What is the ground clearance of the Edge?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Edge when fully loaded is 16cm. Here are the specific details about the Edge: Interior and Exterior: The Ford Edge PLUS features a newly designed iconic hexagonal grille that exudes a strong sense of aggression, complemented by a cutting-edge through-type rear design. The upgraded exterior styling not only highlights premium quality but also makes the vehicle appear more imposing and domineering. Features: The "Ford Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) System" equipped in the Ford Edge PLUS signifies that Changan Ford has officially introduced intelligent driving technology competition into a new battlefield dimension. This system helps drivers anticipate risks, thereby enhancing driving safety and traffic efficiency, offering consumers an unprecedented smart travel experience.
I've been driving the Edge for a while, and its ground clearance is around 190mm. This height is quite practical for daily city driving, such as going over speed bumps, small ramps, or rough roads, as the car rarely scrapes the undercarriage. With kids at home, I often take my family out for trips. On highways or rural roads, this clearance helps avoid accidental bumps. When fully loaded with passengers or luggage, the suspension may settle a bit, reducing the clearance to around 180mm, but it's not a major issue. Compared to some other SUVs like the CR-V or RAV4, the Edge is slightly higher, making it more suitable for light off-road conditions. I think the higher clearance has many advantages: it protects critical components like the oil pan and exhaust pipe, reducing maintenance headaches. Additionally, while the higher clearance may increase wind resistance at high speeds, affecting fuel consumption, the trade-off is worth it. Overall, it makes the car more stable, especially in rainy conditions with waterlogged areas, and improves passability.
