Crossovers are more popular than ever, and with excellent class examples like the 2011 Ford Edge, it is easy to see why. Available in SE, SEL, Limited, and Sport trim levels, the 2011 Edge is powered by either a 3.5-liter or 3.7-liter Twin independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT) V6 engine that generates best-in-class 285 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with either a 6-speed automatic (SE) or a 6-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with paddle shifters (SEL and Limited), as well as either standard Front-Wheel Drive or optional Active All-Wheel Drive. Yet, even with all this equipment and a spacious interior that has up to 68.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row seats, it still achieves fuel economy of 19 city/26 highway/21 combined MPG (27 highway/22 combined on SEL/Limited trims), numbers unrivaled in the CUV segment.
Rock out to your music with the standard 12-speaker Sony Audio System including subscription fee-free HD Radio and iTunes tagging capability. Take in the world with the panoramic Vista Roof, comprised of a fixed-rear skylight and a large forward panel that can be made to tilt or open all the way. Never get lost again with the voice-activated Navigation System that includes SIRIUS Traffic, SIRIUS Travel Link, and a 10GB hard drive that can save up to 2,400 songs. The Ford SYNC in-car connectivity system allows you to use simple voice commands to control most popular MP3 players and Bluetooth-enabled phones, access 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Reports, search for businesses, receive real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation, and more. Finally, there's MyFord Touch, an industry-first that allows you to configure what you want to display on the 8-inch touch screen and 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster displays via touch controls and voice commands. Other features/options include ambient LED lighting, electro-mechanical EasyFold rear seat back, Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start, adaptive cruise control, and the Class II Trailer Tow Package that allows the Edge to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Numerous safety features keep everyone in the 2011 Edge safe from harm. Standard on all 2011 Edges, programmable MyKey helps keep teen drivers safer by making sure safety features stay on and placing caps on vehicle speed and sound system volume. Protecting you and your passengers are features like a Rear View Camera with 8-inch LCD screen that cuts on when the Edge it put in reverse and BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert that uses sensors to visually and audibly make the driver aware of vehicles in your blind spots. Other features/options include rain-sensing front wipers, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Collision Warning with Brake Support, and more.
