The 2012 Ford Edge is a mid-size crossover SUV considered one of the top vehicles in its class because of its well-rounded nature.  It is characterized by its stylish exterior, wide range of features, quiet and roomy cabin, comfortable ride, and its composed handling. The size of the Edge is just right for most families and contributes to its popularity as one of the most sought-after crossovers in the country.

Digging deeper into the benefits of the 2012 Ford Edge, it is clear that this vehicle is designed with convenience as the top consideration because of its wide range of features which include:

In the 2012 Ford Edge It’s -”Look Ma No Hands” –  Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch

The 2012 Ford Edge is one of the first Ford vehicles to be equipped with the MyFord Touch and the SYNC in-vehicle voice-activated phone integration, entertainment, and navigation system.

With the Ford SYNC and MyFord Touch, drivers no longer need to fiddle through their bags to get their phone in order to make or answer calls, or find their mp3 players and gadgets in order to play them in the vehicle. MyFord Touch connects to all major gadgets such as mobile phones, mp3 players, USB drives and even SD cards to allow users to control them through the steering wheel buttons, the LCD touch screen, or even through voice commands.

With the Ford SYNC and MyFord Touch, users can easily make or answer calls, access multimedia files, ask for directions, organize driver console items, and even use their phones as a mobile router to enable wireless internet connectivity within the vehicle. Users can also install their own “apps” to add to their vehicle experience.

Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch are two outstanding systems that are perfect for car owners who want maximum convenience and enjoyment of their vehicle, maximum safety and seamless integration of the communication, entertainment, and navigation features which can be accessed or controlled without letting go of the steering wheel.

Fall in Love with the 2012 Ford Edge Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning

The Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning system is an automated cruise control system that controls the speed of the 2012 Ford Edge while cruising in traffic. The driver can select 4 preset distance settings which are used to control the speed of the Edge when it gets too close to the vehicle in front of it or too far. It maintains a distance between the Edge and the vehicle in front based on the settings chosen by the driver.

Collision warning automatically alerts the driver of possible imminent collisions by displaying warning alerts on the windshield as well as audio warning alerts. The brake sensitivity is automatically adjusted based on how imminent a collision is.

The Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning system can come in handy, especially when driving for long periods or after long stressful periods at work when the driver may become tired while behind the wheel driving home. It is not only a convenient driving feature; it also helps in avoiding accidents on the road.

2-liter EcoBoost Engine in the 2012 Ford Edge Delivers the Boost When You Need It

The advanced 2.0-liter twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) V6 EcoBoost engine provides a whopping EPA rating of 21 city miles per gallon and 30 highway miles per gallon. It delivers the power and performance necessary to run a crossover but with the fuel economy of a smaller vehicle. The 2.0-liter V6 EcoBoost engine can help Edge owners save hundreds or even thousands of dollars of fuel expenditures every year without having to give up power and performance.

With the 2012 Ford Edge You will Have Plenty of Room for Life’s Big & Little Errands

On top of everything else, the Edge has a whopping 68.9 cubic feet of cargo space– plenty of space to give larger SUVs a run for their money.

Ford Gains as Good News Abounds

This morning I did a quick Google search on Ford Motor Company. The headlines are amazing:

• Ford Motor Company’s Quick Lane Fastest-Growing Service Brand in the Industry
• Ford Considers $500 Million Investment in Michigan for Production of Hybrids
• Ford Motor Company will off new Fiesta starting at $13,995
• Ford Fusion Gets Top Marks, Company Stock Soars
• Ford Fusion Named “Motor Trend” Magazine’s 2010 Car of the Year
• Ford Vehicle Among Best in Highest Retained value
• Ford Puts Four Vehicles in Strategic Vision 2009 Total Value Awards –Focus, Mustang, Expedition and Super Duty F-250 and F-350.

And that was just over the last few weeks. As a Ford dealer, I see it at the dealership every day. People who just a couple of years ago wouldn’t have considered a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury are taking a look and as they say “Driving One.”

Whether it’s the new found recognition by the press that Ford makes the best vehicles in America, or the awareness that Ford refused to take any government bailout money, the fact it Ford delivers for today’s consumers like never before.

Ford has become the leader with vehicles that embody compelling styling, design excellence, smart technology, safety, fuel economy, low emissions, quality, and more.

As Motor Trend Magazine said in their article announcing the Fusion’s ascension to 2010 Car of the Year, the new Fusion is “better, smarter, nicer, prettier, comfier, leaner, meaner and greener in every way.” Also in contention were the all-new Taurus and the perennial Mustang.

Top to bottom the Ford, Lincoln Mercury line up fits the bill and will only get better.

Over the next few weeks, were going to take a look at each vehicle in the 2010 lineup and take a glimpse at what’s to come.

Thanks for your interest! If I can ever be of assistance in any way please let me know.
