Ford this morning released a new artist’s rendering of the Ford Edge crossover utility vehicle it will show at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. “Edge’s bold, American design will turn heads in the CUV market – the fastest-growing vehicle segment – in a year that CUV sales are expected to surpass traditional SUVs,” the company said in a statement. “Much like Fusion has done for the mid-size sedan, the new Ford Edge will inject a healthy dose of American design and personality into the hot crossover market,” says Peter Horbury, Ford’s executive director of North America Design. Edge is powered by Ford’s new 3.5-liter V-6 engine and new 6-speed automatic transmission – which help deliver a dynamic driving character and impressive fuel economy. Edge goes on sale in fourth quarter 2006. (Design rendering by Ford’s Roger Kim.) (Click right image or click here to enlarge).
