The Ford Edge is a midsize crossover sport utility that offers better fuel economy and road manners than similarly sized truck-based SUVs such as the Ford Explorer.

The Edge handles better than traditional SUVs while offering almost as much cargo space. It’s about 500 pounds lighter than an Explorer and enjoys an edge of three to four miles per gallon in fuel economy. It offers similar advantages over other traditional SUVs. Benefiting from an available all-wheel drive and a fully independent suspension, the Edge is easier to control than a truck-based SUV in the snow or on wet, slippery roads. Getting in and out of it is easier, too. Yet it gives up nothing in passenger and cargo space. In fact, the back seats in the Edge are roomier than those in the Explorer, a benefit of its design.

The Edge SEL FWD add fog lamps, six-way power driver’s seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, keyless keypad entry, six-disc CD changer, automatic headlights, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a vehicle information center. The SEL Rapid Spec Package 202A  includes the Leather Comfort Package (which consists of leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, particulate air filter and six-way power fold-flat front passenger’s seat), and adds 18-inch chrome wheels and 245/60R18 tires. Other options include a cargo package, Panoramic Vista roof , Ford’s Sync entertainment and communications system, navigation, and DVD entertainment.
