Recently, there was news online that Ford's new generation Edge shooting project is under tender, and the new car has entered the pre-market preparation stage. Judging from the project time node, new cars are expected to enter the market at the end of the first quarter or the second quarter. According to reliable sources, it will debut at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show. Due to the replacement of new cars, according to dealers, the current Edge has entered the stage of clearing inventory, and the comprehensive discount for all models exceeds 40,000 yuan.
In fact, Ford Edge has been launched in 2015 for 7 years. In the past seven years, Edge has undergone many "updated" times, mainly focusing on the front face and interior.

1 After the sales of Edge began to decline significantly in 2018, perhaps Ford was anxious and attributed the reason to the "insufficient sense of technology" of the interior. He made a quick decision and added a 12.8-inch "God Master Screen" to the interior without changing the interior design. There is no doubt that functionality is improved, but it looks...uncoordinated.

to the 2021 model, which is the Edge PLUS currently on sale. Ford simply replaced the entire set of interiors and adopted the current mainstream "dual screen design". What is certain is that Edge has always been "following the trend" and has improved a lot in terms of "functionality" and "technology", but unfortunately consumers do not pay.

and the new generation of Edge will undergo a subversive replacement. The overall shape is flat and stable, giving people a more tough feeling. In addition, the new and slender headlight style also looks more sporty.

The rear part of the car, the red and white taillights highlight the layering of the new car, and the overall visual effect is also more square. The rear bumper area of the new car is added with silver decoration, making it more three-dimensional. The exhaust adopts a hidden layout.

interior part has not been officially announced at present, but it can be inferred that the overall interior design is highly likely to be similar to Mondeo and Explorer, and the through-type Dalian screen is a highlight.

It is worth noting that the new era has undergone a major upgrade in size. The new Edge has added 100mm to the original wheelbase, and a conspicuous "L" logo is added to the C-pillar position of the body, so the new car is likely to be named "Edge L". Not only the wheelbase, but also the measurements have been greatly upgraded. has a length of 5 meters and a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters. This also improves the space inside the car.

From the previous application information, the new era adopts a 2.0T engine code-named CAF484WQC4, with a maximum power of 185kW, which is 252 horsepower, which is 7 horsepower higher than the current model, and the transmission part continues to match the 8AT gearbox. It is reported that a hybrid version will be launched in the future, which is worth looking forward to.
4 years ago, Edge did compare the "magic car" Highlander , and lasted for 3 years to suppress Highlander in sales. However, everyone should know the story that Edge's sales are declining day by day and cannot match Toyota at all.
After this replacement, both the shape, size and power have been improved, but it is obviously difficult to return to its previous position. After all, the market environment is more intense today, with competitors emerging one after another. Moreover, in recent years, both Ford's brand power and Edge's user base have declined a lot.Of course, the launch of the new model will probably boost Ford's sales in terms of sales. As for whether it can challenge Highlander/ Crown , it depends on what kind of surprise the new car will bring in the end.
