Based on the body size of the Ford Edge, it belongs to the mid-size SUV category. Considering the official guide price of this car, ranging from 220,800 to 449,800 yuan, the Ford Edge is classified as a premium vehicle. Despite being a high-end car, its exterior design is very understated. More details about the Ford Edge are as follows: 1. The Edge is a crossover business and travel luxury vehicle launched by Ford, and it is also one of Ford's main models. In terms of appearance, the interior design of this car is very low-key, yet it exudes a domineering style. Its large exterior gives the car a very grand appearance. 2. The interior of the car is designed to be very comfortable, giving a warm and homely feeling once you sit inside. The Edge's interior uses more curves, making it softer and more comfortable, giving it an elegant and spacious feel. 3. In terms of power, the Ford Edge offers two models: the EcoBoost245 two-wheel-drive sports version and the EcoBoost245 four-wheel-drive sports version. The two-wheel-drive version is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, while the four-wheel-drive version is equipped with a 2.7L V6 engine, also matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Last month, I accompanied my friend on a test drive of the Edge, which is classified as a midsize SUV at the dealership. The real-world experience proved its impressive cargo capacity – with all three rows of seats up, it can still fit three 24-inch suitcases, making weekend family camping trips possible without needing a roof box. The 2.0T engine handles the two-ton body effortlessly even on inclines, and the chassis feels more robust than the Highlander's. For frequent highway driving or families with two kids, this space is far more practical than a five-seater. In its class, the Volkswagen Atlas is larger in dimensions, but the Edge actually offers more legroom in the third row.

Judging from the body parameters, the Edge is absolutely qualified to be the benchmark of mid-size SUVs. With a length of 4.8 meters and a wheelbase of 2.85 meters, it is a full size larger than compact SUVs like the CR-V. Last winter, I drove a friend's older model into Tibet, and with five people on board, the trunk still accommodated four snow chains and two boxes of oxygen tanks. The Ford-tuned chassis performs very steadily on unpaved roads, although the fuel consumption is higher than that of urban SUVs—my 2.7T version typically starts at 13 liters per 100 km in city driving. I highly recommend considering the new hybrid version, as its power delivery is much smoother than the pure gasoline model.

Simply put, it's a mid-size option that's larger than a compact but smaller than a full-size. Observing the Edge parked in my apartment's underground garage, its profile looks noticeably more substantial than the Envision parked beside it. The third row isn't too cramped for people under 1.7 meters tall, but for long trips, an MPV would still be more comfortable. This size is perfect for urban families—it can handle temporary seven-passenger trips without being as difficult to park as an Explorer.
