What does the 2015 Ford Edge has to offer for the year 2015?

The 2015 Ford Edge has been completely redesigned for the year 2015.

Introduction:

The Ford Edge was offered to the market in year 207. It was among the first wave that offered midsize crossover SUVs. The aim of the vehicle was to combine the handling of Sedan and the ride along with the space of the wagon. Also it is known to raise the height of the SUVs. The vehicle is known to be one of the strong sellers of the company Ford. Over the years, the vehicle went through a number of refinement and these modifications kept it fresh as compared to the other SUVs. Now in the year 2015, a fully redesigned vehicle i.e. the 2015 Ford Edge has been arrived. All the refinements have been carried out in almost all of the areas.

Ford has given the 2015 Ford Edge a stiffer body than the earlier ones. Moreover, it has the sophisticated rear and front suspension deigns this year. It resulted in a more pleasant and upscale driving experience to its users. The 2015 Ford Edge’s new base engine is a revised turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder and it offers the better fuel economy values tha0n earlier. If you are willing to have a 3.5-liter V6 then you can get it without any worries. The exciting up gradation this year is the all new 2.7-liter turbocharged V6. This engine offering 315 horsepower has made the 2015 Ford Edge, one of the quickest models in its class range.

The redesigning of the 2015 Ford Edge has made it gained 3.9 inches of the length resulting in additional interior space for the passenger as well as the cargo. Other noticeable improvements offered by the 2015 Ford Edge include the quality of interior materials. Premium and richer feel has been given to the vehicle with the help of soft touch surface. MyFord touch interface is still there but credit goes to the latest software updates and other added physical feature that the use of this touch is not an issue now. Other added features offered by the 2015 Ford Edge are automated parking, lane keeping navigation and adaptive cruise control.

One of the things that have not been changed is the position of the 2015 Ford Edge in the SUV segment. No doubt mid size crossover SUV offering seating capacity for five passengers have been passed over by the crossover shoppers who incline towards the less expensive and smaller compact crossover rivals.
