silvrsvt Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 https://fordauthority.com/2023/02/next-generation-ford-edge-to-offer-st-line-trim-in-china/ I like the front, but the rest of it is just generic and that C pillar kick up looks stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Not overly impressed. The front end is good and the little things like a new IP and console and door handles are good. Not much to say other than that. Edited February 7, 2023 by Hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It's ok, though I find the taillights weird. And as mentioned above, I hate that kick up by the c-pillar. My biggest problem with it is that it uses the Edge name.....it's just not an Edge to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeluxeStang Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) If they had kept the front end, which looks great imo, and used side surfacing similar to this, but obviously larger, and maybe a bit edgier (pun totally intended) it would have looked fantastic. There's just no synergy. The front end is sharp and strong looking and the side is lumpy and soft.

92merc Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Well, the Chinese Edge looks better than the 2024 North American Edge. See picture below. ----> Edited February 7, 2023 by 92merc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nissan Puke is hardly the vehicle I'd use for styling inspiration lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer ones are actually quite good looking, and for most people, it's the front end they don't like. But I'm focusing on the side. It's muscular, and sport, it's what the edge styling should be. How ironic that the last few edge designs seem to have lost all their edginess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The don't sell the Juke in the US any more...maybe your thinking the Kicks? Which I don't think I've ever seen one on the road yet...

tbone Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 That rear kick up destroys the look of this vehicle for me. The design doesn’t look cohesive with that styling element. I would be curious to see how this would sell here, a version not built in China though. It seems there are plenty of vehicle models that don’t appeal to me that sell well in the US. This would certainly be a different product for Ford, styling wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I don't like it at all. Every thing about the styling is just awful. It looks like every piece of exterior was designed by different people who didn't communicate with each other and weren't sure what the end result was supposed to look like. That product can stay where it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) The front of the Chinese Edge doesn’t match the styling of the rest of the vehicle, it looks like it was transplanted from another vehicle, that and the new door skins hiding an old vehicle. Just another example of why Ford is in trouble in China, the disconnect from buyers is shocking. Why would buyers ever look at this when there’s a veritable smorgasbord of better, fresher vehicles.

Its not that at all...its based off the EVOS Just the EVOS is overall a better design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I’m bumping up against that tuckster 3-row utility that’s a modern stationwagon versus Evos that’s more desirable to the 2-row crossover folks…..that would make a great start for a next gen Mach E Hive the Edge the exact nose treatment of Evos and I’m onboard, so lm just minor detail….

joseodiaga4 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 2024 Ford Edge L Officially Debuts In China With, Oh, Edgy Styling The Edge L is technically a successor to the Edge Plus and has a three-low layout with 2+2+3 seating. As you can probably tell, it's a rather large vehicle, bigger than another locally sold SUV, the Equator. Indeed, it stretches at a stately 196.9 inches (5,000 millimeters) long, 77.2 in (1,961 mm) wide, and 69.8 in (1,773 mm) tall. It carries a 2,950 mm (116.1 in) wheelbase and rides on alloys as large as 21 inches. https://www.motor1.com/news/654202/2024-ford-edge-l-debut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 If only it didn’t have that rear quarter kick up they could have had something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I'm not sure of the slotting of this vehicle-it is only 2 inches shorter and narrower then an Explorer?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Not a fan of the kick up, but I could live with it personally. But with the US Explorer, the L just wouldn't be needed here. We need an Edge replacement. I'd like to see a mid-sized ICE CUV continue for awhile yet in the US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's weird. the old Edge L, I could understand, as it was our edge with some added length. This doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they know what their existing buyers want, it’s easier to sell more room as a positive and I don’t think that detracts from Chinese Explorer buyers either….
