The 2011 Ford Edge doesn’t bring radical change to America—at least not from the outside—but it’s a beefier take on the five-seat crossover that gave Ford new life after the Explorer fell to earth.
Ford’s calling this Edge a “refresh.” On the market five years already, the Edge has been pretty thoroughly refurbished but Ford doesn’t call it “all-new”—possibly, to keep all its new crossover converts in the fold. But all the Edge’s powertrains are new, and the interior’s graced with Ford’s MyTouch system, which mimics the sensitive interface you’d find on an Apple iPhone.
The 2011 Ford Edge will be offered in HySeries drive, which uses real world version technology that is currently used in Ford Airstream concept model. It was unveiled at 2007 Detroit Auto Show. It will use hydrogen fuel cell powered series hybrid powertrain. The weight of the model will be 1000 pounds more than the conventional Edge model.
