2015 Ford Edge Titanium

The Edge is Ford's five-seat midsize crossover, a step up from the Escape and a common pick for families who want more room without moving to a three-row SUV. It drives with a planted, confident feel, and the steering is nicely weighted, so it's easy to place on the road. The ride is smooth and well controlled, and the front seats are supportive, which makes long trips easy. Inside, there's generous space for four adults, and the rear seat fits three car seats across without a fight. Stepping up to the Titanium adds leather upholstery, a larger touchscreen, and power-adjustable front seats, giving it a noticeably more premium feel than the SEL. The Titanium’s standard 3.5L V6 pairs with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which provides ample power for highway merging and steady footing in rain or snow; it’s rated at 20 mpg combined. The Titanium can be ordered with a panoramic sunroof that opens the cabin nicely, though it does eat into headroom for taller passengers.
