From Your Ford Dealership: A First Look at the 2024 Ford Edge
Powertrain
Producing 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, the Edge’s standard twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 engine promises strong, responsive performance when combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy is excellent as well, at an EPA-rated 28 MPG highway. Enthusiasts will be tempted by the ST model’s 335-hp 2.7L twin-turbo V6, which develops 380 lb-ft of torque and helps achieve an impressive 0 to 60 time of around six seconds.
Ford’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system and torque vectoring control are standard across the Edge lineup, ensuring tons of grip even when conditions take a turn for the worse. Â Independent MacPherson strut front suspension and an integral link rear suspension keep the vehicle stable and easy to control when taking tight turns or while traversing over tough terrain.
Interior
The Edge’s passenger cabin features an attractive, modern design and generous use of high-quality materials. With over 40 inches of rear legroom and a cargo volume of 39.2 cubic feet, expandable to 73.4 cubic feet when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are down, the SUV is quite spacious. Featuring dual-zone automatic climate control with air filtration, premium cloth seats, and a cargo management system, the SE trim is well-equipped.
Other models offer an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated seats, ambient lighting, and ActiveX upholstery. Numerous storage cubbies and compartments, including an overhead console and map pockets found on the seat backs of the front seats, add extra practicality.
Infotainment System
A fully loaded Sync 4A infotainment system can be accessed through the Edge’s 12-inch touchscreen. In addition to USB connectivity and speed-sensitive volume, this system features support for wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. An available 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system delivers incredible sound.
Safety
Besides having earned a five-star crash safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Edge has an array of driver assists that can prevent a collision from happening in the first place. Standard technologies include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alerts, and lane-keeping assistance. The optional adaptive cruise control features lane centering and a stop-and-go system, able to automatically slow or stop the vehicle in heavy traffic.
From daily commutes to off-road excursions, the Edge can do it all while providing exceptional comfort for you and your passengers. Stop by John Hinderer Ford today and take it for a spin!
