Ford Edge Titanium Elite Does Its Best Denali Impression

Ford recently used the North American International Auto Show to introduce the 2019 Edge and now the company has revealed the Edge Titanium with a new elite package.

Designed to appeal to wealthy consumers, the Elite package builds on the already well-equipped Edge Titanium and adds unique exterior features including additional body-color trim and exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels. The crossover has also has a modified front bumper and additional metallic accents.

While the styling changes are minor, the updated Edge boasts a new front fascia, a revised grille, and standard LED headlights. Designers also installed a new hood and a revised liftgate.

Interior changes are modest but include a redesigned center console and a new rotary gear selector. The Edge also gains some new driver assistance features such as Evasive Steering Assist, Post-Collision Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering.

Power is provided by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that develops 250 hp (186 kW) and 275 lb-ft (372 Nm) of torque. It is connected to a new eight-speed automatic transmission which helps to improve fuel-efficiency.

Of course, buyers looking for something sportier can opt for the Edge ST which has a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 engine with 335 hp (249 kW) and 380 lb-ft (514 Nm) of torque. The model also has a sport-tuned suspension, unique seats, and distinctive exterior styling.

The Edge Titanium Elite package will debut at the Chicago Auto Show later this week and it will likely go on sale this summer.
