Pros Quick steering Cabin’s muted details Wide range of engines Composed ride on small-tire models
Cons Base seats need better bolsters Real-world fuel economy is TBD Very firm ride may strike some as stiff Cabin’s aging more quickly than the sheet metal

Pros Two potent engine options Spacious cabin Intuitive infotainment system
Cons Body leans around corners Dated infotainment graphics
The 2019 Ford Edge could be a great choice if you're looking for a crossover SUV that's a little nicer than the norm but won't bust your budget. You'd definitely like the way the Edge drives. It's tight and controlled, much like a sedan. Then there's its interior space. While the Edge doesn't have a third row, it does have a larger cargo area and a roomier second row when compared with other crossovers.Refreshed front and rear styling.Eight-speed automatic with rotary shifter.More standard features, including safety and driver assist functions.
Pros Smooth and comfortable ride quality Plenty of space for passengers and luggage Fuel-efficient and performance-oriented engines
Cons Interior design and control layout are dated and bland Outward visibility hampered by thick roof pillars and blind spots
It doesn’t really do sharp handling, it’s not quite big enough to match the best in class for practicality, nor does it come with seven seats. Yet don’t overlook the C5 Aircross if those limitations don’t worry you, because it has a lot of other things going for it; its ride is superb on most roads, it cruises along supremely quietly, it has a reasonable purchase price and very reasonable running costs.
Pros Mostly a super-smooth ride Quiet inside at speed Frugal engines
Cons Wallowy handling No seven-seat option Question marks of Citroën's reliability
The C5 Aircross is Citroen's (late) leap onto the family-crossover bandwagon.A plug-in hybrid arrives early in 2020. The big draw with that one will be better fuel economy for commuting, and lower tax. Interestingly Citroen elected to make its PHEV front-drive only to keep the price down. Whereas Peugeot, which sells 3008s at a higher price, went for a more expensive PHEV system with 4WD via an extra rear-mounted motor.
Pros Very comfortable in all sorts of ways. Looks different. No sporty pretence
Cons No sporty actuality. Ride not as consistent as billed. Occasionally irritating screen system
Pros Eye-catching looks Generous boot space Comfortable to drive
Cons Some low-rent interior bits Awkward infotainment system Rear space is tight
