The Edge is not a long-established model, the first generation appeared in 2007 and was once sold as an import, and the current model is the second generation, using the same CD4 platform as the Mondeo, and increased to 7 seats, produced by Changan Ford.
 
Although the current Edge has 2.7T twin turbo and 2.0T single turbo engines, the 2.7T engine has a zero hundred score of about 7 seconds, even if it is fully loaded with 7 people, it can run into 11 seconds, the power performance is really impressive, but in fact, the price of 2.7T is far beyond the average level of this level, and most of the transaction prices are more than 350,000 yuan, and the sales volume is only a fraction of the 2.0T model.
 
The 2.0T model uses an Ecoboost engine, a twin-scroll single turbo, compared with the old single-scroll turbo engine, the turbo establishes positive pressure for a shorter time, and the maximum torque is advanced to 1750 rpm. In terms of real power performance, the acceleration ability of the Edge 2.0T is slightly better than that of the Highlander 2.0T, but it is inferior to the 1.5T model of Honda Guandao. In terms of fuel economy, it is not as good as the Highlander, with an average fuel consumption of more than 11 liters per 100 kilometers, close to 12 liters.
 
The Ford 6AT has a good performance in terms of smoothness, and the engine's wide torque platform also reduces the requirements of shift logic, which can meet the daily needs of most drivers. The problem is that it may be for the sake of protecting the gearbox, its throttle response is relatively slow, and the shift speed is slow in the 6AT, especially in the process of acceleration, there will be a more obvious power interruption when the 2nd gear shifts to 3rd gear, and it can only be reconnected after the shift is over, which is not so smooth and natural. In terms of gearbox matching, the Edge is not as good as Aisin's 6AT and Japan's CVT in its class.
 
The suspension form of the Edge is a front MacPherson rear multi-link, and the rear suspension uses a lot of aluminum alloy components to reduce the unsprung mass. In the process of driving, the road feeling of the edge is very clear, but the chassis shock filtration has a sense of isolation, creating a feeling of a bit of control fun, but not too disturbing road feeling. The support of the suspension is strong, and the strong anti-roll ability can be felt when cornering and changing lanes, which is indeed stronger than the Highlander.
 
The interior workmanship of the edge is still very Changan Ford's taste, although the materials are more textured, but the assembly process is relatively poor, and it can not withstand the ravages of the years. The car machine adopts the Sync3 system, which is quite easy to operate, the touch control is also in hand, and there is CarPlay interconnection. The storage space in the car is already very practical in its class, but it is difficult to compare with the extreme storage space of the Highlander.
 
In terms of rear seat space, Ruijie has made a fully flat platform, which is not a big problem to sit three adults, with plenty of head and knee space, and enough support for the thighs. The situation in the third row is relatively poor, even if it is some passengers who are not tall, it will not be comfortable to sit in the back, because the platform of the third row of the sharp world is oblique, and the posture of the passengers to put their feet is very awkward, so some people say that the third row of the sharp is a fake third row.
 
Ford's quality has not been very reassuring, has manufactured carnival, Focus and other bug-ridden models, Ford Edge quality record is the same, according to the United States "Consumer Reports" statistics, within five years of the Edge reliability comprehensive evaluation is also poor, more than 8 years old cars may appear gearbox, drive shaft failure, oil leakage problems also occur occasionally. The main problem of the domestic edge appears in the gearbox and body accessories, Ford's set of 6AT will have the problem of shift frustration after a certain number of years, there are many complaints, and the sunroof leakage is a common problem, and the pipeline should be dredged frequently.
 
In the IIHS test, the Ford Edge Early achieved "excellent" results in frontal moderate overlap collisions, side impacts, headrests, and seats, while in more severe frontal small-angle overlap collisions, the Ford Edge scored only "acceptable". By 2019, the small-area offset crash tests of both the main driver and the co-driver were "excellent", and there was significant improvement. Changan Ford Edge participated in the first batch of C-NCAP tests in China in 2016 and received a five-star safety rating with an overall score of 56.5 points.
