What is the curb weight of the Edge in tons?
2 Answers
The curb weight of the Edge ranges between 1.85-2.06 tons. Factors affecting vehicle curb weight: A vehicle's weight is largely influenced by its displacement and length, including the materials used. Generally, vehicles with smaller displacements use lighter engines. Compact cars are lighter than larger vehicles, and differences in components such as chassis, tires, sound insulation materials, and seat materials can all contribute to variations in vehicle weight. Methods to reduce vehicle weight: Utilize lighter materials such as aluminum alloys and carbon fiber; in design, optimize structural design to reduce the use of excess materials while ensuring structural rigidity, thereby saving costs by reducing weight.
Recently, I drove the Edge to drop my kids off at school and felt that this car is very sturdy, with a curb weight ranging between 1.8 to 2.0 tons, averaging around 1.9 tons. On the highway, the body remains stable without easily swaying, especially when taking curves—the steering responds obediently with just a turn, which is thanks to the stability brought by its weight. When going out with my family, the trunk has no problem fitting all our luggage, with enough space for tents and picnic baskets. The key point is that the tire grip is excellent on rainy days, making driving much more reassuring without worrying about skidding. From a daily-use perspective, this weight is quite suitable for family users—both safe and practical—though you need to be careful about parking positions, avoiding slopes to prevent rolling. Overall, the Edge isn’t the lightest in its SUV class, but it drives comfortably without feeling burdensome.
