The FORD EDGE (2015-18) is a large family SUV, offering a higher driving position and generous space rather than the compact feel of a hatchback. In the UK it sits in the premium-minded end of the mainstream SUV market, competing with models such as the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace. Its bold styling helps it stand out. mycarcheck.com has recorded 6,175 checks of the FORD EDGE (2015-18), covering 2,270 different VINs, a substantial sample of used-car interest. The average private-sale valuation is £16,500, while checked examples average 51,000 miles and 8,000 miles a year. Owners have typically had fewer than two previous keepers, suggesting relatively straightforward ownership histories. Its roomy cabin and relaxed road manners suit families, long-distance drivers and anyone wanting SUV practicality without an oversized vehicle. Against rivals, the Edge is a distinctive, less common choice; compare condition, running costs and equipment before buying.
