2015 Edge Raises Bar for Ford Utility Vehicles

JACKSON, Mich - Once again, Ford Motor Company has proven that their products only continue to get bigger and better. After its reveal on June 24th, it is safe to say that the 2015 Edge has Raised the Bar for Ford Utility Vehicles. The 2015 Edge debuted its new athletic shape in North America and Europe on Tuesday, showing enhancements on everything from the wheels to the roof. Every inch of the Ford Edge has been revamped and reengineered, adding more features and technologies that will give customers a better driving experience than ever before. The new solid body structure and redesigned suspension on the Edge have greatly improved driving dynamics, reducing noise, vibration and other rough characteristics. Ford customers will see that with the 2015 Ford Edge they can throughly enjoy a quieter, smoother ride on their everyday commute as well as be ready to attack when the road opens up!

The 2015 Edge is Ford's first product to feature adaptive steering technology. Adaptive steering adjusts the ratio between a driver's actions at the steering wheel, or the number of turns, and how often the front wheels turn. Ford's adaptive steering continually changes the steering ratio with vehicle speed, which optimizes steering response in all situations. For instance, when the vehicle is heading into a parking spot at a low speed, the vehicle will become more agile and easier to turn. At faster speeds the ride will become more enjoyable because the system will allow the Edge to react more smoothly and precisely to driver input. 

This time around, Ford is all about giving Edge customers plenty of choices. The 2015 Edge will feature three engine options - a standard twin-scroll 2.0-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder with 245 horsepower, the 3.5-liter V6 engine and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 on the Sport model. Every engine will be equipped with dual output exhaust and a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shift activation. Paddle-activated SelectShirt gives drivers the ability to manually select gears with race-inspired paddles on the steering wheel. The Edge's six-speed automatic will always be "live in drive", so drivers won't have to worry about selecting sport mode to enable the feature.

The 2015 Edge Raises the Bar for Ford Utility Vehicles, especially when it comes to technology. Several technologies are being offered for the very first time, including adaptive steering, enhanced park assist, side parking sensors and a front camera with a washer. Other key technology features include: hands-free liftgate, lane-keeping system, SYNC® with MyFord Touch®, cross-traffic alert, and much, much more! Ford strives to continuously develop and offer the latest, most advanced technology in the industry. With technology being such a huge part of customers lives, Ford wants to incorporate it into their driving experience as well.

The all-new Edge has officially reset the standard for crossover utility vehicles. It is planned that the 2015 Ford Edge will go on sale early next year and eventually be sold in more than 100 markets around the world.
