros Ride quality is smoother than many of its competitors Plenty of space for passengers and luggage Fuel-efficient and performance-oriented engines Many available tech and luxury features.
Cons Base engine may be too sluggish for some drivers Transmission is occasionally slow to react.

The Ford Edge was nothing a decade ago--it literally didn't exist until 2007. In just 10 years, it's become one of Ford's big hits, splitting the crossover lineup down the middle and giving well-heeled shoppers a way to spend almost fifty grand on a Ford that doesn't have a payload rating.
Pros Precise steering Focused Sport model Nicely detailed cabin Improved EcoBoost engine lineup
Cons No third-row seat Flat seat cushions Real-world mpg concerns
