Ford plans to update its 5-door K1 class SUV. The second generation of the Ford Edge debuted in June 2014 in Detroit. And here is the new information - the company provided preliminary data on the technical characteristics and estimated price of the updated Ford Edge 2018. Ford Edge (Ford Edge) is a K1 class SUV with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In 2016, the second generation of the model underwent a slight facelift.
Edge updates can hardly be called significant. Adjustments were made to those visual elements that are impossible to find without prompts. However, the fact remains. Moreover, there is something to talk about. About expanding the range of options, for example. The car received adaptive control technology that continuously monitors the conditions and driving style, adjusting the steering wheel operation algorithm: it reduces or increases effort, makes the steering wheel sharper or, on the contrary, “blurs” the reactions a little. The updated Edge also has an active noise reduction system.
2018 Ford Edge interior
The interior design is just as rich and varied. It is rare to find such a strong approach to every detail. The combination of external style and beauty of the salon allows the main seller of America to hope that the public will appreciate the work carried out by the employees of the concern. The steering wheel, which is common for Ford cars, is crammed with a set of functions. Each of the options available for steering wheel control at any time may be needed when driving a Ford. The easy-to-read instrument panel has a beautiful coloring, and each of the gauges displays information in an electronic format. The interior has many different functions.
It is worth highlighting the main ones: steering wheel heating; informative tidy; large, touch screen; new architecture for collecting and displaying information on the screen; center console; climate control, etc. The trunk began to hold 1100 liters. And when disassembling the seats 2077 liters. This is impressive, since the first generation of the 2018 Ford Edge could not boast of such characteristics. It is noteworthy that inside there are a lot of new chips that will appeal to all buyers. Let me list them. Traffic Allert - provides a safe exit from the parking lot. Park Assist - on the contrary, it will help you park correctly. Rear and front parking sensors. Heated front seats. Seat ventilation. The lane-keeping system provides assistance for staying in the lane. A hands-free system that allows you to open the tailgate by sliding your foot under the rear bumper. Air seat belts. 1200 mm sunroof with panoramic roof. Blinds for the radiator grille, which can be closed if necessary.

The Age's interior is trimmed, if not with premium, but rather expensive materials, in particular, Alcantara can be found on leather seats. There is also a large touch screen, a multimedia system with many functions, and the dashboard is no longer analog, but “drawn” by a computer. The diesel Ford Edge has both a 6-speed manual and an automatic. Of course, all this suggests that the 2018 Ford Age fully meets the requirements of those buyers who would like to have a modern crossover. The center console with multimedia system looks attractive, where there is no longer an abuse of glossy black panels, notable only for their extreme impracticality and tendency to leave fingerprints. Pleasantly surprised by the abundance of space inside the cabin. There is more than enough space in the second row, and the fact that the rear seat backs are adjustable is also good. On a long trip, those sitting in the second row should be comfortable and cozy. The second row is very spacious.

Making out the front panel, the manufacturer tried to pay special attention to each element. What is a special multimedia system from Sony. This is a build ready to serve for years. At the head is an 8-inch screen. On the sides it is picked up by familiar heating elements. A little lower than the multimedia system is the gearshift lever, the upholstery of which is made of high-quality material. As usual, there are places for installing containers with drinks. The driver can spread his arm on the armrest, which will make driving a car more enjoyable. The interior design of the 2018 Ford Edge is at an acceptable level. The combination of colors creates harmony and style of interior design. Aerobatics are seats. The upholstery is so paid that it will be pleasant in the chair, even for the most capricious buyers. Plus, it is worth highlighting the sides of the front seats, which will delay you during sharp turns. The new wheelbase of 2 meters 85 cm has significantly expanded the interior space. Now there is a lot of space in the cabin and much more comfortable. The rear seats are made of the same material as the front.
Specifications Ford Edge 2018
The popular car in the US will receive almost the same characteristics as its predecessor, but the design will be slightly changed. Ford Edge, according to company representatives, will remain an ideal option for travelers who value design and functionality. Ford Edge 2018, like its predecessor, will be built on the same common platform with the Mondeo / Fusion, however, Ford engineers have subjected it to some modernization. In place of the “bogie”, the company also modified the body, which added 16 percent in torsional stiffness and 26 percent in bending stiffness. Depending on the level of equipment, the 2018 Ford Edge can be equipped with inflatable seat belts (both front and rear), heated and ventilated seats, an 8-inch SYNC multimedia system, MyFord Touch support and a number of other functions, a camera with 180 -degree viewing angle and much more.
At the Detroit Auto Show, Ford plans to present a new crossover Ford Edge, which has survived restyling, which brought him a large number of changes in the exterior, interior and technical specifications. The car, not having time to enter the markets, has already become world famous due to the name change. So, for Australia, the Ford Edge crossover was renamed because of Toyota, since the Edge brand belongs to a Japanese company. In this regard, in the Australian markets, sales of the SUV will start under the name Endura.
Exterior
Designers in the process of restyling equipped the car with a new three-dimensional radiator grille with an unusual pattern. The configuration of the head optics has changed: the headlights have received new graphics and are now equipped with LED lamps even in the basic configuration.
The shape of the tail lights is original, making them look modern. The design of the tailgate has changed, a separate niche for mounting the license plate has appeared. The restyling gave the Ford Edge a solid and unusual appearance.
When looking at the car in profile, massive wheel arches with low-profile tires with a diameter of 21 inches immediately catch your eye. The doors are decorated with expressive ribs.
Ford Edge interior
Ford Edge, of course, has undergone some changes to the interior space, but they are not as noticeable as the exterior ones. A modernized console with an unusual washer for switching gears took its rightful place in the cabin. A platform for charging mobile devices, cup holders and various storage containers are located there. As an entertainment system, the Sync 3 multimedia complex is used, the functionality of which allows you to simultaneously use up to ten devices.
The driver's area has retained its practicality and ergonomics: all controls are at hand. The steering wheel is multifunctional, equipped with a large number of buttons. A widescreen display is integrated into the instrument panel.
The front row seats are equipped with graphic decor and armrests. Seat adjustment is carried out in ten directions. The second row of seats is very comfortable: it can comfortably accommodate three passengers. Due to the possibility of transforming the rear seats, you can increase the volume of the luggage compartment. The upholstery of the chairs is fabric, in a pleasant gray shade with brown suede inserts.
The free space in the cabin allows five people to comfortably accommodate, and the rich functionality and variety of infotainment equipment will not let you get bored on a long trip.
Dimensions
The restyled version of the Ford Edge ST has medium dimensions:
- Body length - 4679 millimeters.
- Width - 1930 millimeters.
- Height - 1700 millimeters.
- Ground clearance - 200 millimeters.
- Wheelbase - 2850 millimeters.
- Front track - 1661 mm, rear - 1656 mm.
Complete set
Official dealers of Ford Edge in Russia will offer only one complete set of the crossover. Options package includes:
- The engine range is a 3.5-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 288 horsepower. It is possible to increase power by expanding the combustion chamber, but this leads to a sharp increase in fuel consumption. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is 11.6 liters, in urban mode - 13.1 liters. Due to the rather high consumption, Ford Edge can hardly be called an economical car.
- The engine is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for smoother shifting. Acceleration to the first hundred occurs in 7.7 seconds, while the maximum developed speed is 178 km / h.
- A rich package of options, the security system is especially pleasing, as noted in reviews of the Ford Edge. Car owners separately allocate tracking systems for traffic lanes and blind spots. When enabled, the forward collision warning option can not only warn the driver, but also take measures to avoid an accident. Adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition work in conjunction with the forward collision avoidance system.
- The main elements of the security system are inflatable belts and airbags. The Ford Edge has an additional airbag built into the roof. The manufacturer also notes that the rigidity of the body has been increased, which increases its strength and reduces the risk of deformation.
- For the redistribution of torque, depending on the situation on the road, the all-wheel drive system installed on the car is responsible. There is also a hill start assist system standard for all SUVs and crossovers.
- Additional options include climate control, heated seats, an integrated display of a multimedia complex, power rear-view mirrors and windows.
- For an additional fee, the car can be equipped with a panoramic roof. In its class, it is the largest, taking into account the features of the body - its length is 1210 millimeters.
Specifications
Ford Edge was created on the basis of the chassis of one of the most popular sedans - Fusion. The crossover has the following technical characteristics:
- The car body is made of high-quality steel, which significantly increased its strength and rigidity. Given the increased performance data, Ford Edge has become more manageable and reliable.
- The increase in the wheelbase to 2850 millimeters made it possible to make the interior of the car more spacious, comfortable and convenient, while freeing up space for rear passengers. As a result, the legroom at the front seats has increased by 48 millimeters, at the rear - by 25 millimeters. At the same time, the Ford Edge has become 25 millimeters taller.
- The volume of the luggage compartment of the crossover is 1110 liters. Compared to the previous generation, the trunk has increased by 200 liters. It is possible to expand the luggage compartment up to 2078 liters by folding the rear row of seats.
crossover cost
It is assumed that sales of the Ford Edge SUV will start in the summer of 2018, but no information on the price has yet been published. The manufacturer indicates the starting price of the car at 46 thousand dollars (2.6 million rubles).
Advantages
Ford Edge has the following features:
- High level of security.
- Rich set of options and functions.
- Powerful and dynamic engine coupled with a reliable transmission.
- Good equipment.
Flaws
- Only one proposed equipment is alarming, which is a bit strange.
- The Ford Edge is equipped with an automatic transmission only.
- The line of power units is represented by only one engine with high fuel consumption.
- The high cost of the crossover.
Ford Edge is a reliable and high-quality SUV, characterized by good dynamism and excellent handling.
For Russia, this brutal-looking Ford Edge 2 produced only with a 3.5-liter Cyclone V6 gasoline engine with a capacity of 288 hp, which works with a SelectShift automatic transmission.
With the latest electronic systems and a "combination lock" on the Edge's driver's door, you'll feel safe, and you'll also be able to trust the car to your children by setting up a special key with restrictions. A large ground clearance of 20.5 cm and AWD all-wheel drive will allow you to confidently move along country roads to your country house or vacation.
Ford Edge 2 review:
The model began to be produced in 2006 and survived the restyling of 2010. And at the end of 2013, the world saw a new model, about which this review was written. Since 2014, official sales began in Russia.
The car is produced in Canada (Oakville, Ontario) and since 2013 it has been imported to Russia in large units, which are then assembled in Yelabuga (Tatarstan). In terms of characteristics and dimensions, Edge is an intermediate model in the series between new and.
Salon:
In the cabin Lots of space both front and rear. Leather seats are soft and comfortable, they are pleasant to sit in and do not feel tired after a long journey. The rear seats fold very conveniently at the touch of a button located on the trunk wall. With the seats folded down, its volume becomes 1951 liters - that's quite a lot of space. The premium PPRM plastic on the dashboard is soft, high quality and durable.
The armrest of the driver's door is at such a height that the elbow of the left hand is constantly on it, which is convenient. The steering wheel is a little heavy - for an amateur, for example, I don’t like the excessive lightness that is present in some other crossover models. In versions for many countries, an electric power steering is used, for Russia - a hydraulic booster. The "handbrake" is on the pedal and is turned on by foot. This frees up space on the center console.
The instrument arrows on the panel have a bright backlight - in the dark, the instrument readings cannot be confused. The computer display in the standard head unit on the center console is small, only 4.2″. This may not appeal to connoisseurs of good graphics and large images. In this case, it can be replaced by another device with a larger screen.
Mirrors:
Mirrors out of habit, they may seem uninformative due to the presence of an insert in the upper corner for a wide viewing angle. If you understand how they work and get used to it, it becomes very convenient, thanks to this square-insert, dead zones are clearly visible.
When looking in the mirror, the first thing to do is to look at this “corner”, then it is easier to assess the traffic situation. Noise isolation of the cabin is good, the sound of the engine in the cabin is almost inaudible either at idle or during dynamic acceleration. So you can enjoy music from Sony's premium audio system. Sound from the 6 speakers is clear and pleasant to the ears.
When driving SelectShift automatic transmission shifts gears smoothly and quickly. The latest development Cyclone V6 engine is recognized as one of the best in the world. It has a good supply of power and resources, so it is durable and reliable. In addition to the 95th, you can also fill the gas tank with the 92nd gasoline, which is a plus in efficiency. The engine power is 288 hp, so you will have to pay an increased vehicle tax for the car.
Suspension the crossover is soft and works as it should - small bumps and pits pass unnoticed, there are no breakdowns of shock absorbers. At high speed, the car holds its course well, enters turns confidently and steadily. At the slightest hint of a skid, updated electronic systems are triggered and do everything to avoid this skid, the latest development of the Advance Trac directional stability system significantly helps the driver and makes the ride safe even for inexperienced drivers.
For novice drivers:
Speaking of beginners. Ford Edge equipped system MyKey, which allows you to set limits on the use of vehicle resources. Its main purpose is to transfer the car to a less experienced driver (for example, a wife or adult children). This system, depending on the settings, can limit the maximum speed and maximum volume of the radio.
Also, when using a programmed key, it is impossible to disable the ESP stabilization systems, seat belt reminders, and some others. The low fuel warning will be given much earlier when there is enough fuel left in the tank for another 120 km. All this is very logical and increases the safety of novice drivers.
Of the unusual solutions, the SecuriCode system can be noted - right above the driver's door handle there are digital buttons for entering the access code into the car, reminiscent of intercom code locks.
The code itself is set using the on-board computer. This is undoubtedly a convenient feature that can be called the highlight of this model. You just need to be vigilant in terms of security. For example, if you often use it in the same place, someone curious can peep the order of pressing the buttons, and then take advantage of the moment to access the salon.
Summary: reliable, spacious, powerful and safe cross-country vehicle.
like it: small families; lovers of American cars - those who do not have enough Kugi, but it's too early for the Explorer.
Don't like it: calm people, lovers of small cars.

Video review of the Ford Edge car:
Video review of the new Ford Edge - controls, dashboard and interior:
Test drive by Bob Hurley:
Have you driven this car? What can you say about its cross-country ability, what impressions do you get from driving? If there were any breakdowns, how expensive was the maintenance and repair? Write your review or comment, your opinion is very important to us.
This mid-size crossover is located in the model range of the American automaker between Kuga and Explorer. The “first Age” has been produced in Canada since the end of 2006 and has not yet been officially introduced to our market, but in 2014 this defect was eliminated and, one of the most popular crossovers in the USA, is about to appear in the showrooms of Russian dealers. In the meantime, the "new" is preparing to storm our roads, we have time to get to know her better.
The Ford Edge crossover during the last restyling (this version will appear on our market) received a rather brutal appearance, neatly diluted with chrome elements that give the car the necessary amount of nobility and elegance. In terms of dimensions, the novelty will be quite to the taste of lovers of “serious” cars: the body length of the Edge is 4679 mm, while the wheelbase length is 2825 mm. The width of the crossover is limited to 1930 ~ 2223 mm (without mirrors and with them), and the height rests on the mark of 1702 mm. A solid ground clearance (205 mm) will allow the "Age" not to be afraid of "roughness" on Russian roads.
The interior of the "new for Russia" crossover has a traditional five-seater layout and a decent level of finish. Its interior has a high degree of ergonomics, equipped with all the comfort systems that are popular today, as well as a 60:40 folding rear row of seats. The cabin provides a sufficient number of niches for storing small items, there are built-in cup holders, and the trunk (from 911 to 1951 liters - depending on the position of the rear seats) is equipped with convenient cargo securing systems.
Specifications. In the US and Canada, the Ford Edge is available with two powertrain options, but only one engine will be offered for Russia. Overboard, the Americans decided to leave the top-end 3.7-liter V6 engine with a return of 305 hp. and a torque of 280 Nm, available in the "Sport" version. Our market will get a V-shaped six-cylinder gasoline unit of the Duratec family with a displacement of 3.5 liters (3496 cm³) and an independent variable valve timing system Ti-VCT, capable of developing about 288 hp. maximum power at 6500 rpm. The torque of this motor at its peak, reached at 4000 rpm, manages to grow to the mark of 343 Nm, which the truth "at home" does not help this crossover to achieve the usual acceleration dynamics for a Russian driver - Edge picks up speed reluctantly, one might even say leisurely. Perhaps the reason for this is the 6-band "automatic" 6F, the settings of which are focused on unhurried Americans, so let's hope that the gearbox will be reconfigured properly for Russia. At least it is stated that the Russian version of the Age will accelerate to 100 km / h in ~ 8 seconds, and the maximum speed of the crossover will be 178 km / h.
What is remarkable is that this power unit, apparently due to the fact that it is from America, does not disdain 92nd gasoline.
Unlike North America, this crossover will be presented in our market only in the version with the All-Wheel Drive intelligent all-wheel drive system. In constant mode, the thrust will be transmitted to the front axle, but when the front wheels slip, part of the torque will go to the rear axle through a multi-plate clutch. Given the presence of all-wheel drive, the average fuel consumption is predicted by the developers at 11.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
The car is based on the Ford CD3 platform, also known from the Ford Fusion and Mazda CX-9. Suspension on the Edge is fully independent, using a MacPherson strut design at the front and a multi-link system with an anti-roll bar at the rear. Disc brakes with ventilated discs are installed on all wheels. Rack and pinion steering is supplemented by an electric booster with a variable gear ratio, but it is possible that for Russia it will be replaced with a cheaper hydraulic booster. The ABS, EBD and Traction control systems are also equipped to help the driver.
Options and prices. In the US, the Ford Edge is available in four variants starting at $27,700. In Russia, the Ford Age equipment is the only one, but very rich.
So the list of equipment for this crossover includes: 18″ alloy wheels, ABS, directional stability and hill start assist, 8 airbags (including curtains), adjustable steering column, full power accessories (including heating and power front seats), 2- x zone climate control, cruise control, standard multimedia system with steering wheel controls, immobilizer, rear parking sensors, tire pressure sensor and much more… and all this for only ~ 1 million 925 thousand rubles (in 2015 ).
This price is probably not least due to the fact that its production has been established at the facilities of the Ford Sollers plant in Yelabuga.
