Adaptive Steering and the 2015 Ford Edge

First things first: The Order Bank for the 2015 Ford Edge is now open! So if you have been waiting for this moment, call Victory Ford at 563.875.2409 to schedule a time to meet with one of our wonderful Consultants to build and price one for you!

Haven't heard of the Ford Edge before? Let me give you some background.

The Ford Edge debuted in the Fall of 2006 as a 2007 Model. It is a Midsize 5-Passenger SUV that is larger than the Ford Escape, and its sister is the Lincoln MKX. Drivers have applauded it's roominess for both the front and back seat area. The Edge was given a minor face-lift in 2011, and now we're into the Second Generation for the 2015 Model.

The 2015 Ford Edge will come in four Trim Levels: SE, SEL, Sport and Titanium. Coming standard on all of these trim levels is the EcoBoost Engine.

Optional Features Include:

Start-Stop System for the 2.0T if you are looking to get the most out of your fuel economy (Please keep in mind that the EPA Fuel Economy Figures have not been released yet -Thank you Auto Blog!)



Adaptive Steering System
Adaptive Steering assists you with how much you turn your steering wheel while driving. Take a look at the video above to see how it works! This will definitely be a great feature to have!
Essentially the steering ratio changes to require less turns at lower speeds.


Air Curtain System
These will decrease the amount of turbulent air around the wheels and help with fuel economy.

Active Grille Shutters 
These help with the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency of the Ford Edge.

Victory Ford is definitely excited to see these roll off the assembly line and hit our Dealership in the Spring of 2015! Don't forget we can already build and price one out for you, so give us a call at 563.875.2409 if you have any questions for us!

A shout out to Auto Blog for writing such a great piece about the highly anticipated 2015 Ford Edge!
