Happy days are here as Ford has begun introducing the coveted ST brand to its SUV lineup in the UAE. The first model to benefit from the aesthetic and performance upgrades is the all-new Edge, building its ever-growing popularity in the country.
The all-new Edge ST – Ford’s first SUV to be tuned by the Ford Performance team – features the most powerful V6 engine available in its class with a specially tuned 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 335 horsepower and 515 Nm of torque.
“The all-new Edge ST is a performance SUV with a track mentality,” said Adriaan Coetzee, Director, Product Marketing, Ford Middle East & Africa. “Bringing a sophisticated driving experience, and a host of new technologies, Edge sets a new standard in SUV excellence that fans will love to experience.”
Adding to its performance credentials, the Ford Edge ST is outfitted for dynamic handling with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, standard all-wheel drive with selectable traction control. Options include a performance brake package as well as a ST-tuned sport suspension setup.
From an aesthetic standpoint, the Edge ST features new front and rear styling, a wide mesh grille for optimal cooling, deep side skirts and dual-exhaust outlets. Large 21-inch wheels are standard and interior design cues on the steering wheel, seat backs and scuff plates provide a subtle reminder that this SUV isn’t your average Edge.
