Ford Edge

The Ford Edge is a crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company introduced for the 2007 model year as the first mid-size CUV marketed by Ford in North America. Deriving its name from a trim package of the Ford Ranger, the Ford Edge is positioned between the Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer within the Ford product line. Production of the North American Edge ended in April 2024, with the third generation Edge (dubbed the Edge L), launched in 2023, being produced and sold exclusively in China. Sharing its underpinnings with the Ford Fusion sedan, Ford also marketed a rebadged variant as the Lincoln MKX (since 2019, the Lincoln Nautilus). The second generation is also marketed by Ford of Europe, positioned between the Kuga (Escape) and the Explorer PHEV. Manufacturing of the first two generations took place at Oakville Assembly (Oakville, Ontario) alongside the Nautilus.

Second generation (CD539; 2015)

For 2015, the Ford Edge was redesigned with a new Taurus and Explorer-like grille, new headlights, LED combination taillights, increased interior room, and a rear-view camera. This generation of the Edge comes with a standard EcoBoost engine, the all-new 2.0 L (only the displacement and bore-center spacing carry over), which has a new twin-scroll turbocharger to boost low-end torque figures. Unlike the previous 2.0 L EcoBoost, the 2015 generation has a towing capacity of 3500 lb and is available with all-wheel drive. The mid specification engine is a 3.5 L V6, with slightly reduced power output. The highest engine in the range, powering Sport models, is the new 2.7 L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. For the first time, Ford marketed the Edge in European markets (as part of the company's "One Ford" strategy); it sits above the Ford Kuga. Gasoline engines are not sold in Europe; instead, this market receives either of two turbo-charged Duratorq diesel engines as used in other Ford Europe products such as the Ford Mondeo. Both engines are mated to an all-wheel drive system as standard; no option for two-wheel drive is available. The two engines are rated at 180 hp and 210 hp. Which output the customer receives is entirely dependent on the transmission choice, with a six-speed manual as standard mated to the 180-hp unit. A six-speed PowerShift automatic dual-clutch transmission option was available, mated to the 210-hp unit. Ford marketed the Edge in Europe as a premium large crossover with only high-end trims and diesel engines at prices 50% higher than in North America. Due to low sales, the model was limited in 2019 to only a few countries, with the last stock sold in early 2021. Production of the North American-market second generation Ford Edge ended on April 26, 2024, without

Third generation (CDX706; 2023)

The third-generation Edge was revealed on February 23, 2023 for the Chinese market as the Ford Edge L (Chinese: 锐界; pinyin: ruì jiè) as a replacement for the China exclusive Ford Edge Plus, and is built by Changan Ford, a joint venture between Ford and Changan Automobile. It is a mid-size SUV with three rows of seats, available with gasoline and hybrid powertrains. The body grows in length and is 22.1 centimeters (8.7 in) longer than the previous generation Edge, and 12.2 centimeters (4.8 in) longer than the Edge Plus. The updated exterior styling elements including LED headlights, optional two-tone black roof, C-pillar 'fin' design, and a triple horizontal light stripe motif in both the DRLs and taillights. The interior is notable for its expansive screens. A 12.3-inch (310 mm) screen placed behind a slightly squared off steering wheel serves as the digital gauge cluster. A 13.2-inch (340 mm) touchscreen is used as the standard infotainment system. An optional 27-inch (690 mm) 4K touchscreen sits atop the center and passenger side of the dashboard, where the left half serves as the vehicle's infotainment system, while the right half is the passenger entertainment screen. Underneath the screens, a narrow air vent with copper accents spans the dashboard. The center console contains a large cubby with a sliding cover at the front, with the gear selector next to an optional wireless charging pad sitting behind it. Seating is either in a 2-3-2 or 2-2-3 arrangement; the 2-3-2 arrangement is standard, with flat folding second row seats.
