The Ford Edge is a five-passenger
crossover sport utility that answers the call for a roomy vehicle with
utility and style. It isn't a truck. Nor is it a minivan. Yet it's more
than a car.
The Edge is powered by a 285-hp
3.5-liter V6 engine, while the Edge Sport adds a 305-hp 3.7-liter V6;
both engines use a six-speed automatic transmission, the Sport adds
steering wheel shift paddles. Available on the SE, SEL and Limited trims
is a 237-hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine which boasts enhanced fuel
economy. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is
available. Standard safety features on all models include six airbags,
four wheel anti-lock brakes, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control,
auto-locking power locks, an occupant classification system and a
tire-pressure monitoring system. Optional safety equipment includes
adaptive cruise control, collision warning, blind spot detection,
rear-view camera and rain sensing wipers. MyFord driver connect
technology manages all the information the driver needs, with minimal
distraction to actually driving. For 2012 the Edge carries over with the introduction of the EcoBoost engine and several exterior color changes.
