2014 ford edge release date

Overall, the 2014 ford edge has changed very little since its last makeover in 2011. The latest design has better materials  inside, with softer-touch plastics and a finer aesthetic appeal, combined with less blocky shapes inside.



At the base level, the Edge moves briskly with its 285-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic. The Sport model upgrades to a 3.7-liter making 305 hp, as well as upgraded handling, while those looking for better fuel economy will want the new 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four, rated at 240 hp.

Performance
A 285-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 is standard on the Edge SE and SEL; it’s torquey enough to take advantage of the six-speed automatic that’s standard across the Edge lineup, and the transmission’s now fitted with sport-shift modes.
Overall, the Edge handles decently well; it’s more reassuring and buttoned-down than sport-utes like the Expedition, but just can’t respond like a sports sedan, with its height and weight. Not even the Sport model,
Safety
Among the standard features are full-length curtain airbags and stability control with integral hill-start assist, which keeps the Edge from rolling backward at stops. The stability system also factors in trailer sway control, adapted from Ford’s F-150 pickup trucks to correct for the wagging induced by towed loads.
