Ford Edge Titanium CD539 2019
The first generation Ford Edge was developed from the shared Ford-Mazda CD3 platform in 2007. The car was configured in the newly emerging Crossover market segment. The Edge shared the platform with the Mazda 6 and CX9, and the Ford Fusion (Mk I) and various Lincoln and Mercury siblings.
The second generation Ford Edge (CD539) debuted in 2015, migrating tho the CD4.2 platform (derived from the EUCD). CD4.2 was somewhat complicated, as it also supported the Ford SMax and Galaxy in Europe, both of which would be considered more as MAV (Multi Activity Vehicles) rather than Crossovers. As a Crossover, the Edge and U540 Lincoln MKX rode on larger diameter wheels and tires and had a taller, bluffer nose.
An additional derivative, the CD539C, developed for the China market, also deployed third-row seating, with a correspondingly more upright rear glasshouse and luggage door.
The Edge and MKX were both made available with transverse engine, configured in front or all-wheel-drive. A number of engine families were fitted, the 4-cylinder Ecoboost 2.0L (245 bhp / 183kW), 3.5L Cyclone V6 (280 bhp / 210 kW), 2.7 Nano Ecoboost V6 (315 bhp / 235 kW, or 335 bhp / 250 kW), 2.0L DW Diesel (180 bhp, 210 bhp / 130 kW, 160 kW), and 2.0L Panther Diesel (190 bhp, 238 bhp / 140 kW, 177 kW), depending on market.
The Edge received a facelift in 2019 (shown), hexagonal hatched hexagon grille design replacing the previous 3-bar design. The 2019 change also deleted the 3.5L Cyclone and DW Diesel, and upgrading the 2.7L Ecoboost V6 to 335 bhp (250 kW) and installing the Panther diesel.
