The 2018 Ford Edge gets only modest this year. The new SEL Sport Appearance Package adds tinted headlights, metallic front grille, rear spoiler, skid plates, plus 19-inch Magnetic-painted wheels. Inside now offers Mayan Gray premium cloth seats with Miko suede inserts and unique floor mats. SEL, Sport, and Titanium models can now be ordered with Safe and Smart Package that includes adaptive cruise control, collision warning and other safety tech.

The Edge is best compared to the Nissan Murano, the Kia Sorento and the Chevrolet Equinox. The Ford offers a more powerful set of powertrain options as well as better competitive fuel economy. Passenger volume, rear legroom and cargo capacity in the Edge are among the best in the category.
