The Edge is Ford’s all-new, 5-passenger crossover utility vehicle (CUV). It uses the same car-like platform found on the Fusion
sedan and exudes fresh American styling that helps distinguish it from the competition in this rapidly growing segment. Sole power is a 265-hp V-6 engine mated to a new 6-speed automatic transmission.
Reviews
Crossover utility vehicles like the Edge represent the fastest-growing segment in the U.S. auto market, eclipsing even the stellar growth of SUVs witnessed in the 1990s. SUV and minivan buyers are attracted to CUVs because of their fuel efficiency and car-like handling, while traditional car buyers are lured by the CUV’s roomy and versatile interiors and all-wheel-drive capability. While many CUVs are designed to look similar to SUVs, Ford took the Edge in a different direction. From its distinctive three-bar chromed grille and aggressively raked windshield to its high-mounted rear spoiler, the Edge boasts new contemporary styling that is neither sedan nor SUV.
