TCC’s Bottom Line

If you don't require a third-row seat, the 2010 Ford Edge remains a satisfying alternative in the crowded pack of mid-size crossovers.

The 2009 Nissan Murano combines good handling and a recognizable style with a much more sophisticated interior.

TCC Likes

Two rows of comfortable seating
Responsive powertrain
Handling poise

Much richer interior styling and materials
just-right size for city driving
available all-wheel drive

TCC Dislikes

Somewhat plain inside
Lack of manual controls for the transmission
No EcoBoost engine option

Oddly styled grille
Slightly snug interior
CVT works well, but takes getting used to
