overview Ford Edge 2011

overview Ford Edge 2011, Although the outgoing Edge's interior was generally considered ergonomically sound and modestly appealing to the eye, hard plastic and a lack of design language kept the Edge's interior from being particularly memorable. Ford says the new Edge will have a quieter interior than the more upscale Lexus RX350, Audi Q5 and Acura MDX models.
Now, Ford has made significant changes to the outgoing model's 3.5-liter V6 for increased power and efficiency, added a 3.7-liter V6 for the Edge Sport and added an optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder which will make it's North American debut in the Edge.

For the first time the Edge Sport will enjoy an engine worthy of its name. Like the new 3.5-liter V6 in the base and Limited Edge models, the 3.7-liter V6 will be mounted to a six-speed automatic transmission, but unlike the standard Edge, the Sport gains class-exclusive paddle activation of the SelectShift transmission. Arguably the most important engine change for the Edge line will be the new 2.0-liter I4 EcoBoost engine -- raising fuel economy by 30 percent over the original powertrain found in the Edge at launch. The Edge SEL and Limited now feature standard 18-inch wheels and the Edge Sport gains 22-inch wheels -- also standard.
To help bring this hulking CUV to a hasty stop, Ford added new four-wheel disc brakes with increased stopping power. Changes include steel pistons, larger rear rotors, among other changes. The new Edge debuts Ford's newest infotainment driver interface system, known as MyFord. Ford's MyKey and Easy Fuel Capless fuel-filler systems are also present for the new Edge.
