Major Options / Build: Adaptive Cruise Control, Bluetooth, Backup Camera, Blind Spot Monitoring, Parking Sensors, Heated Seats

Additional Description: The 2017 Ford Edge Sport can be equipped with some of the latest active-safety technology. But most features are optional rather than standard, available only on upper trim levels. Available safety systems include blind-spot monitoring, active lane control, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and a 180-degree front-end camera setup. Edges have a rearview camera and a driver's knee airbag. Inflatable rear seatbelts are optional. Top Edge models get a large, configurable instrument cluster to replace the usual gauge setup. Crash-test scores have been good. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave Ford's Edge a five-star overall rating, with five stars for individual tests as well. Crash-testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety resulted in Good scores, with the exception of an Acceptable rating for the more stringent small-overlap frontal-impact test. That score kept Edge from receiving a Top Safety Pick designation. Edge Sport adds power front seats, rear parking sensors, LED signature lighting, satellite radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated power mirrors. Options include the 2.7-liter V6 engine, heated seats, blind-spot monitoring, and navigation. Designers chose instead to give the Edge a clean, more spartan appearance. Few suggestions of the familiar tough-truck, hard-duty themes are evident. As a result, the Edge seems more likely to deliver longer-lasting appeal than some companions and competitors. Although the Edge cabin is subtle, its materials are nicely textured. Plentiful space for people and cargo adds to its appeal. So do the soft-touch surfaces and the comparatively tall dashboard, though considerable glossy black trim is used. Quick, nicely weighted steering helps give any Edge an eager feel. Steering and ride control don't differ much from the related Fusion sedan. Ford's electric power steering has ample on-center feel and tracks neatly on the highway. Parking maneuvers can be accomplished without struggling back and forth with the steering wheel. Adaptive steering, standard Sport models, amplifies effort at lower speeds. Brakes can seem a little touchy at times, but they produce reassuring halts. Edge's ride is carefully composed and admirably controlled. The combination of a stiff body and an independent suspension translates to precision road feel and excellent body stability. Performance is satisfying with any engine. Budget-minded buyers should appreciate the standard 315-horsepower, 350 pounds-feet turbo four, which develops smooth power even at low-end speeds, with little turbo lag. Edge Sport delivers a pleasant drive, helped by sharp road behavior.Air filtration, Front air conditioning: automatic climate control, Front air conditioning zones: dual, Rear vents: second row, Airbag deactivation: occupant sensing passenger, Front airbags: dual, Knee airbags: dual front, Side airbags: front, Side curtain airbags: front / rear, Side-curtain airbag rollover sensor, Antenna type: diversity / mast, Auxiliary audio input: Bluetooth / USB / iPod/iPhone / jack, In-Dash CD: MP3 Playback / single disc, Premium brand: Sony, Radio: AM/FM / HD radio / touch screen display / voice operated, Radio data system, Satellite radio: SiriusXM, Speed sensitive volume control, Subwoofer: 1, Total speakers: 11, Watts: 390, ABS: 4-wheel, Braking assist, Cornering brake control, Electronic brakeforce distribution, Electronic parking brake: auto off, Front brake diameter: 13.6, Front brake type: ventilated disc, Power brakes, Rear brake diameter: 12.4, Rear brake type: disc, Armrests: rear center with cupholders / rear folding, Dash trim: aluminum, Door sill trim: aluminum / illuminated scuff plate, Floor mat material: premium carpet, Floor material: carpet, Floor mats: front / rear, Foot pedal trim: aluminum, Shift knob trim: leather, Steering wheel trim: leather, Ambient lighting, Assist handle: front / rear, Capless fuel filler system, Cargo area light, Center console: front console with armrest and storage, Cruise control, Cupholders: front / rear / 8, Keypad entry, Memorized settings: 2 driver / driver seat / liftgate / side mirrors / steering wheel, Multi-function remote: proximity entry system / trunk release, One-touch windows: 2, Overhead console: front, Power outlet(s): 12V front / 12V rear, Power steering: variable/speed-proportional, Power windows: lockout button, Push-button start, Reading lights: front / rear, Rearview mirror: auto-dimming, Retained accessory power, Steering wheel: power tilt and telescopic, Steering wheel mounted controls: audio / cruise control / multi-function / paddle shifter / phone / voice control, Storage: accessory hook / cargo net / cargo tie-down anchors and hooks / door pockets / front seatback / organizer / sunglasses holder, Universal remote transmitter: garage door opener, Vanity mirrors: dual illuminating, Liftgate window: fixed, Rear door type: power liftgate / sensor-activated, 4WD type: on demand, Axle ratio: 3.16, Center differential: mechanical, Battery: maintenance-free, Battery saver, Active grille shutters, Door handle color: body-color, Exhaust: dual tip / integrated, Exhaust tip color: chrome, Front bumper color: body-color, Grille color: black, Mirror color: body-color, Rear bumper color: body-color, Rear spoiler: roofline, Rear spoiler color: body-color, Window trim: black, Connected in-car apps: Google POIs / Google search / app marketplace integration, Infotainment: Android Auto ready / Apple CarPlay ready / SYNC, Infotainment screen size: 8 in., Clock, Compass, Digital odometer, External temperature display, Fuel economy display: MPG / range, Gauge: tachometer, Instrument cluster screen size: 4.2 in.
