2018 Edge Interior
The Edge is not a luxury vehicle, and it doesn't pretend to be. There is plenty of space inside for up to four adults, although there is space for five passengers, and the seats are comfortable even over the long haul, with heated seats offered up front on the higher trims or as an optional add-on. The interior is modestly styled but well-built. It is also spacious and comfortable, favoring function over form. While there aren't many features to speak of, the controls for what is present are well laid out, and the soft-touch surfaces around the dash make for pleasant interactions. The infotainment is nothing special, but it performs well, and the inclusion of standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is refreshing.

Seating and Interior Space
The seating appointments provide room for up to five passengers, although it is recommended that you limit the rear seat to only two full-size adults. The front seats come standard with manual adjustability, with power options added to higher trim levels. With this, finding an optimum driving position is not difficult, and outward visibility is good, even when checking blind spots. The rear seats are spacious but less comfortable than the front. They can also be folded down to increase cargo space. Entering and exiting the vehicle is not too difficult, but the high step-in can be a bit annoying.

2018 Edge Trunk and Cargo Space
Excellent cargo capacity is one of the Edge's greatest strengths, with 39.2 cubic feet provided behind the rear seats. This is enough to easily accommodate the luggage of four adults, who can easily be seated in the spacious cabin as well. It is also more than enough room for daily errands or even heavier-duty requirements. And, if you need more room for large cargo or unwieldy items, the rear seats can be folded down in a 60/40 split to open up a total area of 73.4 cubic feet. This is on par with leading rivals like the Hyundai Sante Fe and Mazda CX-9, which provide 40.9 cubic feet and 38.2 cubic feet, respectively.
As for small-item storage, the Edge has you covered with two large covered bins and a deep armrest compartment. Multiple cup holders and spacious door pockets provide space for smaller items or water bottles.
