Ford Edge

Equipped with an all-new 250-horsepower V-6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, the 2007 Edge "CUV" promises to deliver performance, quietness and fuel efficiency, according to the automaker. Ford Edge is expected to achieve fuel economy in the mid twenties in highway driving. "Edge underscores the bold, American design direction for all Ford vehicles going forward," says Mark Fields, president, The Americas, Ford Motor Company. "Edge also is packed with Ford innovation - from its panoramic glass roof and laptop-friendly center console to fuel-saving engine and advanced safety features. We expect Edge to make waves in the hot crossover market this year just like the Fusion did for midsize cars last year."



The CUV is the fastest-growing vehicle segment in the United States, outpacing even the remarkable growth SUVs achieved in the 1990s. CUVs surpassed 2 million U.S. sales in 2005 and are on pace in 2006 to exceed traditional SUV sales for the first time.
