Context

The Ford Edge is a mid-size crossover SUV that has been part of Ford's lineup since the 2007 model year. It seats five and is positioned between the Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer in Ford's SUV range [1]. The Edge was designed as a car-based, on-road-oriented crossover, offering a comfortable ride and spacious interior [3]. In North America, the Edge was sold through the 2024 model year, with production ending in April 2024 [1]. However, Ford continues to produce the Edge in China, where the third-generation model, called Edge L, was launched in 2023 [1]. The Edge has been a popular choice for families, offering a balance of utility and driving dynamics. Its discontinuation in North America reflects Ford's shift toward electric vehicles and other SUV models.
