Is the Ford Edge a unibody?

This was the first true Ford “SUV” that featured a unibody construction in the line up. The result was a surprisingly car-like ride but with the ground clearance of an SUV. The Edge came out in 2006 and the term “Crossover” appeared, to distinguish the new unibody from the older body-on-frame SUVs.

Is 2015 a good year for the Ford Edge?

The 2015 Ford Edge is a good choice for a family hauler. This two-row midsize SUV doesn’t skimp on driving enjoyment or features, and it delivers good fuel economy. Its cabin is quiet and upscale, with soft-touch materials throughout. Cargo space is also good for the class.

What frame does the Ford Edge use?

The 2016 Ford Edge is based on the Fusion’s CD 4 chassis, unlike its predecessor, which was built on a Mazda chassis. The wheelbase has grown by an inch to 112.2 inches (same length as the Ford Fusion) and the overall length has increased by 3.9 inches, which results in greater rear seat legroom and cargo room.

How long will a 2015 Ford Edge last?

A well-maintained Ford Edge can last for over 200,000 miles. While the vehicle is not free of major faults, the engineering is sound enough to deliver decent durability. With responsible use habits and regular maintenance and repairs, the Edge will last over 15 years easily.

What’s new in the 2015 Ford Edge?

The Edge has been one of the most popular models in the midsize SUV class since its introduction in 2006. Ford took a clean-sheet approach for the new 2015 Edge, keeping the bits that were popular with Edge owners and updating the rest with new style, new technology and new powertrains.

Is the new Ford Edge better than the one it replaces?

The new Edge is a much more distinctive, attractive vehicle than the one it replaces, and it retains enough cues from the old model (such as the headlights connecting directly to the grille) that it’s not likely to be confused for a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport or the wildly styled new Murano.

Does the 2015 Ford Edge have a crash tested safety system?

The new 2015 Edge has not yet been crash-tested. All Edge models include a standard backup camera, first- and second-row side curtain airbags and a passenger knee airbag that deploys from the glove box.

Does the 2015 Ford Edge have power steering?

Given that the new 2015 Ford Edge is a clean-sheet design, Ford took the opportunity to change how the truck rides and handles with new electrically assisted power steering, a new front and rear suspension design, and new shock absorbers and springs. All of it adds up to a far more civilized, better-handling, solid-feeling SUV.
