When the all-new 2016 Edge was revealed last year, critics were pleased by its muscular new look, abundance of new technologies, competitive pricing and new luxury trim level - Titanium. But a big piece of the puzzle was missing until now: fuel economy and power ratings.
Recently, Ford has released that data and we’ve got it here for you! Engines have been switched and revised, and a new engine has been added to the lineup. Just check out the following:
Last year’s base engine was a 3.5-liter V-6. This year, it’s a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with approximately 245 horsepower (more hp than last year’s optional turbo four-cylinder) and 270 lb.-ft. of torque.

Last year’s standard engine, the 3.5-liter V-6, is now optional (yes, its position has been swapped with the four-cylinder in a first-ever move). The naturally aspirated V-6 delivers 280 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque.

An all-new 2.7-liter turbo V-6 is offered on the 2015 Ford Edge Sport. Yep, it’s the same V-6 seen on the new F-150, but of course it’s tuned differently. The Edge Sport version provides 315 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft of torque, beating last year’s 3.7-liter V-6 which got 305 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque. Notice the huge jump in torque!

The 2015 Ford Edge goes on sale this spring at Grand Prairie Ford. Trim levels include the SE, SEL, Sport and new-this-year Titanium. The all-new, next-generation Edge also receives the following changes and highlights:
- New adaptive steering system included on Sport and Titanium trims
- Incredible safety tech available, including: adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning
- Smooth, quiet ride provided by overhauled suspension
- Now based on the Ford Fusion platform, the new Edge is taller and longer than the previous model, which results in greater leg- and headroom, as well as more cargo space
- Upgraded interior is more plush than ever before
