HySeries concept

Ford Edge hydrogen fuel cell-electric plug-in hybrid concept

Ford Canada announced in June 2007, that a gasoline-electric hybrid version of the Edge was to debut in the 2010 model year. The model was expected to use a new hybrid system from Ford, pairing an electric motor with a V6 engine.

A concept of the Ford Edge with HySeries Drive was shown at the 2007 Washington Auto Show and the automaker claimed potential future production. This was a hybrid electric vehicle that used hydrogen fuel along with plug-in charging of its lithium-ion battery pack, for a combined range of over 320 kilometres (200 mi). The HySeries system was introduced in the Ford Airstream concept from the 2007 Detroit Auto Show.

Rear view

Edge Vignale

For 2015, the Ford Edge was redesigned with a new Taurus and Explorer-like grille, new headlights, LED combination taillights, increased interior room, and a rear-view camera. This generation of the Edge comes with a standard EcoBoost engine, the all-new 2.0L (only the displacement and bore-center spacing carry over), which has a new twin-scroll turbo to boost low-end torque figures. Unlike the previous 2.0L EcoBoost, the 2015 generation has a towing capacity of 3500 pounds and is available with all-wheel drive. Mid-spec engine is a 3.5L V6, with slightly reduced power output. The highest engine in the range, powering Sport models, is the new 2.7L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6.

For the first time, Ford markets the Edge in European markets (as part of the company's "One Ford" strategy); it sits above the Ford Kuga. Gasoline engines are not sold in Europe; instead this market receives a pair of turbo-charged Duratorq diesel engines as used in other Ford Europe products such as the Ford Mondeo. Both engines are mated to an all-wheel drive system as standard; there is no option for two-wheel drive. The two engines are rated at 180 hp and 210 hp. Which output the customer receives is entirely dependent on the transmission choice, with a 6-speed manual as standard mated to the 180 hp unit. A 6-speed PowerShift dual-clutch transmission automatic option is available, mated to the 210 hp unit.

2019 facelift and Edge ST

2019 facelift

Edge ST

Interior

In January 2018, Ford announced that the entire Edge lineup (alongside the LINCOLN MKX's renaming) will receive a mid-cycle facelift for 2019, which replaces the existing Ford three-bar front grille with a front grille design similar to the larger Ford Explorer, new aluminum-alloy wheel options for each trim level, new exterior and interior color combinations, and a 12-speaker B&O Play surround-sound system that replaces the existing Sony system. All models receive a newly designed Ford 8F35 eight-speed automatic transmission (featuring automatic stop-start technology), which also allows the base 2.0 L EcoBoost turbocharged inline four-cylinder (I4) engine to gain a 5-horsepower (3.7 kW) boost, and all Edges to achieve improved United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy

Ford also announced that a new model of Edge, the ST, would be offered instead of the Sport as the top trim level for the line. It will feature a 2.7 L EcoBoost twin turbocharged V6 engine producing 335 horsepower (250 kW), a modest 20 horsepower (15 kW) increase over the 2018 Sport, which used the same engine. ST styling will include as a dark-finished mesh front grille, aluminum-alloy wheels, and unique interior.

With the launch of the 2018 model in Australia and New Zealand, the Edge is sold as the Ford Endura and is the successor to the Ford Territory. In Australia, the Endura was made available in Trend, ST and Titanium trim levels.

The 2019 Ford Edge will be offered in nine exterior colors, some of which are new for 2019.

In addition, the 2019 Edge will offer three new safety technologies:

• Post-collision braking: Automatically applies brake pressure when a collision event is detected.
• Evasive steering assist: Assists drivers in steering around stopped or slower vehicles in order to avoid a possible collision.
• Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go lane centering: Allows the vehicle to maintain a comfortable driving distance and helps reduce stress during longer drives.

The 2019 Edge made its debut at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, and will go on sale in the spring of 2018 as an early 2019 model year vehicle.
