Bold Design

Have you been searching for a crossover with striking style and supreme adaptability? Welcome to the Edge. Prepare to cause a stir. Fair warning: Edge’s bold design – especially that of the new Limited – tends to attract admirers. And after the sporty stance, sleek lines and crisp accents draw you in, Edge’s remarkable flexibility keeps you coming back for more. New for 2008, a power liftgate is standard on Limited and optional on SEL, making cargo-area access easier than ever. Class-exclusive Vista Roof™ Edge’s optional Vista Roof offers you the only 2-panel panoramic view available in the class. It encompasses over 39% of the total roof area, provides a daylight opening over 3 times larger than the average traditional moonroof, and creates a maximum total-air opening of over 4322 sq. cm (4.6 sq. ft.) when fully open. Also includes convenient dual power sunshades. The SIRIUS® difference. SIRIUS Satellite Radio,* standard on every Edge, gives you digital quality channels – including sports, news, entertainment and 100% commercial-free music – all across Canada.   Experience its intuitive design. The driver-centric styling of Edge’s interior puts the essential controls — including the standard steering wheel-mounted cruise control, secondary audio controls and a tilt/telescoping steering column — all within easy reach. The available Audiophile® Sound System features a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and 9 speakers, including an 8-in. subwoofer and a 190-watt amplifier. It is sonic bliss. Another perk for the driver and front passenger: Edge comes with standard heated front bucket seats to ward away those early morning chills. Share your new hot spot. With such amazing style and room for up to 5 adults, your new Edge will be the ride of choice among friends and family, especially when you go for the available new Interior Appearance Package on Limited. The seats in every Edge are designed to help reduce fatigue, actively supporting you without feeling restrictive, while the standard Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control further enhances your comfort. Strategically placed sound-dampening materials and carefully contoured sideview mirrors are just a few of the details that lead to Edge’s remarkably quiet ride. Exclusive New Ford SYNC™ Groundbreaking hi-tech innovation: This available voice activated, hands-free customizable media system integrates most Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phones and most portable digital media players with your Ford Edge. Visit ford.ca for full connectivity details. New Voice Activation Edge’s optional touch-screen DVD based Navigation System now features convenient voice activation in addition to its helpful intersection programming, which can call out upcoming street names for you to make finding unfamiliar places much easier. Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones (even with voice commands) and other devices not essential to driving when it is safe to do so.

Sporty Handling

Driving Edge is such a blast, you’ll go looking for the long way around, just so you can take more turns. The Standard is Set. In everyday driving situations, the all-new Edge handles like a dream. Over Sand and Stone. The Edge performs on uneven ground such as gravel and stone. Water Works. Even in wet and undesirable weather, Edge provides driving confidence. AWD Models* Hug the corners. Active All-Wheel Drive (AWD) makes driving Edge exhilarating in any weather, but it’s especially helpful with the foul stuff. This on-demand system constantly monitors driver and vehicle inputs, predicts traction and delivers the appropriate amount of torque to all 4 wheels, reacting before wheel slippage can even occur. In fact, working with the standard AdvanceTrac with RSC, the AWD system can transfer torque both front to rear and side to side, enabling it to keep Edge AWD models moving even if only one wheel has traction. *SEL AWD or Limited AWD. Shift your day into high gear. Fun to drive is an understatement. You’ll revel in Edge’s confident, sports sedan-like handling thanks to features like its specially tuned, fully independent suspension and AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability ControlTM). Excellent launch and acceleration performance are the result of pairingEdge’s lively 3.5L Duratec 35 V6 engine with a sophisticated 6-speed automatic transmission that actually adapts to your driving style. And the V6 engine, which serves up a best-in-class 265 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque, was named one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines of 2007.

Energetic Performance

Edge has more than enough power and thrust to shift your day into high gear. So plan accordingly. Top Performer. The advanced technology of Edge’s powerful 3.5L Duratec 35 V6 engine helps it produce a lively 265 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque and garnered the coveted Ward’s Best Engine award*. Add the optional Class II Trailer Tow Package, and you’ve got the capacity to tow up to 1587 kilos (3500 lbs) worth of extra fun. *Class is Medium CUV with 6 cylinder engine. These Parts Perform. Excellent launch and acceleration performance are yours thanks to Edge’s sophisticated 6-speed automatic transmission, which adapts to your driving style and features the added convenience of flat-tow capability.* *See your Owner’s Guide for details. Flat-tow capability available on vehicles produced after Dec-15-2006. Fuel Economy. A rollerchain cam drive, chosen for its low-friction operation, helps Edge deliver its impressive fuel economy using regular unleaded gas. The Edge FWD gets 12.8L/100km city driving and 8.4L/100km on the highway.* The AWD gets 13.7L/100km city driving and an impressive 9.2L/100km on the highway.* *Based on front wheel drive models and Transport Canada approved test methods. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving habits, weather, road conditions and other factors beyond our control. Quiet Ride. The high-pressure die-cast aluminum that’s used to create Edge’s structurally optimized deep-skirt engine cylinder block also helps to keep noise and vibration levels down. When you ride in an Edge, you not only get comfort, you get driving peace.

Safety

Edge is equipped with the latest safety and security technology so you can stay focused on enjoying the drive. Trust its innate stability. Every Edge gets an extensive array of safety and security features including our AdvanceTrac® with class exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability Control™). AdvanceTrac with RSC is an electronic stability enhancement system that uses a vehicle-roll motion sensor to directly measure the vehicle’s roll-rate at least 100 times every second, helping it decide when and how the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), traction control and yaw control will be engaged. This system helps in many situations, such as when you’re driving on slippery surfaces or uneven ground, or making an emergency maneuver. Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Strong Backbone. Edge’s structural design, A-pillars, and bumper-to bumper flow-through rails all help it manage energy in the event of a collision. The BlockerBeam® front bumper underride protection system (a steel crossmember suspended below and behind the front bumper) helps prevent other vehicles from sliding under Edge in a frontal collision, while side-intrusion door beams and energy-absorbing door-trim panels help enhance performance in the event of a side-impact collision. Drive Assured. The class-exclusive Personal Safety System® customizes the deployment of the dual-stage front airbags based on where the driver’s seat is positioned, whether the front safety belts are in use, and the overall severity of the impact*. In addition, the Front-Passenger Sensing System identifies whether a passenger is present by approximating his or her weight, then sends a signal to automatically activate or deactivate the airbag accordingly. Wrapped In Safety. The Safety Canopy™ System includes side-curtain airbags that provide head-protection coverage for outboard-seated occupants in both rows, and side-impact and rollover sensors that direct deployment in certain types of side impact collisions or rollover events. Safe Seating. Front-seat side airbags offer an extra margin of head and chest protection for the driver and front passenger. In certain types of moderate-to-severe side-impact or rollover events, sensors detect the impact and send a signal to deploy the front-seat side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle. *Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.
