The Ford Edge is a crossover SUV based on the Mazda 6 sedan. It combines the looks and height of an SUV with the fuel economy of a sedan, although the small foundation on which the Edge is built means there won't be a third-row seat option. Power comes from a new 250-hp 3.5-liter V-6 that's also going in the Ford Fusion, the Mercury Milan, and the Lincoln Zephyr (all based on the Mazda 6) later this year. A six-speed automatic and fully independent suspension should help fuel economy (claimed to be among the best in class) and handling. Fancy options like satellite navigation and a panorama roof are available, and safety equipment like six air bags and stability control is standard. Ford is five years late to the mid-size crossover game, but at least its entry is a solid and attractive one. | The Ford Edge is a crossover SUV based on the Mazda 6 sedan.

The Ford Edge is a crossover SUV based on the Mazda 6 sedan. It combines the looks and height of an SUV with the fuel economy of a sedan, although the small foundation on which the Edge is built means there won't be a third-row seat option. Power comes from a new 250-hp 3.5-liter V-6 that's also going in the Ford Fusion, the Mercury Milan, and the Lincoln Zephyr (all based on the Mazda 6) later this year. A six-speed automatic and fully independent suspension should help fuel economy (claimed to be among the best in class) and handling. Fancy options like satellite navigation and a panorama roof are available, and safety equipment like six air bags and stability control is standard.

Pricing
Normally aspirated Ford Edge models range in price from the SE FWD to the $25,000 to the $29,000 of the SEL AWD. Many individual options will also be offered over and on top of the two trim levels. Items such as HID headlights, back up warning sensors, 20 inch wheel packages, rear DVD entertainment system and power tailgate are all planned.
Expect Ford Edge Hybrid pricing over top of the SEL AWD Edge. Prices starting from the low to mid $30,000 range would include unique Hybrid features and many of the optional features listed found on lesser Edge models.
