2008 Ford Edge
Prepare to cause a stir.
Fair warning: Edge’s bold design – especially that of the new Limited –
tends to attract admirers. And after the sporty stance, sleek lines and
crisp accents draw you in, Edge’s remarkable flexibility keeps you coming
back for more. New for 2008, a power liftgate is standard on Limited and
optional on SEL, making cargo-area access easier than ever. Have you been
searching for a crossover with striking style and supreme adaptability?
Welcome to the Edge.
Edge Limited in Redfire Metallic with optional equipment.
Seriously stunning
The ultimate style statement, these all-new 20" premium aluminum chrome-clad
wheels are optional only on Edge Limited.
CROWD
PLEASER
Edge’s optional Rear-Seat DVD Entertainment System features an 8-in. colour
LCD flip-down screen, an infrared remote control and 2 sets of wireless
headphones. Rear-seat passengers can use it to play everything from DVDs and
CDs to their favourite video games, when paired with your compatible gaming
system.
MOST
VERSATILE
Thanks to a multipurpose set of movable dividers, the standard centre
console inside Edge offers you more possible storage configurations than any
other vehicle in the class.* Large enough to store some types of laptop
computers, it also includes a concealed power point and a standard auxiliary
audio input jack for use with your personal MP3 player.
*Medium 5-Passenger CUV class with standard 6-cylinder
engine.
Experience its intuitive design.
The driver-centric styling of Edge’s interior puts the essential controls —
including the standard steering wheel-mounted cruise control, secondary
audio controls and a tilt/telescoping steering column — all within easy
reach. The available Audiophile® Sound System features a 6-disc in-dash CD
changer and 9 speakers, including an 8-in. subwoofer and a 190-watt
amplifier. It is sonic bliss. Another perk for the driver and front
passenger: Edge comes with standard heated front bucket seats to ward away
those early morning chills.
Exercise your interior options.
The new Edge Limited can transport items up to 2.44 m (8 ft.) long when you
fold down its standard EasyFold™ 60/40
split fold-flat rear seat and fold-flat front-passenger seat. Limited also
features heated 6-way power front seats and premium leather-trimmed seating
throughout. When you need to carry people, Edge still offers lots of cargo
room: 909 L (32.1 cu. ft.) behind the rear seat and 1971 L (69.6 cu. ft.)
behind the front seats with the rear seat folded. A handy Rear Cargo
Management System provides concealed storage under the rear
loadfloor inside every Edge.
Trust its innate stability.
Every Edge gets an extensive array of safety and security features including
our AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability Control™).
AdvanceTrac with RSC is an electronic stability enhancement system that uses
a vehicle-roll motion sensor to directly measure the vehicle’s roll-rate at
least 100 times every second, helping it decide when and how the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS), traction control and yaw control will be engaged. This
system helps in many situations, such as when you’re driving on slippery
surfaces or uneven ground, or making an emergency manoeuvre.
Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the
laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
STRONG
BACKBONE
Edge’s structural design, A-pillars and bumper-to-bumper flow-through rails
all help it manage energy in the event of a collision. The BlockerBeam®
front bumper underride protection system (a steel crossmember suspended
below and behind the front bumper) helps prevent other vehicles from sliding
under Edge in a frontal collision, while side-intrusion door beams and
energy-absorbing door-trim panels help enhance performance in the event of a
sideimpact collision.
ALL 6 AIRBAGS STANDARD
Every
Edge is equipped with front-seat side airbags,* plus the dual-stage front
airbags* in our class-exclusive Personal Safety System® (PSS) and the
side-curtain airbags* in our patented Safety Canopy® System. The PSS employs
a sophisticated Front-Passenger Sensing System that can identify whether a
passenger is present by approximating his or her weight. This allows the
system to send a signal to activate or deactivate the airbag accordingly.
The Safety Canopy System utilizes side-impact and rollover sensors to direct
deployment in certain types of side-impact collisions or rollover events and
provides coverage for outboard-seated occupants in both rows.
*Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear
seat.
