The 2010 Ford Edge is more than just an attractive vehicle. It's noted for its long list of standard safety features, strong crash test scores, comfortable drive, and quiet and roomy cabin.

The Edge has a stout chassis that provides a nice balance of ride comfort and handling. There's plenty of room when accommodating five passengers and its cabin is the class leader when it comes to comfort and noise isolation. There's also an abundance of standard and available optional features, such as Ford's newest Sync and Sirius Travel Link technologies, that aren't available with other manufacturers.

Standard Features And Options:

The 2010 Ford Edge is a five-passenger crossover SUV offered in four trims: SE, SEL, Limited and Sport.

2010 Ford Edge Limited

Standard features on the already well-equipped base SE model includes full power accessories, 17 inch alloy wheels, blind spot mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, reclining backseats, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, and a four-speaker stereo with CD/MP3 player and an auxiliary audio jack.

Also available on the SE is an optional Convenience Package that adds rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, an auto-dimming mirror, steering wheel audio controls, and a keyless entry keypad.

The SEL model adds all of the Convenience Package features, plus foglamps, 18 inch alloy wheels, a 6-way power driver seat, a trunk-mounted second-row folding seat release, upgraded cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, upgraded interior trim, satellite radio, an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, and a trip computer.

Available as an option on both the SE and SEL is Ford's much acclaimed Sync electronics interface for cell phones and MP3 players. There's also a Leather Comfort Package for the SEL that includes leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a power passenger seat.

The Edge Sport model adds 20 inch chrome-clad wheels, upgraded tires, different front and rear fascias, Alcantara faux-suede upholstery, contrasting stitching, ambient interior lighting, and the Sync system. The Sport Premium Package adds everything in the Leather Comfort Package (except the leather), plus a power liftgate, heated mirrors, and driver memory functions.

Also available as an option are 22 inch wheels with a unique suspension tune.

The Limited model includes all the SEL, Leather Comfort Package and Sport Premium Package features except the power liftgate. Options for the Edge Limited include 20 inch wheels and a special interior trim (Interior Appearance Package).

Available stand-alone options for the SEL, Limited and Sport include remote ignition, a panoramic sunroof, a power liftgate, a rear DVD entertainment system, and a navigation system with voice activation, real-time traffic and weather, digital music storage, and DVD audio and video capability.

Engines, Powertrain And Gas Mileage:

Powering all 2010 Ford Edge models is a 3.5 liter V6 engine that generates 265 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with a six-speed automatic transmission (a manual transmission is not available).

All models come standard with front-wheel drive, but all except the SE offer optional all-wheel drive. With the AWD, power is sent to the front wheels until slippage occurs, and is then sent to the wheels with optimum traction.

Towing capacity is 3,500 pounds when properly equipped and the Edge goes from a standstill to 60 mph in a respectable 8.1 seconds.

The EPA estimated gas mileage for a front-wheel-drive Edge is 17 mpg city and 24 mpg on the highway, while an AWD comes in at 15 mpg city and 22 highway. Both are about average for midsize crossover SUVs.

Safety:

Standard safety features for all 2010 Edge models include antilock disc brakes (ABS), stability control with rollover avoidance logic, blind spot mirrors, front-seat side airbags, and full-length side curtain airbags.

In government crash testing, the 2010 Edge was awarded five out of five stars for side impact testing for both front and rear passengers. In frontal impact tests, the Edge received five stars for driver protection and four stars for the passenger.

Interior:

The cabin of the 2010 Edge is attractive, comfortable and user-friendly. It's telescoping steering wheel, many storage bins and reclining rear seats are big contributors to its roomy and airy feel, which can be further enhanced with the optional glass Vista Roof.

Storage capacity is a decent 32 cubic feet with the backseat in use, but folding down the second row maximizes cargo capacity at 69 cubic feet.

Drive:

The 2010 Edge is perhaps most noted for its comfortable and quiet ride. The standard V6 provides strong acceleration and the Edge handles road bumps and ruts with little fanfare. This carlike SUV drives with capable handling and a solid feel.
