The Ford Edge is not your average sport utility vehicle. While its stature and tall body give it the bona fide SUV look, the Ford Edge
is far more carlike in terms of ride and performance thanks to its
car-based unibody chassis. But despite the underpinning of a car, the
Edge has plenty of power and all-weather driving capabilities to help
make this sport utility a well-rounded family hauler.
Powering the Ford Edge is a 3.5-liter 265 horsepower V6 engine.
Mated to a smooth shifting six-speed automatic transmission, the Edge
is quick yet composed during acceleration. Suspension is balanced, and Tacoma Ford dealers'
customers have found that the Edge provides excellent on road
responsiveness, yet it remains soft enough that it doesn’t produce a
jarring ride.
Inside, the Ford Edge is equally agreeable and even sporty. Dash
layout is clean and features excellent ergonomics. Seats are supportive
and the interior also features solid fit and finish. The interior is
also helped by Ford's excellent Sync infotainment system which enables
voice-activated control of entertainment, communication, and navigation
systems. Safety is also assured thanks to front, side, and curtain
airbags, which help make this SUV a safe choice for families according
to Toms River Ford. Plus the Edge also features ABS, AdvanceTrac, and Roll Stability Control, ensuring the Edge remains sure footed even when traction is compromised.
The Ford Edge has tough competition, which includes popular crossovers from Nissan, Mazda, and Toyota. But Ford dealers St Paul
remain confident as the Ford Edge combines fresh styling with excellent
on road ride, not to mention unique features such as the Sync and the
expansive Vista Roof which remains a crowd pleaser at one Portland Maine Ford
dealer. For those who don’t want an off-roader but wouldn’t mind having
a capable utility vehicle for occasional snow or mud, the Ford Edge is
an excellent choice.
