It’s an option on lesser models, and not one we’d bother with. It does aid low speed manoeuvres to an extent, but even in the weightier Sport mode it feels much the same as the standard rack at higher speed. ST-Line versions get a variable ratio steering system that reduces the amount of steering input needed at slow speeds and when parking, but then is supposed to make the Ford Edge more stable at high speeds. A number of rivals are better in this regard - and even the ST-Line model doesn't feel particularly sporty. Models without sports suspension can pitch and wallow when you up the pace, and the remote, elastic feel to the steering means you never really get the impression you’re part of the driving experience. The downside to the Edge’s chassis is found in the bends. ST-Line and Vignale versions of the Edge are competent enough off-road thanks to the four-wheel drive system and decent ground clearance. ST-Line brings a noticeably firmer ‘edge’ to the ride around town as the 20-inch alloys pick up bigger imperfections, but it's no worse than an S-Line Audi Q5. The ride on the former is impressively smooth and soft around town, absorbing potholes and ruts with ease. Titanium and Vignale models get a more comfort-biased suspension setup than ST-Line models, which receive firmer springs, bigger wheels and an adaptive steering system. With a width of nearly 2.2-metres including mirrors it’s difficult to thread through traffic, and visibility isn’t great either. The Edge is one of the largest mainstream SUVs on the market, and you really feel that on tight country lanes or in town. It goes about its business in a relaxed and refined manner, but there’s little of the involvement you would find in a BMW X3.
