Bold, American design distinguishes the 2007 Ford Edge in the red-hot crossover utility vehicle (CUV) market - along with a dynamic driving character and innovative features designed to make it the "crossover of the year."
Equipped with an all-new 265-horsepower V-6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, Edge will deliver performance, quietness and fuel efficiency. Ford Edge is expected to achieve fuel economy in the mid twenties in highway driving.
"Edge underscores the bold, American design direction for all Ford vehicles going forward," says Mark Fields, president, The Americas, Ford Motor Company. "Edge also is packed with Ford innovation - from its panoramic glass roof and laptop-friendly center console to fuel-saving engine and advanced safety features. We expect Edge to make waves in the hot crossover market this year just like the Fusion did for midsize cars last year."
With its unique combination of styling, capability and driving dynamics, Edge is the perfect complement to Ford Motor Company's expanding CUV lineup. Ford outpaced the competition in CUV growth in 2005 and looks to further energize the CUV market in 2006 with the new Edge and two other crossovers - the Lincoln MKX and Mazda CX-7.
