2024 Ford Edge is Ending Production in April

I always liked the way the Ford Edge drove, though the 2.0T could have used more oomph for its size. The interior was the let down for me. It hung onto design elements that way back to the first generation from 2007 and it felt dated.

This Jelly Bean will not be missed by me.

This thing is way dated by now.  The Ford strategy to cancel minivans and sedans because they can't compete with the Asians now seems to be transferring to crossovers, as Ecosport and Edge are gone and the Escape is next.  Seems like they just want to make Broncos and pickup trucks.

Dated yes, but you have to ride in one to understand why folks buy them. Much like the Ford Flex. They are a comfy ride to get you where you want to go. Used to enjoy the rides in my Aunt’s and a good buddy going places in them. It’s too bad they couldn’t do more with these. At least to me, they will be missed…..

I will have to partially disagree here. The Edge rides okay but I driven several and they are not as comfy a ride as my Flex and it rides on 20” wheels, nevermind the size and cargo capacity difference.

That's the advantage of a longer wheelbase, better ride.  The Flex was another good one, probably the best of the crossovers on this platform.

I would like to add that it is far roomier from shoulder to shoulder when compared to the Edge.

 Was never in them back to back to notice.

I can say with confidence that @surreal1272 is correct. I had a brand new only 14 miles on it as a rental in Kauai for 2 weeks. I could sit comfortably in the front, middle or even get into the 3rd row. I honestly was shocked at how roomy the Flex was. Shame it is gone as that was an outstanding comfy auto.

I test drove a 2018 Edge back in 2021. Literally pulled up in the Flex (was checking it out for a friend). No bias here but the Flex is larger in every way, inside and out, and the longer wheelbase does make for a smoother ride. And yes @David, tons of rear seat legroom too. I like my box on wheels lol.

Different strokes. My sister liked her Edge until she killed it.  She wouldn't have wanted to go larger and ended up downsizing to a current-generation Terrain. Now she thinks the Terrain is the perfect size.

I get it. The Edge wasn't bad, by any means. It's a little quicker and "nimbler" since it's smaller while using the same powertrain and tranny as the Flex but it falls short on the versatility/cargo front compared to the Flex. It is all about needs though so I get the size factor for some folks..
