I (facelift 2011) Overview:
Ford Edge (I (facelift 2011)). With 366 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1918 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. A sport utility vehicle offering higher ground clearance and versatile cargo space. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
2.0 (241 Hp) AWD Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers strong turbocharged performance for its size, providing ample power for daily driving and highway cruising, though AWD might slightly dull acceleration compared to FWD.
Fuel Economy
While not officially listed, expect moderate fuel consumption for an AWD SUV with this power, likely higher than its FWD counterpart but still competitive for a turbocharged engine.
