In the frontal offset test, dummy readings from the 6 year dummy indicated marginal protection of the chest and poor protection of the neck. Similarly, protection of the neck was rated as poor for the 10 year dummy, as a result of high tensile forces during the test. In the side impact test, protection was good and maximum points were scored. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the Edge is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The bonnet provided predominantly good or adequate protection to a pedestrian's head. The bumper scored maximum points in Euro NCAP's tests, with good protection at all test locations. However, the protection provided to the pelvis was more mixed, and ranged from good to poor. The autonomous emergency braking system can detect pedestrians and performed adequately in Euro NCAP's tests, collision with the target being avoided or mitigated in some of the test scenarios.

The Edge has a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. Its standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system showed good performance in tests of its functionality at highway speeds, with complete avoidance of the target in some of the test scenarios. The Edge also has a lane assistance system that warns the driver when the car is drifting towards a lane marking and gently steers the car back to its path and an intelligent speed assistance system which identifies the local speed limit and allows the driver to set the limiter to that speed.

The passenger compartment of the Edge remained stable in the offset deformable barrier test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate. However, readings from the rear passenger dummy indicated poor protection of the head and chest, with injury parameters for both body regions exceeding safe limits. In the side barrier test maximum points were scored, with good protection of all critical parts of the body. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision and a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection there, too. The Edge has an autonomous emergency braking system that operates at the low speeds, typical of city of driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused. The system performed well in Euro NCAP's tests, with a collision against a stationary car being avoided at almost all test speeds.
