With comfortable seating for five and efficient gas mileage, there are plenty of reasons why the Ford Edge ranks as one of the most beloved vehicles in Western Michigan.
Since arriving on the market nearly 20 years ago, it has won numerous awards - not limited to being named a Top Safety Pick for the IIHS and Best Cars for Families per both AAA and Parents Magazine.
Whether you’re looking for a reliable vehicle for yourself, your family, or one that gives you peace of mind when passing down to your newly licensed teen, the Ford Edge is just one of those crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) that has so much to offer. Today’s blog will explore the Edge’s features in greater detail.
Safety Features That Deserve Top Recognition
As briefly mentioned above, the Edge has earned recognition for its safety features. As time has gone on, these safety features have continually advanced to meet the needs of Great Lakes drivers.
As such, with the Edge, you can expect the following advanced safety features available through Ford Co-Pilot360 technology:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: Scans the road ahead for the risk of a frontal impact; it applies brakes if you fail to take corrective action
- Lane-Keeping System: When you veer outside of your lane, the system will alert you via steering wheel vibrations; if it keeps happening, the system will tell you to pull over so you can take a well-needed rest
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering Assist: Set your speed and enjoy adaptive cruise control that will adjust when traffic in Northern Shores slows down or stops
- Automatic High-Beam Headlamps: Scans the road ahead and if oncoming headlamps are detected, will automatically adjust
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert: Detects and alerts you to vehicles traveling in your blind spot, as well as while backing out of a driveway or parking spot
- Rear View Camera: Provides a clear view of what’s behind and around you while backing up
Other safety details Hudsonville drivers will enjoy include Bi-LED headlamps and fog lamps. In fact, the 2023 model has been named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS when equipped with these Bi-LED headlamps. Details like this make the difference!
Cutting-Edge Convenience Technology for Your Drive

There’s SYNC 4A, which syncs up the apps on your smartphone to the infotainment center. Your phone will always maintain a charge, thanks to the available wireless phone charger. Drained batteries and charging cables are a thing of the past!
A Thoughtful Interior
Upon setting foot inside the Edge, you’ll see the large 12” touchscreen that isn’t just easy to use but also gives you insight into changing weather and traffic patterns, vehicle alerts, who’s calling, and so much more! This infotainment center was designed with a purpose and that purpose is to make your drive and life easier!
And speaking of making your life easier, did you know that the Edge offers an available hands-free liftgate? For those moments when your hands are full, just swipe your foot beneath the rear bumper to automatically unlock and open the rear door! Furthermore, in addition to making your life easier, the Edge does so thoughtfully by installing a Rotary Gear Shift Dial, which makes more space for storage, USB ports, and cup holders.
