- The Ford Edge is an all-American SUV that's recently gone on sale in the UK for the very first time. It's huge and rivals cars such as the Jaguar F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery Sport - but can it outdo both cars in terms of value for money? There's no doubting the Ford Edge has incredible road presence and bold looks, but does its interior suffer from quantity over quality? There's a lot of room in there, but is it all a bit low-tech? Find out as I share all my thoughts on the Ford Edge in this 4k video review.

This car's day time running lights are among the best ive seen
Midsize crossover in the US. "Big beast of a SUV" in UK.
Well I must say that we are so sorry for having smaller cars in the uk and I hope you can except this ever so sincere apology!
Fat Brit means 20 stone, fat Yank means 500lbs....so yes everything in comparison 🙄
A Midsized suv in most of the world would be the Ford Escape, Subaru Forester, Kia Sportage, Mazda Cx-5
I'd love to see his review of a Ford Excursion 😂
"... Why didn't Ford make it a 7-seater" ?? Well, why would anyone compromise the giant boot for 2 barely usable seats :(
sebxx check out the Explorer
The Explorer is bigger
Explorer is bigger that's why it can accomodate more seats.
sebxx the only reason I want a SUV Is the massive storage in the trunk. I'm so glad it's not a seven seater since I'm just getting my first car and I'll never have more than 3 people in my car at the same time probably.
Here in the colonies, Ford has several hatchbacks, CUVs and SUVs ranging from the tiny Fiesta to the MASSIVE Expedition L. So the Edge doesn't need a 3 row in order to compete.
6:13 cheeky Clarkson impression?
tavi921 yup!
I really love your reviews... For a a person like me I really don't get anything about cars except that I want a fast car with economical fuel consumption 😁 I really appreciate that you go in details and show the pros and cons of each and every car you review 😍❤️
I drove all of these, in fact I more or less live with one of these during my year in the United States, amazing vehicle loved every minute with it
I really love your reviews. They’re so honest and realistic. I think I’m going to subscribe.
thank you for the complete and full list of all advantages and disadvantages. really great video and great info.
In the US these are significantly cheaper than the cars you are comparing them too. American made cars are never priced well in the EU due to high import tariffs on vehicles.
Lathan Starnes actually it's due to European cars in your country costing more, the best selling car is a fiesta and that sells well and is priced even cheaper then the German equivalent, only slightly though
Chatta290 European Vehicle import tariffs are 8 times higher than the equivalent American import tariffs as reported by the European Commission in section 2.2 of the "Reducing Transatlantic Barriers to Trade and Investment". European cars are competitively priced in the US.
Chatta290 Also, Fiestas are made in Europe, and therefore not subject to import tariffs. I was obviously refering to vehicles made in the USA.
Lathan Starnes Nissans and Kia cars are extremely cheap and they will be subject to the same taxation though so why arent there vehicles much more. i guess its just like how the range rover is less in dollars in america which is extremely crazy to think surely it would be higher but oh well
Chatta290 Because Nissans are made in Europe, and the EU has a free trade agreement with South Korea. A lot of European nations heavily tax cars based on CO2 emissions and engine displacement, America has no such taxes.
If you Brits think that's a big American Ford, then you've never seen the Expedition
The Excursion, you mean? ;)
@domspar what about the excursion? U forget that one
Excursion was even bigger :O
Lmao the Expedition is just a tiny bit bigger than the Hummer H3 (aka the baby Hummer) If you want a big American car it's going to be the H2 or H1.
D T The Expedition is WAY bigger than the H3. The H3 was built on the old Chevy Colorado chassis, a compact pickup barely bigger than a Ranger and smaller than an F150.
This is a small to medium SUV in the U.S. it's not very big compared to most cars we drive. We also get the 2.0T I4, 3.5 V6, and 2.7TT V6 no diesels here. Our interior also looks a bit different plus sync 3.
thats great for you id buy a Mustang V8 coup for 33000 dollars if i lived in usa here in europe 33000 dollars would get u a shitbox
here in my country $33k gets you a top spec corolla/mid spec jetta/octavia.
yah so like the rest of europe
nah, cars are pretty cheap in europe
Rytis Kurcinskas isn't the mustang in Europe now
The things at the back of the car labeled L and R are marked as such so if you remove them it'll be easy to figure out which goes where. They're both kind of shaped similarly so people might get confused. But that it's really hard though because you'd have to be pretty dumb not to figure it out quickly, but still, it's a nice touch.
I love the banter in these videos... keep it up!!
Well, I have been waiting to buy and test my Ford Edge before I write a comment on this video. I understand that very few people will reatd this comment as it is postdated, but I had to write it anyway as a tribute to fairness. Some of what you are saying make sense Mat, but some aren't. I bought a Ford Edge 2019, ST with 55.000 kilometers for 25.400 without VAT from Germany. Please notice the price for a secondhand car in comparison with equivalent German brands that you seem to refer to Also, notice that this car is fully equipped for that price. Now let's be fair here, can we?? Further, let's continue with some negatives you are attributing to this car. First, the infotainment system. The car you have tested (2018) is equipped with Sync 2. Indeed, it is slow and not good, you are right. However, cars already as of 2017 and onwards are equipped with Sync 3, which is not top notch if you compare it with other premium and even not so premium brands, but it is way better than Sync 2 that you have tested. In fact, if functionality is what we are talking about and not strange lights and unnecessary functions, one could argue that this is great. American reviewers seem to think so and they know about infotainments. So, it is a very good infotainment and way better than Sync 2. You didn't mention that there is that option, Sync 3, that is. I told you, let's be fair. So, you are saying that you can mix it in terms of ride quality and relaxation with top German rivals. Well, I endorse this. It is an excellent car to drive, a real tank! You are saying that there is a big minus to the luck of engine choices. Well, if you find the one offered satisfactory, why would this be a minus? I find the 238 bhp and 500 nm of torque two litter biturbo diesel an excellent choice. BTW you have tested the previous model with 210 bhp and 450 nm of torque which had 6 speed automatic gearbox instead of the 238 bhp with 8 speed automatic of the 2019 model that I have bought. None of this is too important though. Cars evolve, and even the one you have tested was a good engine. Bottom line: I don't care if there are no other engine options as this one is indeed excellent, so it is not a negative to me. Noisy sunscreen blind? Come on Mat! Left and right marking in the storage a really negative point and a notion of stupidity? Give me a break! This car is excellent for it's price, especially as a secondhand. Actually, one of the very few such bargains in the market. Excellent ride quality, reasonable consumption, full extra, lane assist with steering adjustment, automatic cruise control, speed sign recognition and automatic adjustment of the Cruise control accordingly, 360 sensors, matrix lights, front camera with 180 option, it even parks alone for God's sake. And I haven't even mentioned but very few of the car's equipment. Do you know how much these extras would cost in what you call "premium German brand"? Why do you forget to say that it comes full extra at the price? Isn't it important? And on top of everything it really turns heads, because it's stunning. I do like your style and I laugh a lot with your spirit and jokes, but to put things straight, you have been unfair mate! Good that I didn't pay attention to your review, made my own research and have finally bought it. Guys, please read the owner's reviews. They know better as they live with the cars. This saved me.
My issue with a car this size is parking. Kuga is perfect size but a tad small for seats up boot space. Edge looks like a good upgrade but size should have always live sensors all round and rear parking camera. Over 30mpg is good for any SUV near 2 tons.
Nice Clarkson reference there...;)
"in the world!!!"
i love my edge, got all camping gear in it ,that used to fit in a ranger.
Is there a Toyota C-HR review coming soon??
FINALLY I WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS REVIEW by you Matt, not those silly people at carbuyer cheers Matt
The Explorer & the Maverick/Escape were both imported from the USA to UK & Europe.....and Ford Anglias & Cortinas were exported to The USA in the 60s.... And first 2 gens of German built Ford Capris were sold in North America! To mention just a few
The Sport version looks really good!
TheGorbaa I have the sport and I absolutely love it! ❤️
Matt thanks 4 the review. 2u wich one is better: Edge or CX-5?
Hey buddy this is my car, I didnt know you did a review on it, its a great car!
easter-eggs are the reason carwow is special. Keep it up&subtle. Good job as always.
This guy is really funny. He should have his own show! I love him!
can we have 1 review to a Ford Ecosport pls!
It's made in Canada, actually.
Don't tell them that!
Portgas D. Ace No. Canada is in North America.
Jerome Seguin
America, North America, the Americas. It's not that hard to distinguish. Saying Canada is in America is like saying the UK is in Greater Asia.
America is a country (USA). North America is a continent which consist of Canada, USA, and Mexico.
splitting hairs
ford edge is a really good car
I am not getting, how did you upload a 2018 Ford video review in 2016?
We want the Ford Kuga, Mat!!!!
Manual handling courses included Mat on car wow 😎
How good is the auto/ powershift box on Fords? Is it slick like BMW/MINI 8 speed box or slow revvy and clunky like older autos?
It's like the older ones in this car. The powershift is like a windmill, the problem is that it's churning itself.
You guys get stuck with Sync 2?!? I bought my Edge in April of 2016 and got Sync 3, I could never buy the Edge with Sync 2.
Rather buy the sport is there much difference?
gary savage yes I have a black 2017 sport model with adaptive led headlights and sync 3 - I love it and I'm a diehard car / motorbike guy
Matt, it would be nice if you show us how much force you need to use to stop boot door closing because of children security.
@3:15 - the bit you tap is a leather wrapped padded door insert... which covers all of the upper door. In the Vignale it's all leather... how is it cheap?
The front lights and they way it gets wider lower down is very similar to the new Discovery.
It took me about a minute and a half to understand what you were talking about in the begging pf the video. I just thought that you should have put a photo of The Edge in the storage compartment and then I realized you have already mentioned him 😝
Pls do a review for Ford Edge 2018. Thanks Matt
Is it 2018 or did you just rename it for views hmmm?
I don't like the idea of sharing models with the US. Can you imagine a Ford Crown Vic on UK roads lol
VolvoXC90TV imagine a ford KA in the US
John Kyon oh god haha
VolvoXC90TV That'd literally be my dream come true! pity they don't make them anymore.
No Crown Victoria anymore. It's shacked up in the next life with a Chevy Caprice.
Jacob Woods The Taurus did not replace the crown vic, there was no successor to the crown vic
I love it when Jim goes in depth, very edgy!
Hi mat, any chance you could do a review on the new ford Kuga?
Do rear seats slide or remove to increase boot capacity like Skodas?
It's a hard car to get excited about expecially with that price tag, could get a decent European car for the same money.
You would never get a European SUV that is the same size for the same money. The Q5 would be the nearest european equivalent and it starts at £40,000 (you may get a deal).
ANd if you take a european SUV that is the same size and equipment it will cost an extra few thousand so it could be about 30% more in cost.
Lexus RX which is the same size starts at about £48,000 (no extras needed).
I would say the best match you will find to the Ford edge would be the Mazda CX5 at £25,000 but will not be as good off road.
Land Rover discovery would be a good alternative but would not be as good to drive the road or as reliable. The Ford edge also has an amazing looking exterior for the price and looks very aggressive.
@@bighands69 The nearest competitor is not European. It's Hyundai Santa Fe. It gives you as much space and comfort in the second row as Audi Q7, but is nearly 3x cheaper (when we talk about fully equipped versions).
I have it and every day I discover new hidden features. Do you know that you can program 3rd key directly with the help of car? Or do you know you can start the engine with the dead battery of the key? Do you know holding unlock button long enough makes down all the windows?
How much did it cost you and how much does it cost now? You think it's worth the buy?
@@chinonsostanley771 Definitely, really good car. still enjoying
Hello Mat Watson- Will you make a review on Chevrolet bolt EV the world's most advanced electric car.
Hey Matt, in this video you show your GPS position which I swear is somewhere very near my flat in Yiewsley. In another video, you showed that you were actually staying in a hotel right next to my house in France (just behind my fence). spooky!
Please do a review on the 2017 Nissan Murano.
didnt see the continuity error you mentioned
maybe to do with the hat he was wearing in the beggining but am not sure
Had to look hard - the colour of the front and rear number plates are different.
Saile Ronoh this is the case in all uk cars...
Could it be the cameraman in the window reflection at 0.44?
I think he refers to his disappearing beanie :)
For the base price of a Ford Edge you can get a basically fully loaded Skoda Kodiaq, which does have a third row of seats should you need them. The interior quality is pretty much the same, and in the driving aspect, let's be honest, nobody is buying these cars as substitute for a 911.
The Skoda does not look as good in the exterior nor would it be as good off road. Fords AWD system in my opinion would be better than the VW equivalent.
The interior of both cars are about the same to be honest. Now Ford does offer better trim levels than Skoda but you will pay for them.
They are both nice cars to be honest.
I miss my Edge sport🥺🥺
I am waiting for Ford Kuga review!!
does the Vignale version come with better plastics as well as nicer upholstery?
Yes. It also comes at a similar price to Touareg or Grand Cherokee.
Actually it's built in Canada (Oakville, Ontario) but we're splitting hairs I guess.
wr70beh nope us
When is the skoda kodiaq
hi mat, could u do a review about the edge vignale? thx
Do a review on the VW Sharan.
thats the old sync 2 infotainment system, most fords are getting the new sync 3, which is way way better, shame my focus has sync 2...no upgrade option as it requires a completely new screen :(
If you want four wheel drive on the Ford Edge you’ve either gotta have the ST-Line or the Vignale.
Every video comic with mat watson
Does it have the edge to its rivals?
its basically an americanised ford s-max
stupid twat, did you not know Ford is an American company?
Twinkle Baby
why hairy?
You do realise they have an cars that are designed and built by the Europeans right?
canadianise you dumb arse it's from ontario.
canada is part of north america......
Love you from India ford car owner🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍
I recommend this video and I recommend this car.
0:10 someone didn’t silence their phone😏😂
Sat in a £41k Vignale version of this today and I really wish I could afford one.
Two fingers of head Clarence in this “loads of headroom” two fingers of head clearance in the Hyundai Tucson “it’s a bit cramped”
Matt, you need to make THE pause longer ;)
Fran Postenjak for what?
With Clakrson impersonation
Hi Chatta290 I am not saying it is as good as a Toureg but it is the same dimensions, albeit lighter by 170kg. Crucially they are both only 5 seaters and both fall behind other premium brands. The Volvo XC90 is a much better car than both but it is now nearly £50k if you put in a couple of decent options. It is a weird thing that quite a fewcar makers have had 7 seats in the mid price model (Tiguan, Disco) but only 5 seats in their luxury model (Toureg, Range Rover historically). So it is not just Ford who are quirky.
Het Mat what car do you drive?
US Fords got the new non-Microsoft Synch 3 already in 2016. What's with this UK 2017 doing with Synch 2?
emjayay the uk 2017 does have sync3! This is just a 'new' review of an old 2016 spec car!!
premium interior and qulity
if this launch in india ?
LOL
I love your sense of humour.
you should definitely try standup comedy.
Uk gets 2 diesel engines. Here in the u.s we get 3 gas engines. Im sure you would have loved the 2.7 ecoboost sport model. 315 hp
I have a 2016 eco boost 2 ltr Edge, its giving a squeaky noise when driven. The squeaky noise is intermittent. I have taken it to the dealership at least 5 times and they have not been able to find the cause nor the area from where it’s coming. They say they cannot do anything about it and gave the car to me. I really feel bad about this experience and inefficiency . The squeaky sound takes away the driving pleasure. Is there any way to fix this ?
That sounds very Ford. They are truly built rough. Won't even paint the calipers?!
The Ford Edge is assembled in Oakville Ontario CANADA !
2 litre diesel in that enormous lump? I was expecting and hoping for a mustang V8 in that huge bonnet (hood?).
UK public: stop buying SUVs, you don't need the space and if you do get an estate car. Then the rest of us can actually see down the bloody road, around car parks, and not have to sit behind your lardy asses on country roads as you slow down to 25mph for every corner you could do 50 around in a proper car. Sorry about the rant.
Does this come with a 7 seat option?
Well in CH you get one for 29000 and it bearly made any 12k KM where a Range Rover even the lowest one costs about 48000 and a Merc GLE you can't get under 78000 with the same year and optionals, i'm gonna get my self one next year and prob tune it up from the standart 210hp/400nm to 290hp and 500nm for less than 1k so it goes from 0-100 at least in 7,9sec instead of 9,6sec
i didn't spot the continuity error, someone please enlighten me?
TCM dual clutch problem?
My dad has had his car 4 years. I reckon its a match between Ford Edge and Volkswagen Touraeg
Matt said made in America....wrong, made in Canada....Oakville Ontario...just south of the Centre of the Universe called Toronto. Assembled by Canadians....also known as improved American's
Canada, USA ,mexico are all on a continent known as north america .
Ok, North Americans.
You can technically compare this with a Volkswagen Touareg. If that's the case, I'd buy this anytime over the Touareg, it looks better, it's more reliable, and it's cheaper to buy and to maintain. Well done Ford!
Mat Watson Memes. "Ford! Why Are You Not Doing Great Things With This Ford Edge!!"
the body shape is like a cayenne and the headlights look cool and sleek like an audi
After 10 months of using the new FORD EDGE I’ve got a lot of problems with it such as strange sound comes from the engine, computer problems, fuel gage getting stuck some time.. etc. it was the worst choice I ever made in 2017..!!
Why does sometimes the hatchback make the car honk than sometimes not cause that happeneds to me
Americanhooligan Can anyone explain what on earth that means ?
The Ford Edge was build in Ontario Canada. Why do I know because I have one and it is a 2017
Reminds me of the Ford territory we have here in Aus
Does it off much over the kuga? I quiet liked the kuga in titanium spec. But Ford sync would probably be a deal breaker. I want android auto in my next car, and I don't think sync has that.
Stephen Butler Sync 3 has Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Most new ford's today, have the Updated Sync (3)
***** cheers, thanks.
All 2017 Edges have Sync 3, the video has an error
I like it... but America gets a twin turbo v6 and we get silly little engines 😤😤
That text tho 😂😂
Built in CANADA thank you.
Adam Alistair still an American car
the edge sport in black with the led lights looks cool as f*
PerArduaadAstra07 .
That Ford infotainment system is so 2008.. I hope they will do some big changes.
If they made this car a 7 seater, it would become more of an explorer than an edge.
Took me 20 minutes to work out that the continuity error was the beanie. I even checked to make sure this wasn't released on april 1st.
is this same car which ford offering in India as 2017 ecosport...?
abhijit tawde No, ecosport is the small SUV, Kuga is the mid size SUV and Edge is the large SUV.
abhijit tawde no the eco sport is a third of the price at around £13,000
