Believe it or not the world is bigger than what you can see. It's actually good to know what other vehicles are being offered in other markets. Even more so in this case as it's a US-model car being offered to Euro countries as well.
The world is bigger as big as your porn collection.:crylaugh
ther cars offered is useless in SA context..no help crying over split milk

New Ford Edge officially launched in Europe
Ford's largest SUV sold in Europe gets a new 2.0-litre bi-turbo engine with 235bhp
The European-spec Ford Edge facelift has been officially launched ahead of its arrival on UK roads in 2019.
Ford’s biggest SUV sold in Europe has received a styling refresh inspired by the smaller Ecosport, with a more aggressive headlight design, with LED lights as standard and a new ovular grille at the front, as well as the disappearance of the characteristic light bar at the rear. A more conventional gloss-black extension of the glass is in its place, with larger separate rear light clusters.
The European car gets a 2.0-litre Ecoblue bi-turbo diesel engine at the top of the range, with 235bhp. Unlike the US, Europe won't get the 335bhp, 380lb ft 2.7-litre V6-powered Edge ST. The European Edge will have exclusively diesel engines, with the sportiest spec being ST-Line, which gets an exclusive suspension set-up and paddle shifters, in addition to black exterior trim, chrome exhaust tips and 20in alloys.
The Ecoblue engine has two turbos - one large and one small - that work together for greater low-end torque, while at higher revs the larger, lower-pressure turbo works alone for greater power. It's also available in 187bhp four-wheel drive and 148bhp front-wheel drive forms, while a new eight-speed automatic gearbox has been added to the Edge that can detect gradients and corners for more efficient and effective gear selection. Four trims feature on the new car - entry-level Trend, mid-range Titanium, Vignale and ST-Line.
More technology has been added to the Volkswagen Touareg rival, including Ford’s new Evasive Steering Assist, which mitigates crashes by helping the car steer around obstacles. Adaptive cruise control with lane centring and post-collision braking are now available in the range - the first time these have been offered in Europe.
Automatic gearbox-equipped cars also get a rotary gearshifter in place of the current car’s lever, as part of a wider redesign of the centre console. Wireless smartphone charging and an 8.0in touchscreen with Sync 3 infotainment system have also been added. A digital dashboard is new to the model and can be adapted to the driver's preferences.
SUVs are increasingly important among Ford's range - 2017 marked the brand's most successful year for the Ecosport, Kuga and Edge. The brand sold 16,000 Edges last year, and 230,000 SUVs in total.

Ford Edge Vignale 2018 review
Should I buy one?
What the updated Edge has on its side is a very good powertrain, a mature set of driving dynamics, plenty of cabin space and more toys and gadgets than most buyers will ever bother using. Its cockpit isn’t the most plushly appointed in this sector of the market and the badge on its prow certainly doesn’t have the draw of, for instance, Mercedes’ three-pointed star. Priced at £45,995, meanwhile, this Vignale model doesn’t have irresistible value on its side, and nor does the entry-level Titanium at £36,995.
This mid-life facelift isn’t enough to nudge the Ford Edge further up the 4x4 ranks, but it certainly is enough to stop it from slipping any further behind the opposition.

Ford Edge axed from UK sale just months after facelift
Ford confirms dealers have stopped taking orders for large SUV, with no replacement planned for Britain
Ford has stopped taking orders for the Edge in the UK after less than 1700 examples were registered last year.
The Skoda Kodiaq rival will be available to buy from dealer stock until the end of the year, according to the firm. The news comes less than six months after the facelifted version arrived in British showrooms. Ford issued a statement to Autocar, below:
“Edge will continue to be sold in seven key European markets, with vehicle availability for customers in all other European markets as long as stocks last. The decision to limit Edge availability to seven key markets is in line with our strategy aimed at strengthening the Ford brand and creating a sustainably profitable business in Europe, including by taking action to improve or exit less profitable vehicle lines.

I've checked Netherlands, France, Germany, Norway and Spain - none of the Ford websites have this listed. Curious where in Europe it is actually sold then.

Edge is pretty much only North American focused, I know the pre-f/lift was offered in more markets but I guess it was not a good seller in those markets.
