What is the actual fuel consumption of the Edge Plus?
3 Answers
The five-seat Platinum trim of the Edge Plus has a fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km over 7,200 kilometers. Here are the details: 1. Edge: Generally refers to the Ford Edge. The mid-size SUV Ford Edge Plus by Changan Ford was officially launched on December 22, 2020. 2. Ford Edge Plus: Building on its high-performance DNA, the new model has evolved in every dimension, from exterior and interior design to luxury quality and smart technology. It is not only the performance king in the mid-size SUV segment but also offers spacious interiors to meet diverse user needs.
I've been driving the Ford Edge Plus for almost a year, mainly for city commuting and short weekend trips. The actual fuel consumption is around 10-12 liters per 100 kilometers. It's most fuel-consuming in city traffic jams, with stop-and-go driving pushing it up to 13 liters; highway cruising is much better, maintaining a steady speed of 90-100 km/h can reduce fuel consumption to 7-8 liters. Many factors affect this, such as using air conditioning which adds about 1-2 liters, and carrying full passengers or luggage also increases fuel consumption. Personally, I avoid sudden acceleration and anticipate deceleration in advance, which can save around 0.5 liters. Maintenance is crucial—changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and keeping tire pressure at the standard value helps maintain stable fuel consumption. The first few months with a new car tend to be higher, but it improves after the break-in period. On average, I find 10-11 liters to be reliable, slightly more efficient than you might expect. I recommend downloading a fuel consumption app to track trips and monitor trends easily.
As a commuter, I drive the Edge Plus to work every day, covering a 70-kilometer round trip with a mix of highway and city roads. The average fuel consumption is around 9 liters per 100 km. The highway segment shows clear advantages—when cruising at 100 km/h, the actual measured consumption is 7.5 liters. In the city, with frequent red lights, it jumps to slightly over 10 liters. Many small details affect fuel efficiency: for example, if tire pressure is 0.2 bar lower, fuel consumption can increase by 5%. Cold weather starts also consume more fuel. I’ve tested the difference between 92-octane and 95-octane fuel—the latter is slightly more efficient, but the difference is minor. Proper engine temperature management can also save a bit. The official data of under 8 liters is measured under ideal conditions; real-world figures are always slightly higher. Over time, planning routes to avoid peak hours can stabilize fuel consumption at 9 liters. By recording each refueling trip, I’ve found that smooth driving is effective in saving fuel. Overall advice: don’t obsess over the numbers—focus on driving comfort.
