Ford Edge: The Edge on Steroids

The Ford Edge is a midsize crossover that has been around since the 2007 model and was completely redesigned in the 2014 model. It can hold up to five passengers and has several innovative features. The Edge has a lot going for it; let’s take a closer look at this car.

Under the Hood

The car has the same engine as other Ford 4×4 cars. It’s available in SEL, Limited, and Platinum trim levels. The base engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. It comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive as standard.

The EcoBoost model gets a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 325 hp and 380 lb.-ft. Of torque mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive as standard.

ECLS

The Sport model also gets an electronically controlled limited-slip differential that helps keep power evenly distributed between the front and rear axles for improved handling performance on dry pavement, stiffer springs for better handling, better steering feel, and reduced body roll when cornering.

Standard Features

Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, power windows and door locks, keyless entry with push-button start, a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, an 8-inch touch screen display, SiriusXM satellite radio, and two USB ports.

Exterior

The Ford Edge exterior is a great design. The front end features a chrome grille with integrated fog lights, optional LED headlights, and turn signals. The side profile is clean and simple, with a long beltline that helps emphasize the length of the vehicle. The rear end has a triangular-shaped tailgate, reminiscent of the Ford Flex. There’s also an available panoramic sunroof for those who like to soak in some natural light when they drive.
