Ford test drive Edge 2017:
June 3rd, 2016 Admin
A little over a year ago, the American automaker Ford launched the production of a new generation of the Age mid-size crossover. This car became the 3rd Ford car, designed on a new, "global" platform, which already underlies the new Fusion and Mondeo. The crossover is supplied or produced in more than 100 countries around the world.
In accordance with the wishes of buyers, the equipment of a car is not the same everywhere: in particular, in the EU in motor range there are diesels, but cars sold in the USA and Canada do not come with them. Below we will tell you in detail about all the features, characteristics and other information about this car.
The appearance of the Ford Edge 2016
The front of the car looks quite massive. The dominant element here is, of course, the large chrome (in top configuration- black) 6-coal false radiator grille with 2 thick slats. Against its background, the head optics are even a little lost. By the way, it has a rather uncomplicated shape, and inside it is visually divided into several segments.
The air intake is located quite low and is protected by a coarse mesh - an indiscreet hint that the car is not very intended for off-road driving. On the sides of it are visible small air intakes for the front brakes, edged with a strip of LED running lights. In the basic configuration, they are not, but there are no holes either.
From the side, the car looks assertive and aggressive, which is facilitated by embossed wheel arches, a rather high window sill line, a rear window littered forward with a spoiler above it and beautiful faceted stampings on the doors.
Behind the car looks, perhaps, the most advantageous. What is the rear optics worth, white in the center and outlined in orange lines, one of which connects the lights together!
Looks very nice. Also present unusual solution- a recess in the rear door to make it easier to open. It is a pity that in inclement weather it will be covered in mud. The car has 2 exhaust pipes. Usually they are round, but in the richest configuration, their shape changes to a trapezoidal one.
The car also has a plastic body kit that protects the body from minor scratches and chips in the lower part.
Ford Age dimensions are quite typical for a mid-size car. It is 4.778 meters long, 1.928 meters wide, 1.742 meters high, and has a wheelbase of 2.85 meters. Ground clearance(clearance) Ford Edge is 200 mm.
Photo salon Ford Age 2016
The interior decoration is made in a very unusual style, and its color scheme can be either regular, plain, or 2-color, but this is an option.
The dashboard is the highlight of the whole interior, because, unlike many cars, its layout in some trim levels provides for 1 analog device (and this is a speedometer) and 2 small LCD screens on the sides of it, on which various information can be displayed.
Due to this decision, various control lamps there was a place only at the bottom of the dashboard.
The multifunction steering wheel is beautiful in its own way, but it cannot be called original, although the arrangement of buttons in 4 blocks is not common.
The chairs do not shine with developed lateral support, but are ergonomic and comfortable, and in most trim levels (except for the basic one) they are equipped with a multitude of electrical adjustments, which allows you to customize them for a person of any physique.
Passengers in the back row are also unlikely to have questions about comfort: the sofa is comfortable and spacious even for 3 people.
Trunk volume Ford Edge 2016 model year truly gigantic. Even with the rear seats folded down, you'll have 1,110 litres, and if you fold them down, the figure rises to 2,079 litres.
Specifications of the new Ford Age 2016
In North American markets (USA and Canada), the crossover is offered with 3 engines, and all of them run on gasoline.
The base unit is a 2-liter "turbo four" that produces 245 hp. and 373 Nm of torque. The other 2 are mighty V6s, turbocharged (2.7L) and non-turbo (3.5L). The indicators, respectively, are 315 forces and 475 Nm and 280 "horses" and 339 Nm. O dynamic characteristics the manufacturer is modestly silent.
There is only one gearbox in North American cars - this is 6 tbsp. automatic transmission. The drive can be either front (default) or all-wheel drive (option).
Both suspensions are independent, with MacPherson struts at the front, and a multi-link scheme at the rear.
Ford Age 2016-2017 configuration and prices
The equipment of the "Age" is quite rich. In America, the crossover has 4 equipment options.
The first one, SE, includes front and side (including "curtain") airbags, as well as an airbag for the driver's knees, ABS and ESP, an assistance system when starting uphill, air conditioning, engine start button, cruise control, trip computer , multimedia system, audio system, adaptive head optics, keyless entry, etc. For such a car, they ask from $ 28,700.
Included SEL climate control, a leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel and a gear selector, a hands-free tailgate opening, power front seats, etc. are added. The price of Ford Age 2016 is from $31,790.
Equipment variant Titanium includes, among other things, dashboard, described above (in previous trim levels it is ordinary), threshold lighting, leather seats, rear parking sensors, heated folding mirrors, interior lighting in different colors in the footwell area, heated front seats (yes, it appears as basic equipment only starting with this configuration! ), position memory at the driver's seat and more. The cost starts at $35,600.
The engine range of the 3 above equipment is limited to 2 engines - the base 2.0 and V6 3.5 liters. without turbocharging.
"Sport"- This is a top-of-the-range equipment. In addition to the previous options, the buyer gets aluminum pedals, a dark-colored grille, a sports suspension, a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6. (non-alternative motor) and so on. The price tag starts at $40,400.
The drive in any configuration is front, full - for a surcharge. Ford Age is a worthy representative of its class with good performance and unusual design solutions. Alas, residents of the CIS countries cannot fully appreciate them due to the fact that the car is not sold in them. Let's hope Ford changes its policy and the car hits the market.
Not all models of American automakers are represented in the markets of European countries, including Russia. One such car, which has been selling well in the US and Canada for quite a long time, is the Ford Edge mid-size crossover, which occupies an intermediate niche between the Explorer and Kuga models. The Ford Edge has been produced for more than seven years in Canada, but this car has not been presented in Russia. Only in 2013, Ford officials in Russia announced the upcoming start of "Russian" sales of one of the most popular crossover models overseas. The start of car sales by Russian dealers is scheduled for the second half of 2014.
A car that has recently undergone restyling should appear on the Russian market. The crossover received a brutal appearance, moderately diluted with chrome elements. Thanks to this design approach Ford exterior Edge 2014 looks noble and elegant. The massive front bumper is effectively emphasized by vertical LED strips of daytime running lights. The radiator grille, made in the form of wide horizontal bars, looks no less impressive and catchy. The strict squinting of the Edge head optics repeats the older Explorer model. The rear view is less expressive. Plafonds rear lights american car somewhat reminiscent of station wagon Skoda Octavia, and the bumper of the car is very similar to that of the Honda CRV.
As for the dimensions, the novelty is likely to suit those who prefer "serious" cars. The length of the Ford Edge is 4679 mm with a wheelbase of 2825 mm. The width of the crossover is 1930 mm, and its height is 1702 mm. The car has a decent off-road clearance of 205 mm. This indicator allows you to fearlessly use the crossover on almost any of the Russian roads.
The interior of the crossover is designed to accommodate five people. High-quality materials were used in the interior decoration of the car, and it’s hard to find fault with the level of assembly. Sitting behind the wheel of the Ford Age, you note the good ergonomics of the driver's seat and good access to all control devices. The multifunctional steering wheel fits comfortably in your hands, providing good visibility of the instrument panel. The central console consists, as it were, of two blocks. The upper part is occupied by a large LCD monitor of the media system, and the unit located below it is the control panel for the vehicle's on-board systems. It is noteworthy that the number of buttons, in their usual sense, in the front of the car is minimal. Their functions are performed by touch keys grouped under the monitor on the center console. Next to the shift lever shifted to the left, there is a cup holder, which, obviously, is intended for the front passenger. The creators of the car have provided the necessary number of niches and pockets for storing and transporting small items. What is the huge box located between the front seats. By the way, the seats themselves are quite hard, which is quite unusual for a car originally designed for the American market.
The second row of seats can be folded in parts in a ratio of 60:40. Depending on the position of the rear seats, the boot volume of the 2014 Ford Edge ranges from 910 to 1950 liters. In addition, the luggage compartment provides modern system cargo securing.
In the United States and Canada, the presented car is sold with two types of power units. But in our country, the novelty will be supplied with only one motor. It was decided to equip the Russian version of the Ford Edge with a 3.5-liter V-engine developing 288 Horse power at 6500 rpm. This power unit is a relatively new engine of the Duratec family. It has an independent gas distribution system and has a maximum torque of 343 Nm, achieved at 4000 rpm. Despite decent power and good torque, a car sold in America does not have outstanding dynamic data. The crossover is gaining speed reluctantly, yielding in this indicator to most of the “classmates”. The reason for this state of affairs is the 6-band automatic transmission gear with the appropriate settings. According to representatives of the manufacturing company, a reconfigured box will be installed on cars delivered to Russia. Acceleration to 100 km / h for the "Russian" versions is promised at around 8 seconds, and the maximum speed of the car should be at least 190 km / h. It is worth noting that the installed engine is ready to consume gasoline with an octane rating of 92.
The only one for Russia will be the Ford Age equipment. True, we are talking about the richest version of the car. The list of installed equipment will include: 18-inch wheel disks light alloy, several airbags and curtain airbags, adjustable steering column in several positions, electric adjustment and heating of the front seats, 2-zone air conditioner, cruise control, rear parking sensors, modern multimedia system, tire pressure level sensor, and much more.
Another important difference between the car, which is supposed to be delivered to our country, and the North American versions is that in Russia Ford Edge will be sold only in all-wheel drive. At the same time, all-wheel drive is provided by the intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which is capable of transmitting traction only to the front axle when the car is moving in normal mode. In the event of slippage, part of the moment will instantly go to rear axle, using a multi-plate clutch. Given the presence all-wheel drive and a considerable displacement of the engine, the car does not have a modest fuel appetite. According to the developers of the model, the average consumption of gasoline is at the level of 12 liters per 100 kilometers. But in reality, the car will consume an average of 10-15% more fuel.
When creating the car, the Ford CD3 platform, also known from North American models, was used. Ford Fusion and crossover Mazda CX-9. The Edge features fully independent suspension, with a MacPherson strut design at the front and a multi-link and anti-roll bar at the rear.
All Ford Age 2014 wheels are equipped with ventilated disc brake mechanisms. Rack and pinion steering complements variable speed electric power steering. gear ratio, however, it will most likely be replaced with a more reliable and cheaper hydraulic booster. Among electronic assistants The driver has Traction control, ABS and EBD systems.
The assembly of the car will be launched at the facilities of the Elabuga Ford Sollers plant. The cost of the novelty will be 1.7 million rubles, which should make a car with the presented technical characteristics a very attractive offer.
At the Detroit Auto Show, the Ford automaker plans to present new crossover Ford Edge, which survived the restyling, which brought him a large number of changes in the exterior, interior and technical characteristics. The car, not having time to enter the markets, has already become world famous due to the name change. So, for Australia, the Ford Edge crossover was renamed because of Toyota, since the Edge brand belongs to Japanese company. In this regard, in the Australian markets, sales of the SUV will start under the name Endura.
Exterior
Designers in the process of restyling equipped the car with a new three-dimensional radiator grille with an unusual pattern. The configuration of the head optics has changed: the headlights have received new graphics and are now equipped with LED lamps even in the basic configuration.
The shape of the tail lights is original, making them look modern. The design of the tailgate has changed, a separate niche for mounting the license plate has appeared. The restyling gave the Ford Edge a solid and unusual appearance.
When looking at the car in profile, massive wheel arches with low-profile tires with a diameter of 21 inches immediately catch your eye. The doors are decorated with expressive ribs.
Ford Edge interior
Ford Edge, of course, has undergone some changes to the interior space, but they are not as noticeable as the exterior ones. A modernized console with an unusual washer for switching gears took its rightful place in the cabin. A platform for charging mobile devices, cup holders and various storage containers are located there. As an entertainment system, the Sync 3 multimedia complex is used, the functionality of which allows you to simultaneously use up to ten devices.
The driver's area has retained its practicality and ergonomics: all controls are at hand. Wheel multifunctional, equipped with a large number of buttons. A widescreen display is integrated into the instrument panel.
The front row seats are equipped with graphic decor and armrests. Seat adjustment is carried out in ten directions. The second row of seats is very comfortable: it can comfortably accommodate three passengers. Due to the possibility of transformation rear seats you can increase the volume of the luggage compartment. The upholstery of the chairs is fabric, in a pleasant gray shade with brown suede inserts.
