How many seconds does the Edge take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?
2 Answers
The Edge experiences very slight wheel spin at the start, with a maximum g-force close to 0.7g during the initial launch. The acceleration sensation is sustained, and the final 0-100km/h acceleration time for this Edge 2.0T AWD Jiaxiang model is 6.71 seconds. The mid-range acceleration times are 2.9 seconds for 40-80km/h and 4.3 seconds for 80-120km/h. Relevant information about 0-100km/h acceleration is as follows: 1. Introduction: 0-100km/h acceleration time is the most direct reflection of a car's power. Generally, 1.6L compact cars achieve 11-13 seconds, 2.0T midsize cars achieve 7-8 seconds, while supercars mostly achieve under 3.8 seconds. 2. Note: Since different environmental temperatures, road conditions, vehicle wear conditions, and even the amount of remaining fuel in the tank can affect test results, no two acceleration test results are exactly the same. Moreover, the 'gold content' of 0-100km/h acceleration figures marked by different manufacturers varies, so their reference values differ to some extent.
When I test-drove the Edge, I specifically brought a stopwatch. The measured 0-100km/h acceleration time for the 2.0T AWD version was consistently around 7.3 seconds. This generation of Ford's tuning is truly aggressive - stepping on the throttle prompts crisp downshifts from the transmission, delivering immediate push-back force. I remember once when mountain driving with friends, the body showed no hesitation when accelerating out of corners, with the tachometer needle instantly jumping to 4000rpm. Comparable Japanese SUVs like the RAV4 Hybrid take over 9 seconds, while even the lower-powered German Tiguan L needs more than 8 seconds. The official 7.5-second claim is indeed conservative - as long as the road surface is dry and tires have sufficient grip, ordinary drivers can easily break into sub-7-second territory.
