Under the hood is a new 3.5L V6 engine equipped with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, and it produces 265 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Edge to skip up to 60 mph in only 7.6 seconds. And unlike a lot of the competition, the Edge has a six-speed automatic transmission.
The crossover wears bold styling and rides on a stiff unibody chassis with a suspension tuned for a remarkably smooth ride. Plenty of sound deadening materials keeps the ride quiet.
Sirius satellite radio, a rear entertainment system, a remote rear seat release, and a tow package that allows the Edge to haul a 3,500-pound trailer make this vehicle even more family friendly. A reverse sensing system, heated seats, and a large panoramic vista sunroof are other notable options.
