The New Ford Edge Remains an Exemplar of Its Class

The Ford Edge exists to deliver level-headed, unassuming performance for all our customers at Bill Fick Ford to enjoy. Don't think that the newest Ford Edge is just a bare-bones SUV, though. It's far from it. The Edge's confident 250-horsepower performance and youthful design make it an excellent choice for anyone who prefers a dash of power and style for their daily Huntsville, TX commute.

Engine

The Edge's performance is courtesy of a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine. The powertrain provides 250 horsepower and an estimated 275 pound-feet of torque. As a midsize model, the Edge carries less weight than bulkier SUVs and handles exceptionally well thanks to available all-wheel drive. This year's expected transmission is an eight-speed automatic on the Edge's main trim lineup. If you choose the ST variant, your Edge gets a seven-speed automatic transmission that works with a more powerful 335 horsepower twin-turbocharged powertrain.

Performance

Stability control and Hill Start Assist are part of the Edge's DNA and one reason that midsize SUV fans love it. All-wheel drive adds another layer of defense against challenging curves and road conditions. Customers are mindful that the Edge is not a born off-roader or meant to scale mountains. However, it provides a smooth, quiet drive during family adventures. For top performance, the Edge's ST variant brings A-game performance. Its 335 horsepower 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine gives SUV lovers a higher performance Edge in the lineup. Interior

The Ford Edge continues to be a family friendly midsize model on the interior. Its two rows come with cloth or leather-trimmed seating and throw in accent stitching on higher trims. Drivers of the model get a nice treat with 10-way power adjustable seating, while the passenger gets six different seating positions. Are you planning on taking your family on a long road trip and need plenty of space for your gear? The Edge's maximum cargo capacity is 73.4 cubic feet. Where the Edge stands out most is in its interior technology. Ford is focused on providing superior interior technology for the modern family this year.

Safety

The Ford Edge's driver-assist suite is Ford Co-Pilot360™.

A new Rear Park Assist feature adds sensors to the Edge and alerts you if you're too close to a vehicle or object behind the model. The Edge's ST-Line trim has an available Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ package. In addition to advanced safety technology, the model has nice practical add-ons like rain-sensing windshield wipers on higher trims.

The Ford Edge isn't the flashiest model in Huntsville, TX, but it's one of the most well-rounded and solid for drivers who want an SUV that doesn't go overboard on any one design dynamic.
