2007 Ford Edge
December 8th, 2006
As the 2007 Edge delves deeper into the CUV (crossover utility vehicle) category, and if Ford gets its own way, this brand new Fusion-based ride will serve as the icon of the burgeoning crossover community. Company executives point to the iconic status of the Mustang and Explorer, suggesting that the crossover segment begs for such a vehicle, and claiming that the Edge fits the bill.
In fact, they’re confident that more than 100,000 of these new wheeled icons will sell in the U.S. each year, taking their share of what Ford expects will be a three-million-strong segment within a few short years. Because of its role in this blossoming market, not to mention Ford’s need for a profitable hit, executives see the 2007 Edge as “the single most important launch of the year.”

Ford Motor Company will launch its all-new and highly anticipated 2007 Ford Edge crossover with a sticker price below $26,000, Cisco Codina, group vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, announced today at a meeting of the Midwest Automotive Media Association.
At the meeting Codina reaffirmed that between now and the end of 2008, 70 percent of the Ford, Lincoln and Mercury lineup by volume will be all-new or significantly freshened. That includes strong new vehicles in new segments like the Ford Edge, which goes on sale in November, as well as a new 2008 Ford Super Duty pickup, which will be revealed next week at the State Fair of Texas and will go on sale in January.

Ford is joining the growing list of automakers adding CUVs, crossover utility vehicles, to their lineup. The Ford Edge is a midsize SUV set top go on sale in fall. Edge will have three rows of seats and be built off of the new Ford Fusion platform. Other ties to Fusion can be found in the vehicle’s chrome three-bar front grille.
The 2007 Ford Edge features a panoramic sunroof, MP3-player jack, laptop storage space in the center console, and a fold-down front-passenger seat. A new 250-hp 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic is the sole powertrain option. Ford expects Edge to get fuel economy in the mid-twenties.
