2011 Ford Edge – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nAs dutiful American consumers, we’ve been taught to believe that choice is good. To that end, the splintering of the automotive market into different niches (four-door coupes, small panel vans, high-riding hatchbacks, etc.) is a positive development for buyers. But while the range of total models from automakers has been increasing, individual variation within a given model range has seemingly been reigned in, from a drastic reduction in build combinations of light-duty pickups to the availability of engines and ala carte options in everyday vehicles. Standing in direct contrast to this trend, however, is the 2011 Ford Edge<\/a> crossover.<\/p>\n

Whereas the first-generation Edge has lived since 2006 with a 3.5-liter V6 as its sole drivetrain, the 2011 model will offer no fewer than three<\/em> powertrain choices. For 2011, the 3.5-liter engine will live on as the Edge line’s bread-and-butter, but it is being joined by Ford’s first production application of a new EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo, as well as the larger 3.7-liter V6 for the popular Edge Sport. In the case of the 3.5-liter, it produces 285 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque, while the Sport’s larger 3.7 Ti-VCT V6 delivers 305 ponies and 280 torques on 87 octane. Ford is not yet releasing power and economy numbers on the EcoBoost engine, but it promises “class-leading” fuel efficiency, noting that the new powertrain should eclipse the original 2006 Edge by some 30 percent.<\/p>\n

Follow the jump<\/a> to find out what else has changed for the Edge, as well as Ford’s official press release.<\/p>\n
