Product Description

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.

The third-generation Edge was revealed on February 23, 2023 for the Chinese market as the Ford Edge L as a replacement for the China exclusive Ford Edge Plus, and is built by Ford's Chinese joint venture partner Changan Ford. 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 in (310 mm) screen placed behind a slightly squared off steering wheel serves as the digital gauge cluster. A 13.2 in (340 mm) touchscreen is used as the standard infotainment system. An optional 27 in (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.
