2012 New Ford Edge with 240HP 2.0-Liter Ecoboost Review

2012 New Ford Edge

The 2012 Ford Edge is set to be available with four-cylinder EcoBoost power with the addition of a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and reports are emerging that the vehicle will be able to return some fairly impressive fuel economy numbers. According to Ford Inside News, the Environmental Protection Agency has concluded testing, and the Edge 2.0 EcoBoost has managed to eek out 30 mpg highway. That's three miles per gallon better than the comparable 3.5-liter V6-equipped 2011 model and two miles per gallon better than the Explorer 2.0-liter EcoBoost, whose 28 mpg highway figure was just made official last week.

In the Edge, the EcoBoost four-cylinder engine produces 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and a 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. Power is transferred to the wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.

Ford started offering its EcoBoost technology back in 2009 – the twin-turbocharged, direct-injection 355-hp 3.5-liter V6 first made appearances in the Taurus SHO and Flex SUV promising a serious power hike with no fuel penalty. Over one-third of Ford’s new-car buyers list good fuel economy as the leading decision-maker. Sure enough, the company expects to roll EcoBoost through the rest of its line – over 90 percent of models will have the technology as an option by 2013.

The Edge itself was heavily revamped for 2011, so all of its changes and upgrades carry through unchanged. The EcoBoost pricing starts at $28,635 for the budget SE, $31,940 for the mid-range SEL and $35,795 for the full-load Limited. Super-popular options include the MyFordTouch ($750) and the Panoramic Vista Roof ($1,595).

Worth it? On first blush, and without having a more extensive drive, including back-to-back with the V6, it’s hard to recommend. There’s certainly a very small percentage of the Edge’s market that is looking at, say, four-cylinder Toyota Venzas, or maybe Subaru Foresters? Better to have the option there if needed rather than letting a customer escape to another dealership.

For now, we’ll tag the Edge EcoBoost as just another marketing-driven project, but we do look forward to a more extensive test to have Ford prove us wrong.
