2013 Ford Edge Limited Review/Ride Report

FGAR
18/25
And here's our Hurricane Sandy Ride Report! Minor changes for 2013; new paint schemes, new sport mode on gear shifter with +/- transmission rocker selector
Still a dependable rental on the Executive Aisle.

Rented one in the exact same trim and color back in may, was surprised to get a '13 model in may. Nice ride, nice interior, thought myFordTouch was pretty cool but fuel economy was really poor. Only got 20mpg with 75% highway driving.

AWD Limited, no EcoBoost? I think 20 mpg isn't too shabby for such a large vehicle.

Yes AWD Limited. Deep impact blue as well.
Well, Ford claims 18/25 and the my 25% non highway miles were rural with stoplights every couple of miles. Maybe mine was just not worn in but my driving style usually gets me much closer to the claimed highway MPG on these trips.
Had a Murano AWD last weekend where I got about 23 mpg on the same roads. The edge is not a bad car. The interior is very well done in Limited trim but I thought the Edge felt heavier and less nimble than the Murano.

It's funny, I used to remember seeing dozens of Ford Edge Limiteds on ES. Haven't seen as many recently. Depends on location of course, but I've been mainly seeing Escapes, Captivas, Equinoxes, and Terrains (would much prefer an Edge Limited).

An Edge is a FGAR or Fullsize Crossover.

Is the crossover rate priced cheaper than standard SUV? My parent's local airport said they carry a few Edge's and they are rented out as standard SUVs.
