One of this vehicle’s top features is its impressive fuel economy which is 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the freeway. Advanced engine technology and the six speed automatic transmission combine to produce increased power boosts performance with excellent mileage. The new Edge has also received a hefty power boost. In fact, the 3.5-liter V6 engine with 285 horsepower delivers 20 more hp than older models.
The cabin is extremely well insulated and stays super quiet even at rapid speeds. The interior is spacious with enough room to seat five persons. Ford’s innovative SYNC system is in place which allows you to use the phone while keeping your hands on the steering wheel. You can customize your very own playlist, receive traffic updates and access 911 Assist in the event of an emergency.
As you would expect from Ford, a large number of safety features have been included for passenger safety. An advanced airbag system is in place with front and side curtain bags. An ABS system and traction control are in place; all of which function to keep the vehicle stable during critical moments. A tire pressure monitoring system lets you know when your tire pressure needs to be adjusted while Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Information Systems lets you know when there is a car in your blind spot.
Additional features include a well insulated cabin and ambient interior lighting in various colors. Soft touch upholstery and silver and wood grain accents provide the Edge with a decidedly luxurious and upscale feel. Another plus is the large amount of cargo space. The rear seats can be folded down for a total of around 68 cubic feet of storage space.
The 2011 Ford Edge has been much improved over its predecessor; it offers excellent mileage, has a ton of storage room and it’s received a ton of cosmetic touch ups on the outside. Priced in the $27k range, the Edge would be an excellent choice if you are looking for an affordable SUV with a vast array of amenities.
