The use of space and thoughtful interior design is also a strong point. The second-row 60/40-split reclining seats can be folded to make a level load floor. And with the front passenger seat also folded, an Edge can accommodate items up to 8 feet long. The rear seats can be folded using a one-hand manual release or an automatic remote release that's accessible from the cargo area.
The front console is designed to hold a laptop computer and there's also an MP3-player jack. Front door map pockets contain 20-ounce cupholders and there's what Ford calls "super-size" cupholders in both the console and rear armrest.
Used Ford Edge SE models can also be found with the optional heated front seats, as can SEL models with Ford's panoramic Vista Roof (a sliding glass sunroof over the front seats and a fixed rear panel). Other options found in used SEL models include navigation, a DVD entertainment system, leather upholstery, and 18 inch wheels.
Competition for the Ford Edge comes from the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Saturn Outlook and Nissan Murano. The Lincoln MKX is also a luxury-trimmed version of the Edge.
