The Edge is a model under Ford. In China, Ford Motor Company and Changan Automobile, a subsidiary of China Changan Automobile Group, jointly established Changan Ford Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., which officially began production in early 2003. In addition to the Edge, other models under Changan Ford include the Explorer, Mondeo, Focus, Escape, and Escort. The Edge is one of the popular models under Changan Ford. The dimensions of the Edge are 4878 mm in length, 1925 mm in width, and 1770 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850 mm. In terms of power, the Edge is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine. This engine has a maximum power of 180 kW and a maximum torque of 390 Nm.

The Edge is a vehicle, produced domestically by Changan Ford. This midsize SUV has a substantial presence, with that distinct American ruggedness. The first-generation imported version already made a strong impression on the road with its commanding aura, and later the localized production brought the price down significantly. What impressed me most was the foldable third-row seats – when folded down, the trunk can accommodate three or four large suitcases. The 2.0T engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth driving, though the fuel consumption... well, you know, it's that classic American car trait. After the facelift, that 12.8-inch central control screen stands upright like a tablet right in the middle.

That model with 'EDGE' badge on the rear is the one. My neighbor just got a black ST-Line 4WD version last year - looks particularly sharp. The cabin space is truly impressive, with an almost completely flat rear floor that comfortably fits three adults. It features the SYNC+ infotainment system supporting voice commands for AC and navigation - last time I rode with him, he just said 'Hello Ford' to activate it. Though the window buttons are positioned slightly too rearward, causing misplacement during initial use. For frequent long-distance driving, I'd recommend opting for the Co-Pilot360 version - its adaptive cruise control works wonders on highways.

A mid-size SUV under the brand, manufactured by Changan Ford. I've driven my friend's 2023 model twice, and the steering wheel feels particularly light, making it easy even for female drivers. The completely flat rear floor design is highly practical, ensuring middle passengers don't have to sit with their legs cramped. Parents with children will appreciate its child safety lock design, with physical buttons conveniently located on the driver's door panel—much more accessible than digging through menus in the infotainment system. However, the inability to permanently disable the auto start-stop feature is quite annoying, requiring manual deactivation every time you start the car.

Built by Ford, it's one of the iconic American SUVs. During the last maintenance, the technician mentioned its exceptionally solid chassis, featuring front MacPherson and rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension, which handles speed bumps crisply. The high-end model comes with a B&O audio system – the bass from DJ music makes the rearview mirror vibrate. The downside is the relatively expensive maintenance, with minor services costing over a thousand yuan, and even replacing the air filter isn't DIY-friendly. By the way, the third row in the 7-seater version is more suitable for kids; adults might find it tiring on long trips.

The blue oval logo! The difference between the new and old models is particularly obvious, with the current front grille looking like a big smiling face. I noticed a detail during the test drive—there's an air conditioning vent hidden inside the front armrest box, which is super convenient for chilling drinks in summer. The 210mm ground clearance is indeed better than sedans for passing through rough terrain, but you have to step on the running board to get in and out. One minor complaint is that the automatic parking system is quite picky about recognizing parking spaces, often failing to identify parallel parking spots with unclear markings. By the way, if you're planning to buy, I recommend choosing the Twilight Snow White color—it doesn't show dust easily.
