It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged engine in the Edge is a V6 engine, with a maximum power output of 237 kW, a maximum torque of 503 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5250 rpm, and a maximum torque speed ranging from 2500 to 4000 rpm.

I've driven the Ford Edge a few times and was really impressed with its engine, especially the 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder. The power output is quite strong, with around 250 horsepower and ample torque, making both city starts and highway acceleration smooth and responsive. The EcoBoost technology utilizes turbocharging and direct fuel injection to balance performance and fuel efficiency, achieving approximately 9-10L/100km. In real-world driving, engine noise is well controlled, and the newer models have further optimized NVH to reduce vibrations. Long-distance driving feels comfortable, making it suitable for young people who enjoy a sporty feel. Maintenance is also hassle-free, with readily available parts and low failure rates. For those with higher demands, the 2.7L V6 version offers more horsepower, ideal for towing or off-road adventures. Its overall reliability is the main reason I recommend it.
