2007 Ford Edge Review Summary & Specs
SE Sport Utility
All-new crossover utility vehicle on the cutting edge.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
There's no denying that the Ford Edge is a striking vehicle. Some might criticize it for not having three rows of seats but that fact makes for a much more practical and pleasant five-seater. The Edge is a far more efficient all-round vehicle than traditional SUVs. Opt for all-wheel drive and you've got a great all-year-round car as well.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent John Rettie test drove the Ford Edge in and around San Francisco.
