Do you know the Ford Edge? If not, you don't know what you've been missing all these years. Because the Ford Edge continues to offer an impeccable driving experience, it is regularly renewed, in comfort worthy of mention.
On the edge of family vehicle and hardcore SUV, the 2022 Edge combines the qualities we look for in a Ford - comfort, technology, and inspired driving - in a distinctive package.
Space and refinement
The Ford Edge is one of the most spacious family vehicles in its class. Five passengers can comfortably be seated, with the rear seats offering more headroom, legroom, and hip room than most of its rivals. Even the cargo space is impressive, offering some 1,110 liters behind the seats, more than enough to carry the entire family's luggage.
What sets this Edge apart is the comfort of the interior. The interior design is simple and sleek but packed with technology and comfort features. Materials have been carefully chosen to reflect the car's modernism while offering a level of refinement that exceeds the usual standards.
The Edge adds many standard and optional features to ensure a comfortable stay on board. These include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated front seats, a six-way power passenger seat and many other features.
Connected and modern
The Ford Edge's display, both in the center console and in the dashboard, is partially digital, giving the driver easy access to vital driving information without being distracted by a wealth of information.
In the centre of the dashboard is an easy-to-use 12-inch touchscreen infotainment display. It combines comfort and connectivity controls, including the SYNC4 system, which offers one of the best voice command responses in the industry.
Compatible with smartphones of all kinds, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it can also connect with the FordPass Connect app that keeps you in touch with your vehicle and gives you, with subscription, Wi-Fi access on board. Updates are done wirelessly through a connection to your vehicle's cloud.
For the avid music lover, the Ford Edge offers an optional high-quality Bang & Olufsen audio system which, with its 12 speakers, turns the cabin into a concert hall.
Great capabilities
Under the hood, the Ford Edge offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque paired with 8-speed automatic transmission. The sportier ST version is powered by a 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6 with 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
A front-wheel-drive version is offered in the SEL and ST-Line, but all-wheel drive is the norm for all other models. Regardless of the version, the Ford Edge still plays its role as an SUV by offering a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Safety and driver assistance features
The Ford Edge is a family vehicle. As such, safety is a big part of the equation. For example, several driver assistance technologies are standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring.
CoPilot+, adding features like adaptive cruise control, is also available. Enthusiasts will also appreciate the Enhanced Automated Parking Assist, an option that makes city driving more enjoyable.
Spacious, stylish, and powerful, the Ford Edge adds a few new colours and options for 2022 but retains its comfort and dynamism. That's why the Edge is the ultimate Ford all-rounder.
