The Ford Edge is an SUV (D-segment in Europe) manufactured by Ford Motor Company. It was first introduced in 2007 and has 2 generations to date. This vehicle is positioned as a mid-size CUV between the Ford Escape and Ford Explorer. The Ford Edge shares its platform with the Ford Fusion sedan and is also produced under the name of Lincoln MKX/Nautilus.

The first generation Ford Edge was introduced at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. It was offered in several trim levels such as SE, SEL, SEL Plus (later known as Limited) and Sport. In its first stage it equipped only Duratec V6 gasoline engines. In 2011, at the end of its first cycle, Ford began using 2.0 EcoBoost engines.

In 2015, a second generation was launched with a new design and quite a few improvements at the technological level. This Ford Edge used a standard EcoBoost engine and had the option of a 3.5-liter V6 or a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. For the first time, Ford introduced the Edge in European markets, where it was sold as a premium large crossover with diesel engines and high-end trims. However, sales were severely affected due to the higher sale price the Ford Edge had in Europe, specially compared to its more affordable pricing in North America.

The Ford Edge ST was added during this generation. It is the highest finish in the entire range. It is a vehicle with a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine that generates 335 hp, slightly more than the previous Sport trim.
