The new Ford EDGE L: wheelbase growth of 100mm, two rows of independent seats, fuel consumption of nearly 6.3L!

EDGE L exterior: beyond the same class of SUV

Since its debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2014, the Changan Ford EDGE has also accompanied the nation for nearly nine years. For a long time, it and Toyota Hanlanda together occupy most of the market share of the domestic joint venture medium-sized SUVs, can be said to be a moment. The new car not only has a comprehensive upgrade in size, but also adds a new powertrain, fuel economy and power double upgrade. Today let's take a good look at what the new car has to offer.

As a replacement model, the design changes of the new generation Ford EDGE L are indeed radical, and there is no trace of the previous generation. The overall shape is more rounded, more full, "big car" is very strong. The front of the latest family design, especially the shape of the large grille, more similar to the previous MONDEO.

EDGE L exterior: beyond the same class of SUV

The EDGE L still offers two different exterior styles for you to choose from, the short horizontal stripes of the dot matrix center mesh of the regular version looks more refined. The ST-Line, on the other hand, has an all-black front grille that looks very cool. The internal texture of the center grille also adopts the same breathing movable design as the Mondeo, with details pulled full. The headlights are also designed to blend with the grille, and the overall feeling will be a bit stronger. The upper part of the grille has penetrating LED lights. There are actually two small daytime running lights underneath the headlights, and when lit together, the technology is very good and recognizable.

The C-pillar is raised upwards to make the side look more spiritual. In order to highlight its long-axle identity, you can also see an "L" logo in the C-pillar, which has not really been seen on long-axle models in the past.

The fuel version of the car uses 20-inch wheels with 255/55 R20 tires, while the hybrid version uses blade-style 21-inch wheels with 255/50 R21 tires. no matter which wheels are mentioned above, they are very imposing with the actual car, and the 255mm tire width keyboard is also relatively high.

Above has been saying that the new car is longer and bigger, so how big is it in the end? The new generation of the EDGE L is 5000*1961*1773mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2950mm. 122mm in length, 36mm in width, 3mm in height and 100mm in wheelbase compared to the current model.

The roof of the car will have a small decline when it reaches the rear, making the rear look more compact. The black horizontal trim connects the taillight clusters on the left and right sides, effectively enhancing the sense of hierarchy at the rear and also stretching the visual width. It's a pity that the layout of the hidden exhaust is still a bit low-profile.

Interior: sporty and the space inside the car is large enough

The interior of the new generation of the EDGE L also adopts a new family design style, which has been seen in the Mondeo. The entire center console is almost filled with a huge 27-inch screen, which is very eye-catching. The steering wheel is also designed with a flat top and bottom and is embellished with stitching, making it quite sporty.

The ST-Line version also has a lot of red textures on the center console details to reinforce the sporty atmosphere of the ST-Line.

The knob-type electronic gear knob, which was commonly used by Ford in the past, is not present in the new car, instead, there is a "small chicken leg" like electronic gear knob, which is small and very delicate. There is a cell phone slot next to the gear knob, and also provides wireless charging, but the official did not mention how much charging power.

The second row of seats is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the new car. The EDGE L has a 2+2+3 seating layout. The second row of seats in the actual model comes with comfortable legrests, with three modes of one-touch switching near zero gravity mode; the seats are made of luxurious Dinamica material, and the backrest angle can be adjusted backward to 41°, and the angle between the backrest and thighs can reach 105°, so passengers can easily find a sitting position that suits them.

In terms of space, the second row has a maximum knee space of 256mm, a maximum leg space of 1190mm and a shoulder space of 1529mm. 185cm tall, I can get up to 1 punch of leg space in the second row. And the narrowest distance of the second-row passage reached 200mm, plus the foldable seat armrest, easy access to the third row. At this point, I still have some legroom left in the third row, the ride space performance is worth praising. And seat ventilation, heating and independent temperature control, wireless charging, portable cup holders and other configurations are equipped, so that the second-row occupants easily enjoy the "lie flat" travel experience.

EDGE L has low gas mileage and is really versatile

Powering the EDGE L are two power options, the EcoBoost 2.0T gasoline engine and the 2.0T fuel-electric hybrid system. Among them, the 2.0T hybrid version is equipped with Ford's fifth-generation 2.0T EcoBoost® twin-scroll turbocharged direct-injection high-powered engine with a rated power of 202kW and maximum torque of 405N-m, which can achieve a zero-100km acceleration of 7.1 seconds. The new vehicle is also supported by an intelligent electronically controlled mechanical four-wheel drive system for higher passability and safety. In addition, the hybrid version of the WLTC has a low fuel consumption of 6.31 liters per 100 kilometers and a range of 1188 kilometers on one tank of fuel.

The fuel version of the EDGE L is also equipped with a 2.0T EcoBoost® twin-scroll turbocharged direct injection engine with a rated power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 378N-m. The power parameters are also good.

Summary

From the static experience, the new generation of Ford EDGE L is really capable of fighting. The longer and larger body brings the large space that the country likes and the aura is quite sufficient. The functional performance of the second row of seats is impressive; such a second row used to be seen more in luxury MPVs. The addition of the hybrid system can also significantly improve the fuel economy performance of the new car. I have to say, such a EDGE L is really very versatile. According to the previously announced news, the fuel version will be launched in April first, and the hybrid version will be available until July. Let's look forward to the price of the new car together!
