The 2021 Ford Edge is not new. And even though it has been in the Ford catalogue for a few years, it continues to fulfill its mission with elegance and efficiency. The many, sometimes minute, modifications made for 2021 make it even more attractive to those who want a comfortable vehicle with undeniable qualities.
Physically, the Ford Edge hardly changed; neither the shape nor the dimensions of the vehicle have been altered. More particularly, it retains its easily recognizable grille and its slightly stocky proportions, which gives it a look of solidity and refinement. The only real aesthetic evolution is the introduction of a range of wheels from 18 to 20 inches on the standard versions to 21 inches on the ST version. Alloy, bright or brushed aluminum wheels validate the modern look of this mid-size SUV.
Impressive mechanics
To power this Ford Edge, Ford relies on two turbocharged engines from the Ecoboost family. Most versions use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that provides 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. But a more dynamic, more muscular version is also part of the Edge's catalogue. It's the ST version, equipped with a 2.7-litre V6 that delivers 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
This type of engine provides effortless and satisfying accelerations, especially when paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission renowned for its smoothness.
