2010 Ford Edge Review on Justedgecars
TheCarConnection.com has covered all the bases by looking to a wide range of review sources relevant to the 2010 Ford Edge. In addition to conveying information from those reports, TheCarConnection.com’s editors have driven the Ford Edge and added some firsthand observations and insights to form a comprehensive review.The Ford Edge manages to look a little different in a class of vehicles that tend to all blur together. Like most newer so-called crossover designs, the 2010 Ford Edge rides and drives more like a car—a tall wagon—than a sport-utility vehicle, while its overall packaging is a good substitute for those who have moved on from an Explorer or Expedition. Ford has in recent years started its cars with an "F" and its trucks with an "E," but make no mistake, the Edge is very carlike in its performance.From either the front or the side, the Edge’s blunt nose and bright, overchromed grille are the dominant design features. Otherwise, the smoothly arched roofline and tasteful, understated rear details combine for one of the more attractive crossover profiles. Inside, the 2010 Edge feels a lot more straightforward and traditional. Materials and surfaces don’t quite match the best ones Ford has applied recently in other models, but the upright seating position and an instrument panel that’s more like a sport sedan’s than an SUV’s are both positives.A 3.5-liter, 265-horsepower V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission are offered across the 2010 Ford Edge lineup, and power is delivered by either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The combination has plenty of power to move the Edge briskly, even with a full load or on steep hills, but it still doesn’t come with the manual controls that are the sign of a vehicle with sporting intentions. Nevertheless, the Edge is surprisingly entertaining to drive, with responsive handling and a suspension that’s tuned just firmly enough for crisp handling without sacrificing ride quality.The 2010 Ford Edge becomes more fuel-efficient, with fuel-economy improvements of up to 2 mpg versus last year. EPA ratings now stand at 18 mpg city, 25 highway for the front-wheel-drive version.Keep in mind that while many other models of the Edge’s general size have third-row seating, the Edge has two rows and seating for five. But all five seating positions are ample for adults. Front seats are generous and supportive, while in back the bench seat is split 60/40 to fold forward or recline slightly. When folded, the backseats provide a level load floor, and with the front passenger seat folded the Edge can accommodate items up to eight feet long. However, the sloping rear window restricts the cargo area a bit. Each rear seat can also be folded manually using an industry-first single-hand release or automatically with an available EasyFold electro-mechanical remote release accessible from the rear cargo area.Standard safety equipment includes AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. The 2010 Ford Edge gets top scores across nearly all of the federal-government and insurance-industry crash tests, and it has been an IIHS Top Safety Pick.Standout features available on the 2010 Ford Edge include Ford’s SYNC system for controlling entertainment and communication systems, a voice-activated navigation system, and a new, large, panorama-style Vista Roof. A power liftgate is optional, as are 20-inch chromed wheels and brassy red-trimmed front seats. New last year was Sirius Travel Link, a useful optional feature that provides real-time traffic and weather information, as well as current gas prices at nearby gas stations.

2011 Ford Edge Review on Justedgecars
The 2011 Ford Edge doesn’t bring radical change to America--at least not from the outside--but it’s a beefier take on the five-seat crossover that gave Ford new life after the Explorer fell to earth.And for the new model year, the 2011 Edge counters its bigger grille and tougher appearance with the first appearance of a new eco-friendlier engine, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that’s a part of the company’s "EcoBoost" family of engines.(We’re bringing you this preview with Ford’s first official announcement and photos; a first drive of the 2011 Edge is coming this spring.)Ford’s calling this Edge a "refresh." On the market five years already, the Edge has been pretty thoroughly refurbished but Ford doesn’t call it "all-new"--possibly, to keep all its new crossover converts in the fold. But all the Edge’s powertrains are new, and the interior’s graced with Ford’s MyTouch system, which mimics the sensitive interface you’d find on an Apple iPhone.Outside it’s entirely familiar, but we’re liking the new edition more than the old. Despite the close visual kinship to the first version, the 2011 Edge is easier to spot. The big grille goes deep in a Volkswagen way, so massive we doubt Bobby Flay would challenge it to any face-off. The silhouette is more of an echo of the original Edge, though the fenders are a bit more pronounced. It’s made a name for itself with a smoothly sculpted shape, though, and mostly the Edge carries that sensibility over intact.The interior makeover’s way more "impactful," if you believe in that non-word. Vertically grained wood trim in these first photos gives the dash some heft, and like BMW, Ford’s streamlined its controls for better graphic impact. A large LCD screen dominates the control stack and it houses Ford’s MyTouch system, which lifts the iPhone interface neatly into the automotive realm. A delicate tap on the screen adjusts climate or audio controls--and instantly renders click-wheel systems like iDrive and COMAND and MMI hopelessly out of, er, touch. Steering wheel controls also cycle the LCD screens on the instrument panel and let drivers customize the information displayed.Ford’s focused more attention on the powertrains in the 2011 Edge. In the middle sits a revamped version of the Edge’s 3.5-liter V-6, now putting out 285 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. The upscale option is the 3.7-liter V-6 found in Lincolns and in some Fords, as well as the Mazda CX-9. It produces 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, which Ford reminds, is more than the BMW X5 or Lexus RX 350. Ford claims improved fuel economy’s improved, but no EPA figures are stated. Both engines are paired with Ford’s latest six-speed automatic transmission.The bigger engine story will be the EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. With a six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, Ford says this Edge will get 30 percent better fuel economy than the original 2007 Edge--17/25 mpg, by the EPA’s data--which suggests a potential 30-mpg highway fuel economy rating.A retuned suspension could give the Edge a more sporting feel, something it lacked in its current form. Big 18-inch wheels will be offered on upper trim levels. A new braking system will be combined with anti-lock, traction and stability control; hill start assist; trailer sway control; and adaptive cruise control.All Edges get Ford’s capless fuel filler; a USB connection for music players; a blind-spot detection system; and MyKey system, which allows parents to program in driver-safety alerts for younger drivers. The MyTouch system will be standard on Limited models and the revamped Edge Sport. HD Radio is a new option, and with it comes iTunes Tagging, which lets drivers note a song on the radio and add it to a purchase list on their iTunes accounts via a docked iPod or iPhone.2011 Ford Edge SportThe most desireable--and probably most expensive--2011 Ford Edge will be the Sport edition. It’s distinguished from the base, SEL and Limited editions by its standard 3.7-liter V-6, paddle shifters on its six-speed automatic, and even tauter suspension tuning, as well as massive 22-inch wheels and tires.On the body, the Edge Sport adds a black-finished grille, smoked headlamps and taillamps, new body-color side skirts and door cladding, and different front and rear fascias. Aluminum trim on the pedals and paddle shifters matches up with distinctive leather seats.Stay tuned for more on the 2011 Ford Edge from the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, and from our first drive coming soon.
