The Edge crossover SUV is a big success for Ford, and it is easy to see why. While the vehicle is overweight, the styling is terrible, the packaging is very good, and decent gas mileage-17 mpg in the city and 24 MPG on the road to the two-wheel-drive models, according to the EPA. All-wheel-drive version, which weighs 4,288 pounds, according to Ford, or 210 pounds more than two-wheel-drive Edge, back 15 and 22 mpg.
The Edge is available in four versions: base SE and upscale SEL to the luxurious Limited, and new to the sport in 2009. Although the basic SE seems good value at the price of just under $ 27,000, the sport can be the full $ 40,000 mark, if all options are added. All-wheel drive is a $ 1850 option on all SE models.
In some comparative tests five passengers Crossover, The Edge finished a solid third or midpack. One of the criticisms, the head of The Edge is the weight, blunts the power of the fine 265-hp, 3.5 liter V-6 engine is estimated at a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic factor. Our other complaint is that The Edge can be very expensive if it is combined with the desire of all options as long panoramic Vista Roof and DVD-based navigation system.
The Edge runs very well, with the steering, braking and handling, although not as carlike as Ford will believe you. Inside, the sweet, The Edge, both with materials and 32.2 cubic meters of space behind the second row space and 69 cubic feet with the seats folded. Vehicle which is full of features that fully SUV buyers demand: a DVD rear seat entertainment system, sunroof, Power Lift Gate, electric folding rear seats, and voice-activated navigation system. Max trailer load is 3500 pounds.
The big news for 2009 is The Edge Sports, add a set, a sport-tuned suspension, and the availability of rakasa improved 22-inch aluminum wheels with 40-series tires. Sports camps impressive 20-inch wheel.
Also new for 2009 is a custom system using Sync 911; to Sirius Travel Link navigation system, that the cabin environment illumination, lighting the 20-inch wheels, and cargo management system with four hooks, two tie – Downs and cargo that clear.
Base SE models start below $ 27,000 and has a good level of standard equipment. Power windows, locks and mirrors, air conditioning, 17-inch aluminum wheels and remote keyless entry, but the option is not available, including the length of the roof and all-wheel drive.
Perhaps the best value in the range of the SEL, and 18-inch wheels and tires, fog lights, leather wrapped steering wheel with speed and audio controls, six-way power driver seat, power-folding second row seats, automatic headlights, in-dash six CD changer, and reverse sensing system. Synchronization with the system, the mobile phone in your car audio, costs $ 395 and worth the cost. Base price of only $ 30,000 for two-wheel-drive version.
Restrictions more functions, including the top nine speaker audio system, dual-zone air conditioning, six-way power passenger seat, the Sync system, leather upholstery, heated front seats and. Base Price shall be increased to about $ 32,500. The most desirable option is more expensive: the length of the roof is $ 1595, rear seat entertainment runs $ 1295, and voice-activated navigation system is $ 1995th Twenty-inch wheels and tires add $ 895, and power is $ Lift Gate 490th
Sports starting at $ 34,020, but we are not really the point, unless you love with the view that more aggressive. We find the idea of sport crossover SUV is oxymoronic, and will tend to improve the quality of the ideas with optional 22-inch wheels and tires.
The Edge in the rank of five stars for frontal and side-crash performance of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the safety at the tip of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. A stability control and ABS are standard, and there are guests, and curtain airbags.
