The 2011 Ford Edge crossover has finally hit the open roads and we have excellent photos that show testing is well under way.
It's seems like the Edge may be getting a "tougher" look for '11 model year. Underneath the camouflage, we can see two bars running across the grill that look more truck-like than the current model. It also appears there is a chrome ring running around the entire grill opening. We're surprised to say the entire grill area almost has a Super Duty look to it. New projector headlights and a lower fascia that resembles the 2010 Fusion Sport are also visible. In back we can see the Edge will get new, chrome-ringed taillights. A new bumper may also be in store. It appears the interior is getting an upgrade as well since a large piece of black camouflage is draped over the entire dash. It is expected this new Edge, and the Lincoln MKX, will get turbocharged, EcoBoost engines. Whether this motor ends up being the twin turbo 3.5L found in the MKT and MKS, the rumored 4-cylinder EcoBoost motor, or otherwise, remains to be seen. What you can count on is a significant increase in fuel economy for these CUVs.
