2011 Ford Edge

The 2011 Ford Edge has far more chrome than is reasonable. Then again, it's the bold front grille that will help distinguish this crossover from the 15 million other crossovers and SUVs occupying the space between $25,000 and $40,000.

There's more to the significantly refreshed Edge than a controversial grille, but we imagine most consumers want to like the styling of what they drive. The 2011 Edge certainly has some new and attractive upscale touches, leading us to wonder whether there's enough space for the Lincoln MKX.

In front, the 2011 Edge has a giant chrome grille as well as restyled headlights and slim, vertical daytime running lights. A resculpted hood increases the impression of heft. Atop the Edge's front windshield, an antenna remains, as on the 2010 version.

 Not much has changed from the side view apart from the addition of new wheel styles. Out back, the taillights have been restyled -- gone are the pre-refresh clear and red Edge taillights. As before, the bottom of the lower bumper is painted black, though the body color/black edge is more dynamic on the 2011 model.

On the inside, there's simply no comparison between the 2010 and 2011 Edge. The new model's combination of wood and silver trim plus touchscreen controls appears to be a vastly improved cabin in which to spend morning and evening commutes. The gauge display for the 2011 Edge is also new and similar to that of the Fusion Hybrid.
