Ford Edge
Select a Year
(2 available)
A 240-horsepower EcoBoost 2.0-liter engine is added to the 2012 Edge's powertrain list. Offered on the SE, SEL and Limited trims, the 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine features turbocharging and gasoline direct injection to achieve an EPA estimated 21 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. EcoBoost-equipped Edge models also feature active grille shutters, which close under certain conditions to improve aerodynamics. Also new is the availability of a passenger's 10-way power seat with power lumbar support.
For 2011, the Edge gets a major makeover, sporting an aggressive oversized three-bar chrome grille, new front fenders and a more modern interior. The 3.5-liter V6 sees a big jump in horsepower to 285, while the Sport trim's 3.7-liter engine boosts output to 305 horsepower. New options include Intelligent Access with push-button start, adaptive cruise control and a new driver interface system called MyFord Touch.
By masterfully combining the best attributes of a responsive but comfortable sedan with those of a versatile and roomy SUV, the Ford Edge fulfills the promise of the Crossover Utility Vehicle like no other example to date. It also demonstrates impeccable timing, arriving in the same year that car-based CUV sales overtake truck-based SUV sales for the first time. The Ford Edge might not have the capacity to impact the market in the same way as the automaker's Taurus sedan of 1986 or the Explorer SUV of 1991, but the fact that it's good enough to get mentioned in the same sentence as those milestones says quite a bit.

"I am a person who has had quite a few new cars of different brands; domestic and imported. The Edge is the first car I've driven that I actually feels like it was made for me. It's as if they built it around me. The absolute most comfortable vehicle. Plus it has enough room for me to haul my dogs and my luggage on road trips. I love it!"

"Since taking delivery of my 2008 Edge Limited AWD I have loved this vehicle. I have had no quality issues. It looks great, is comfortable to drive, has great features, and is isolated from most road noise. I drove it on a cross country trip and as long as I stayed at about 70 mph I got 24.5 mile per gallon. Go faster, it gets thirsty! I came out of an import and as long as I can buy a vehicle like this from a domestic company..I'm back! Thanks, Ford."

"I bought my 2007 edge used with 35k miles on it about 6 months ago. One being super excited in car decisions in the past then finding small things later that I hated, I looked hard for this vehicle. I had a Malibu and loved it but it was way too small for my lifestyle. Looked at the Edge when it first came out a few years ago, I started shopping for one similar in size or bigger when I decided to trade. I looked at Tahoe's, Expeditions, etc and came back to the edge...1. for the price, 2. size, 3. gas mileage. I LOVE it, still very satisfied. There is so much room in the back and front. I can put anything in it, most of the time without folding the back seats down! I'm kind of picky about road noise too and it is so quiet, it's great! I love to drive the Edge on our road trips, and its awesome! My family is either tall or wide and everyone is comfortable. Ready to upgrade already just to have the My Edge Software. But will def. keep this car on the road for a while, couldn't ask for a better car."
