Ford and Lincoln will be bringing CUVs to market for the 2007 model year. Both are powered by a 250-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, backed by a six-speed automatic. The Edge has a panoramic glass roof and a laptop-friendly center console and can carry eight-foot-long cargo with the front passenger seat folded down. An EasyFold release, accessible from the cargo area, is an available option. The car-based Edge has a MacPherson-strut front suspension and four-link setup in the rear, and comes with optional all-wheel drive and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. The Lincoln MKX (originally called the Aviator) is the more luxurious version of the Edge, with options that include a THX Certified audio system, adaptive headlights, heated and cooled front seats, and DVD-based navigation.
