The newest Ford Edge is available with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which surprisingly delivers more than adequate power and decent fuel economy.
Ford originally launched the Edge to take advantage of the growing crossover market. The 2012 model offers Ford's most cutting-edge engine and cabin technology.
The Edge presents a brawny appearance with straightforward styling. The grille, with its three-bar design, represents an older styling language which Ford has phased out on other models.
The 2-liter EcoBoost engine available in the Edge gives it equivalent power to a V-6, thanks to direct injection and a turbocharger, but fuel economy in the mid-20s.
The bench back seat is fairly typical for this class of vehicle. A rear-seat entertainment system is also available from the factory, with headrest-mounted monitors.
In the 2011 model year, Ford added its MyFord Touch cabin tech interface, which includes a somewhat balky touch screen as well as LCDs to either side of the speedometer.
