Revamped Edge truly defined by modern sophistication

One of the leading automotive group and exclusive dealer of the Ford brand in Nigeria last week at the just concluded 20th Abuja Motorfair launched the new Ford Edge into the local market amidst pump and pageantry with individual, corporate fleet customers in attendance.

Described by the Ford dealership as an upscale sport utility vehicle (SUV) defined by modern sophistication, with the launch of the vehicle, Coscharis has once again enlarged the coast for SUV vehicles and increased the options for its customers to choose from a wide range of Ford SUVS that includes the Expedition, Explorer, Escape, Ecosport and now, the new Edge. There are plenty of smart new features which stand it out in its class.

The Edge maximizes space and never compromises on comfort. With its rear 60:40 split seats folded flat, it converts to a cargo hauler with ease. A convenient easy foldable seat release for the rear seat lets the occupants maximize cargo space with the touch of a button. Fold both sides of the seat back down for large objects. Or leave one side up to carry cargo and passengers side by side.

And if your hands are full as you approach the rear liftgate, only you need to do is just to kick your foot under the rear bumper, the hands-free foot-activated liftgate will rise on its own.

At the retooled Edge launch, Abiona Babarinde, general manager in charge of marketing and corporate communications at Coscharis Group said, “Ford has continued to thrill the world with enhanced new products born out of deep rooted research into the desires of automobile consumers around the globe. We at Coscharis will always see to it that our market never misses the opportunity to get its fair share of such highly innovative products”.

The launched model is equipped with quickshifting 8-speed automatic transmission and standard auto-start/stop technology. It reduces fuel consumption during stop- and- go city driving.

These drive enhancement features in both of the Ecoboost engines are available in the new 2019 Edge. Ford’s select-shift capability enhances your driving experience on all- wheel drive (AWD) new derivatives with racing-inspired paddle shifters.

All it takes is a few seconds to lose focus because according the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 94 percent of serious crashes are due to human error. To help you drive with confidence, the new variant comes with Ford Co- Pilot360.

This suite of 5 standard features including rearview camera with washer referred to as blind spot information system with cross- traffic alert ; precollision assist with automatic emergency braking; lane-keeping system; auto high-beam headlamps start helping the moment you begin backing out of your driveway.
