But you’ll get the hang of it quickly-- and it’s slick as heck from that point on. Telling your Edge to play a certain station, navigate to a certain destination or set the climate control to a certain temperature is a great conversation starter and way to impress passengers, too. It’ll even read your text messages aloud and send pre-defined replies, all without having to remove your hands from the wheel.
Additionally, the tester included a backup camera with radar and cross-path traffic monitoring, meaning you won’t look like a tool by, say, reversing into another vehicle.
Thirsty
Gripes?
Of course, Edge isn’t the sportiest crossover going, and prefers to be comfortable more than agile. It likes gas, too—especially in winter driving with excessive use of the remote start. I averaged a meagre 14L / 100km during a week of cold-weather driving.
Gas is cheaper than diapers and pablum, relatively speaking, so you don’t need to worry too much.
But ultimately, the new Edge leads the crossover pack where advanced infotainment technology, styling and interior luxuries are concerned. It’s a good way to look slick, stay easily connected, and be ready for anything—even a family. Some day.
