Ford Edge: History & Fun Facts

The Ford Edge reads as a smoother, lower shape than a boxy SUV - a sloped roofline, a wide low grille, and a stance that sits closer to a tall car than a truck. That silhouette is what separates it from truck-based SUVs on the page, and it made the Edge an easy shape to spot in any parking lot.

Filling the Gap Between Escape and Explorer

Ford introduced the Edge for the 2007 model year to sit between the compact Escape and the larger Explorer, giving buyers a roomy two-row crossover without three rows of seats to manage. It quickly became a volume seller by offering SUV-style cargo space on a comfortable, car-like unibody platform.

Two Generations, One Ontario Plant

The Edge has had two generations: the original from 2007-2014 and a redesigned version from 2015-2023. Every Edge built for North America came from Ford's Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, a facility that has produced the model for its entire run.

Shared Bones With the Fusion and Lincoln MKX

The first-generation Edge rode on Ford's CD3 platform, shared with the Ford Fusion sedan and the Mazda6, while the second generation moved to the related CD4 platform also used by the Lincoln MKX and later Nautilus. That shared engineering kept the Edge's ride comfortable and car-like despite its taller SUV body.

The Only Ford Edge ST

In 2019 Ford added the Edge ST, the first and only performance version of the model, powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 making 335 horsepower. It paired SUV practicality with genuinely quick acceleration, a rare combination in the mid-size crossover class at the time.

Standard Turbo Power Across the Lineup

Every Edge trim used a turbocharged EcoBoost engine, starting with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the standard powerplant. That made the Edge one of the first mainstream crossovers to drop naturally aspirated engines entirely in favor of turbocharging across its whole lineup.

Adaptive Steering and Driver-Assist Tech

Later Edge models offered Ford's adaptive steering system, which varies steering response based on speed, along with a suite of driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Those systems arrived years before they became common across the rest of the mid-size crossover segment.

The End of the North American Edge

Ford stopped building the Edge for the United States and Canada in 2023, folding its role into the growing Explorer and Escape lineup, though a version continued in China under a joint venture. That production run makes this coloring page a look back at a shape that defined mid-size crossover styling for over 15 years.

A Two-Row Layout Buyers Preferred

Many mid-size crossover buyers never wanted a third row of seats in the first place, and the two-row-only Edge answered that directly with a larger cargo hold behind the back seat than most three-row rivals could offer once their third row was folded flat. That simplicity was a big part of the Edge's steady sales run.

Panoramic Roof and Cabin Tech

Top Edge trims offered a panoramic vinyl-and-glass moonroof stretching over both rows of seats, along with a large center touchscreen that grew with each redesign. Those features helped the Edge compete on comfort even after rivals from Honda and Toyota added extra seating rows of their own, and the wide glass panel became one of the most requested options on upper trims.
