OP. It varies by car and also the age of the car. Sometimes the licence has expired and the sat nav doesn't work even though it's installed.
My view is assume it wont be present or working and if it is then thats a bonus. I have had top of the range Lincolns where it's not even installed!

Last three of our rentals had Sat Navs fitted. One worked, two didn’t due to licence run out.

The memory card for the sat nav in the first Alamo Ford Edge was missing. The second Edge sat nav worked OK. The car had to be swapped after a few days due to a major fault, cost me nearly a day getting it fixed. I liked the way, when fuel got low, it showed the nearest fuel stations.

If you get a Ford Edge, and most ‘or Similars’ there is a good chance they’ll be Apple Car Play or Android Auto compatible so you can use the Nav on your phone.
I think pretty much all Ford Edges in hire fleets should have the Sync 3 system (which is where the compatibility was added). My last hire was in 2015 and was a Ford Edge from Budget which included working Nav but was Sync2 so no Apple Car Play/Android Auto. This was a Model Year 2016 - I believe MY2017 was Sync 3.
