Ford Edge Wallpapers and Pictures

The Edge is a premium mid-size crossover SUV (CUV) manufactured by Ford, based on the Ford CD3 platform — and marketed in slightly modified form as the Lincoln MKX. The platform is shared with Mazda CX-9 crossover, the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and the Lincoln MKZ sedans.

The Edge made its public debut at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January 2006, with production starting in the fall of 2006 as a 2007 model, with the first ones reaching dealerships just before December 25, 2006. The Edge (codename U387) is built at Ford's Oakville Assembly Complex in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

As a crossover vehicle, the Edge bridges the gap between minivans like the now discontinued Freestar, and truck-based sport utility vehicles such as the Explorer. The Edge officially slots below the Taurus X in Ford's crossover SUV lineup. The Edge implements Ford's front end design with a three bar chrome grille.

Ford Canada announced in June 2007, that a gasoline-electric hybrid version of the Edge will debut in the 2010 model year. The model is expected to use a new hybrid system from Ford, pairing Electric motor to a V6 engine.

Additionally, after public presentation in 2007, Ford has been carefully pointing on future production of its HySeries Edge. This vehicle uses a Hydrogen Fuel Cell along with plug-in charging of its lithium-ion battery pack, for a combined range of over 200 miles (320 km). The HySeries system was first introduced in the Ford Airstream concept from the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. A concept of the Ford Edge with the HySeries Drive was unveiled in the 2007 Washington DC Auto Show. The HySeries system is related to General Motors E-Flex platform. The E-Flex Platform was introduced in the 2007 Detroit Auto Show as the power train of the Chevrolet Volt concept.
