5 Key Features of the 2021 Ford Edge
1. Comfortable Interior Design
Many mid-sized SUVs seek to maximize seating; however, the Ford Edge prioritizes providing enough space for all passengers to sit comfortably. Therefore this year’s model comes with two rows of seating for a total of five seats. Even with the seats unfolded, you will still have 39.x cubit feet of storage room–plenty of space to store cargo for trips.
2. Smooth Driving Experience
This year’s Ford Edge is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will provide 250 horsepower that makes casual driving an enjoyable experience. The front-wheel-drive and eight-speed transmission come standard on base models and make for a nicely weighted balanced ride even on bumpier roads. You can also choose to upgrade your trim to include an all-wheel drive for trickier terrains.
3. Great Fuel Economy
Thanks to its engine design, the Ford Edge provides better fuel economy than most mid-sized SUVs. It gets an EPA rating of 21 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. If you choose all-wheel drive as an upgrade, this changes to 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
