Latest 2011 Ford Edge Models Will Appear in Chicago Auto Show 2011

Chicago -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Dec 13, 2010 -- Chicago Auto Show 2011 Date: 9-Feb-2011 to 10-Feb-2011

In 2010 Chicago Auto Show, 2011 Ford Edge seized the highlights of the visitors. Here we will introduce 2011 Ford Edge in detail.

Visitors saw the all-new 2011 Ford Edge crossover made its debut, along with the new Edge Sport model in 2010 Chicago Auto Show . Both come packed with class-leading technology and a range of new powertrains, which should see them maintain the Edge's top-selling position in the mid-size crossover market.

Maintaining the dramatic design and dynamic driving quality of the first-generation model, Ford engineers have focused on boosting the vehicle's fuel economy, reducing noise and vibration levels, and adding more quality materials and technology. One of the highlights is Ford's new MyFord Touch system, which replaces traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, crisp LCD screens and five-way controls like those found on cell phones and MP3 players.

Standard on the 2011 Ford Edge Limited and 2011 Edge Sport , the MyFord Touch system displays information using two 4.2-inch LCD screens flanking an analog speedometer and an 8-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the center stack. A five-way switch on each side of the steering wheel crossbar controls the information displayed on the corresponding instrument panel screens. The system also features connectivity for mobile devices via the SYNC function.

The lightspots of the show are the new powertrains, which include the arrival of a new 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. Ford claims the direct injected forced-induction engine offers similar performance to the outgoing model's 3.5-liter V-6 but with 15 percent better fuel economy.
