2017 Ford Edge

It really isn't that difficult to understand why Ford gave this family hauler the name: EDGE.  There aren't many crossovers out there that can match what this vehicle offers and just hits that “sweet spot” in your drive times.  This two ton plus SUV drives like a sedan and is so easy to park. 

The exterior styling is sleek and sophisticated with the squinty headlamps in that wide and assertive stance.  The Ford Edge looks great coming or going.  The trustworthy organization Consumer Reports stated that the Ford Edge is: “Vastly improved.  The second-generation Edge carries itself like a pricier European SUV.”  They also gave the Edge one of their coveted “Check Marks” for a Recommended Vehicle with high marks in customer satisfaction. 

Do your own due diligence and check out the Edge with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, LA or call the dealership at 337.239.3434 and take your expectations for a drive.  You and yours will quickly discover the Edge delivers a confident, steady, comfortable and quiet ride.  Ask an owner and they will probably tell you that their Edge is just as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in.  When you slide into those wide and comfy seats, you will think you are in a luxury brand with so much room and amenities to enjoy. 

At your fingertips is Ford's new Sync 3 touch screen infotainment system with its simplified interface and quicker response times; all for your communication, entertainment and safety desires.  Also available is the Sony Audio system that will just rock you; this uncommonly handsome crossover offers a choice of what is under the stylish hood. 

You could have the very fuel-efficient 245 hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four or the popular V6 with the 3.5-liter that delivers 280 lively horses.  Want some zip in your trips, then test drive the twin-turbo charged EcoBoost V6 that releases 315 thoroughbreds with an awesome 350 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque.  This V6 will get you to 60mph in a blink over six seconds and is also available with the popular Ford Edge Sport. All models use a smooth shifting six-speed automatic transmission, plus front wheel drive is standard on most models with All-Wheel drive just for the asking.  The new adaptive steering system is offered for the first time on the Titanium trim model and is standard on the Sport. 

The abundance of people room it has a copious cargo area.  Since you don't have to work around a third seat, there is lots of space for your foursomes’ golf equipment or those trips to the big box stores.  Everything just comes together when owning the Ford Edge from luxury, technology, styling to performance. 

Make the short drive to Hixson Ford and be prepared for an enjoyable experience.  The bet is on you will leave with a smile, not only because you put that “fun factor” back into your drive times, but for the great deal you received.  Now couldn't be a better time.
