"If you are after a stylish, comfortable and spacious large SUV, the Ford Edge is well worth a look."
the Ford Edge is one of the models, this brand take hopes it raised further so that there customers to take from more prestigious marques. It is the largest SUV Ford has sold in recent years and has been brought back from the US buyers of the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, BMW X3 and Land Rover Discovery Sport to lure away. It will also take over the Kuga and EcoSport SUV in the hierarchy market share of Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Edge heads Ford's European range, is to sit. Prices are those of the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC, have so to sell it on fabric, instead of winning bargain appeal buyer.
Ford Edge the European release delayed until it 'optimized' had the car for our taste. It was on sale in the US for a while and its transatlantic origins are betrayed by the styling, the large grille, hungry-looking air intakes and a muscular, chunky outline.
We thought includes the Sport we tested model certainly looked the part. With its electric Spice orange color and black 20-inch alloy wheels, it was not a mimosa, but looked like a reasonable amount of car for the money.

the way of the Edge drives are further evidence of its American origin. Regular models have a ride that puts more emphasis on comfort than the driver entertaining, with little feedback or communication via the controls, although well composed and liquid between the corners. It is more like a larger Mondeo, but you feel very remote from the action. The body leans slightly when pressed hard on curvy roads, but.
Meanwhile, the larger wheels of the Sport model is also the ride quality enterprise in the other direction, with bumps and shocks by the suspension come often disturbing occupants.
The interior of the Edge will be familiar to anyone who with a large number of similar or common parts and the same SYNC 2 infotainment system in a Ford S-MAX, spend time. This is struck in terms of functionality and ease of use of other systems on the market, but at heart it's still a good set
Generally, there are no particular problems with the way the interior set. the seats are easy to use and there is generous passenger space throughout. Front and rear passengers have plenty of legroom and headroom, while the boat is very well dimensioned
One of two 2.0-liter diesel engines are available: a. 177bhp Turbo manually or 207bhp twin-turbo with a automatic transmission. Both provide the same fuel consumption, quoted 48.7mpg, and the same CO2 emissions (149 grams per kilometer). This means an annual road tax bill of £ 145.
without a difference in operating costs, you will probably be your choice will make based on whether you want or need an automatic transmission. The powerful engine is so equipped, but the extra power does not translate into a lot more speed. 0-62mph automatic 9.9 seconds for the 177bhp manual and 9.7 seconds for the 207bhp takes
In addition to a higher specification Vignale version will be published shortly, there are three levels of specification on the edge identified by familiar Ford family name to choose. Zetec is the entry-level, Titanium luxury choice and sports-oriented the style.
All are well equipped. Dual-zone climate control, a rearview camera and Ford touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio and Bluetooth phone connectivity are standard on all models. Automatic wipers and lights are also included, as an innovative active noise control system.
Titanium builds on this generous foundations with the addition of Navi and parking sensors as well as front and rear sport-style seats (with the fronts get heating, also). A 220 V power outlet in the center console.
The Sport model is very striking to look at, equipped with useful unique exterior finish in chrome and gloss black and aggressive 20-inch black alloy wheels. The stereo is further improved and developed with Sony together. It should be that the major tire fuel efficiency of the vehicle influence on this model are mentioned, and the cost of vehicle tax.

far the Ford Edge has therefore not gone through Euro NCAP independent crash tests, but we expect it to perform well, as much of its structure is shared with the Ford Mondeo, which was awarded five stars when it was rated
Ford has not in terms of safety to chance much left. Edge advantage of some innovative additional security features, as well as mandatory items such as electronic stability control, antilock brakes and tire pressure sensors. Each edge has to monitor positioning a system that automatically applies the brakes when an obstacle is detected, as well as your track.
Inflatable rear seat belts can be added (this reduce bruising and injury in a collision) as traffic-sign recognition.
We expect the first appearance of the Ford Edge in our driver Power customer satisfaction survey when it came too late to make the 2016 edition. However, Ford record in the survey is not the best: it was 27 in total of 32 in 2015
his tough rival Consider the Ford Edge a rather uneven package, the driver appeal and absolute quality lacks impressed in German competition. But it is certainly more distinctive and has a touch of fun and excitement to it, while there is no doubt as to his place and practicality. If no absolute leader in the class, it certainly makes an interesting alternative Linkauffangene.
