That's surprising for me. A coworker of mine has a 2016 Edge 2.0 and with 5 adults on board, that thing was flying. I was really impressed with its acceleration.

Something wrong with your rental example maybe?


Rented a '17 Edge ecoboost a few weeks back. It really was gutless. Maybe it had 85 octane fuel in it. Even so, the Edge with 4 adults was a four letter word, SLOW. I'm sorry I did not get a chance to drive it on premium fuel.

The Ford Escapes I rent with the 2.0 EB engine all perform remarkably well on Premium fuel.
 
I had a '14 with the 3.5, and really liked it. I drove a '15 with the 2.0EB. I don't think I would be happy with the 2.0 in the Edge. The Edge is too heavy for it. The 3.5 felt a lot better. The few MPG hit is well worth it.
