Ford Edge is Better in China | Daily News Byte

Maybe it’s consumer taste, but for years, American automakers have shown countries around the world more love than their own country. From designs to engines, sometimes it feels like we get the short end of the stick. Take the China market Ford Edge. Until recently, China got a slightly different version of the midsize crossover. But the new photos from Ministry of Information and Technology of China show that Ford gave the Edge a serious redesign. And it has to get to the US.

In China, automakers have to submit vehicle updates or redesigns through the Ministry of Information and Technology before they go into full production. China then makes those submissions available to the public. The images show the new Edge in its sleek and handsome style. upwards Up front is a tech-like egg crate grille flanked by thin headlights and light bars, similar to what we saw on the 2023 Escape.

Moving to the side, the beltline is tall and not noticeable until you get to the C-pillar. Something suddenly rose up almost like a small mountain or wave with a symbol before it went behind Edge. Unfortunately, no pictures have been released of the interior. But considering the design theme of recent Ford offerings in ChinaI’m sure it’s better than anything we can get here.

The surroundings are dark and transparent tail lights, lower reflectors and the model name on the rear hatch. It all comes together to make a nice crossover. Method more visible noticeably than the foamy Edge the US has been obtained for many years. If it looks bigger than the current Edge, too, that’s because it is this is. This new Edge measures 197 inches long, making it 1.8 inches shorter than the Explorer. It’s also 4.8 inches wider.

Not much has been said about engine options, but the model pictured is powered by a hybrid setup consisting of a 2.0-liter engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 271 horsepower.

Ford is set to officially unveil this new Edge at the Guangzhou Autoshow on December 30th. No word on whether the U or notS Edge will see the same design. But if you see this Ford, do it. We need more risk in vehicle design. It may step on the Explorer’s toes in how it’s grown, but it can sell hotcakes looking like this.
