2018 Ford Edge
Engine (Power)
There are three engine options for you to choose from. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that generates 245 hp. If you get the SEL or Titanium, you can have it equipped with a more powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine that makes 280 hp. The Sport trim offers a more thrilling driving experience with a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 with 315 hp. It can accelerate faster than most of its competitors, making zero to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. All engines work with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard FWD or optional AWD.
Performance
The 2018 Ford Edge is an excellent option if you're planning to move up from a car to an SUV. It delivers car-like handling with its accurate steering and strong braking. It rides smoothly and stably on curvy roads and around corners, with minimal body lean. Additionally, this SUV will help you save more fuel than the average midsize crossover. Its standard engine achieves 20/29 mpg (city/highway), while the 3.5-liter V6 delivers 17/26 mpg. The Edge has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, which is enough for hauling a weekend camper or small trailer.
