Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Ford hit a home run with the Edge's exterior, which features modern styling that sets it apart from more traditional boxy SUVs.

  • "By resisting the urge to add even a small, 'just in case' third-row seat, Ford's designers were able to give the Edge the sleeker, sportier profile that helps set it apart from the crowd." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "The Fusion's styling has grown on me (except for the shiny taillights), and to me the Edge is better still. The taillight treatment doesn't bother me as much, but the rear looks a little like a minivan's. (I know: Ouch.)" -- Cars.com
  • "The Edge has striking looks. Its round nose, sloping windshield and tapered roofline contribute to a profile that looks honed by the wind. Large fender flares look like powerful haunches." -- Kansas City Star
  • "The Ford Edge has a sporty stance, sleek lines, and a crisp accent that combines good looks and great performance. All this beauty starts in the front, at the Ford three-bar chrome grille and quad-beam halogen headlamps." -- Epoch Times
