5 reasons to buy the 2020 Ford Edge
1. Ford co-pilot 360™
Ford's advanced driver-assistance system was first launched with the 2019 Ford Edge, and it carries over to the 2020 model year. Impressively, Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard on the Edge and includes a rearview camera, automatic high-beam headlights, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and a driver-monitoring system.
2. Eight-speed transmission
In model year 2019, the Edge was redesigned from top to bottom and took its performance to the next level. Replacing the six-speed automatic transmission with an eight-speed automatic transmission, Ford increased the fun factor on this SUV. In addition, there is a rotary gear-shift dial integrated into the center console, freeing up room and making operation easier.
3. Plenty of space
The 2020 Ford Edge is ready to serve up a roomy 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space and five comfortable seats. If you're after maximum room, fold the second row down to achieve a total of 73.4 cubic feet of space. In its class, the 2020 Edge has notable capacity for you, your family, and your furry friends. Getting in and out is easy-peasy, and a low cargo floor gives your back a break when you're loading in a bag of groceries, camping gear, or sports equipment.
4. Enhanced active park assist
Even if you're not the handiest at parallel parking, the 2020 Ford Edge has got you covered. It's very intuitive, just activate the park assist, shift, accelerate, and brake, and the 2020 Edge will be your digital chauffeur. Alongside the active park-assist technology, Park Out Assist detects vehicles parked too close to you and helps you navigate around them with confidence. And if that wasn't enough, the size of the Edge lends itself to nimble maneuvering all over town too.
5. The ST model gives you a little extra vroom
The sport trim of the 2020 Edge, the ST, is jam-packed with all of the technology you can expect at other trim levels, but with an added set of sporty features like reclining front bucket seats embossed with the ST trim's logo, a 10-way power driver seat, heated front seats, and driver-seat memory. On top of that, the Edge ST sports both AWD and the 335-hp 2.7L twin-turbo V6 engine as standard. The ST trim also gives you a Class II Trailer Tow Package, making it possible to tow up to an estimated 3,500 lbs. with the Ecoboost engine when properly equipped.
