The Windy City hosts the largest auto show in North America
2011 Ford Edge
What it is: A midcycle
replacement for Ford’s five-passenger family hauler, now with two new
engines and a cool new control interface.
What’s New: The Edge is
restyled inside and out, but the big news is the debut of the Ecotec
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The Edge Sport also adds a
305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6. Inside, the Edge gets the MyFord Touch
control interface, as well as improved materials and craftsmanship.
Underneath, the suspension is tweaked for tighter handling.
Bottom Line: Crossovers like
the Edge have pushed out truck-type SUVs as spacious and convenient
family transportation. The 2011 changes should make the Edge more
versatile and better to drive.
