With the Edge, you get an SUV that doesn’t feel dinky, but it isn’t so big that it feels like you’re driving a bus.
The Edge measures 188 inches in length and stands just a shade under 69 inches tall, which exceeds the Escape’s 180 inches in length and 66-inch height by fair margins. True, the Explorer does measure a whopping 198 inches long and stands more than 69 inches tall, but that might just be too big for your purposes.
Bolstering the Edge’s midsize sensibility is an inline-four-cylinder engine, lots of cargo space, and a quiet and spacious cabin—in other words, the perfect ride for a not-at-all awkward Sunday drive with your daughter and her boyfriend. Have fun!
