This is the new Ford Edge. Previously a US-market vehicle. This is the EU version. No mention yet if it's coming to SA.
"The all-new Ford Edge upscale sport utility vehicle (SUV) delivers premium levels of comfort, sophisticated driver assistance features and class-leading driving dynamics to greater numbers of customers in Europe's best-selling vehicle segment.
Ford's refined and boldly styled new flagship SUV for Europe offers technologies including:
Active Noise Control, which works like noise-cancelling headphones to counteract unwanted noises in the cabin
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, which can apply the brakes to avoid collisions with other vehicles or even pedestrians
Ford Adaptive Steering, which automatically adjusts the steering ratio according to speed to optimise manoeuvrability and precision
The all-new Ford Edge sets new standards in its class for interior space; features high quality materials throughout the finely crafted interior; and offers comfort and convenience features including heated and cooled front seats and a panoramic roof.
Ford has developed the Edge to take the stress out of driving in town or country with sophisticated parking technologies that can locate and steer into or out of spaces hands-free; Front Wide-View Camera technology that can see around corners even when drivers cannot - reducing stress and potentially helping avert collisions; and standard Intelligent All Wheel Drive technology for optimised traction in slippery conditions. Powerful and fuel efficient diesel engines that deliver 5.8 l/100 km (48.7 mpg), 149 g/km CO2 and up to 210 PS make owning a large, upscale SUV more affordable than ever.
"The spacious and high-tech Ford Edge responds to our European customers' demands for a more premium Ford SUV," said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe. "Offering cutting-edge style with commanding presence and high specification including Ford Intelligent All Wheel Drive, the Edge makes advanced technologies and premium quality more accessible to Europe's growing numbers of SUV customers."
Ford plans to sell more than 200,000 SUVs in Europe this year - a 200 per cent increase compared to 2013. Consumer demand for SUVs is growing; last year the SUV segment became the best-selling segment in Europe for the first time with a 24 per cent increase year-on-year. Registrations of vehicles in the Edge's mid-size SUV segment grew 42 per cent year-on-year."
