According to internal sources from Changan Ford, the 2021 Ford Edge will be launched on December 22 and is expected to be renamed as Edge Plus. Here are more related details: Exterior Introduction: The Edge Plus does not feature significant exterior changes compared to the current model. The front grille area has been enlarged and further connected to the headlight clusters, with a mesh-like decoration inside. The fog light area layout has also been slightly adjusted for a sportier look. At the rear, the chrome trim has been moved above the taillight clusters, with no other modifications. The new model focuses on upgrading the interior design, adopting a Mercedes-style dual-screen setup on the dashboard, which is expected to improve operational convenience and smoothness. Configuration: The Edge Plus mid-range and higher trims come equipped with L2 autonomous driving assistance and a BO sound system. Additionally, the vehicle has improved rear legroom and enhanced seat comfort, still offering 5-seat or 7-seat versions. As a yearly update model, the powertrain is not expected to be adjusted, continuing to feature a 2.0T or 2.7T engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As an automotive history enthusiast, I have studied the entire development process of the Ford Edge. It can be said that its first generation was launched in 2006, which was a new model introduced by Ford to respond to the SUV boom in North America, and it began sales as a 2007 model year. I remember that at the time, it focused on spacious interiors and powerful engines, receiving positive market feedback. Later, in 2014, the second-generation Edge was officially unveiled, primarily to upgrade technology and improve fuel efficiency. When it launched in China in 2015, it became a popular choice for many families. Recently, the third-generation Edge showcased its concept car in 2023 and is expected to officially launch in 2024, adding innovative features such as intelligent driving systems. Ford's update cadence always keeps the Edge competitive, as refreshing the model every 5-6 years helps it keep up with changing consumer demands.
