CHANGES FOR 2015:
– All-new model.
Now in its third generation, the Oakville-assembled Ford Edge takes its style, comfort, and day-to-day usability on a road trip around the world. As with the Fusion and Mustang, the Edge will be sold in Europe, Asia, and even Australia. That’s good news for customers here, who benefit from a more refined and technically sophisticated midsize crossover.
The latest Edge grows slightly in size inside and out, and much greater attention has been paid to fit and finish with higher quality materials to back its bold appearance. Most models come with MyFord Touch, but traditional buttons replace capacitive touch controls. You’ll also find plenty of gadgets on the options list — many of which will appeal to your inner geek: self-parking for parallel and perpendicular spaces, a front camera with its own washing system, radar cruise control with full auto-brake, and a foot-actuated power tailgate are all available.
The Edge is offered with three different engines. A heavily revised 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder is now the base engine and can be had with front- or all-wheel drive. Optional is a 3.5-litre V6 that is carried over from the previous generation. It comes in both front- and all-wheel drive, too. A 2.7-litre turbo V6 can be found under the hood of the AWD-only Edge Sport; its 315 hp makes it the most potent Edge to date. Regardless of engine selection, all feature a six-speed automatic.
SE, SEL, Titanium, and Sport trims are offered.
