Arriving for the 2021 model year as a China-specific evolution of the second-generation platform, the Ford Edge PLUS overhauled the interior architecture with a monolithic dual-screen digital cockpit and premium seven-seat appointments. Tailored for family travel, dedicated Ford Edge maintenance ensures that this crossover SUV maintains its luxurious road presence, matching the cabin technology of the Toyota Highlander whilst preserving Ford’s composed highway dynamics.
Under the bonnet sits the proven 2.0 EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine developing 245 hp, mated to an 8F35 / 8F57 8-speed automatic gearbox in front-wheel-drive or intelligent AWD guise. While robust, the EcoBoost engine demands prompt synthetic oil changes to preserve the twin-scroll turbocharger and prevent intake valve carbon deposits. On all-wheel-drive derivatives, high summer temperatures and motorway runs risk PTU all-wheel-drive transfer case fluid cooking, while the Control Blade suspension geometry requires all four tyres to maintain identical tread depths.
