2017 Ford Edge Titanium: Sophisticated Style for Central Illinois Living
Imagine starting your morning in Champaign, IL, where the energy of a vibrant college town meets the practical needs of a busy professional life. You slide into the drivers seat of the 2017 Ford Edge Titanium, finished in a stunning Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, and prepare for the day ahead. Whether you are heading to a faculty meeting at the university or meeting friends for dinner downtown, this Sport Utility vehicle provides the perfect balance of presence and utility. Its refined silhouette looks just as at home parked near the historic architecture of the city as it does navigating the open roads toward the quiet, peaceful surroundings of Shelbyville, IL. This is a vehicle designed for those who appreciate a premium feel without sacrificing the versatility required for Midwestern life, from weekend lake trips to the daily school run.
Turbocharged Efficiency and Refined Performance
Under the hood, the 2017 Ford Edge Titanium is powered by an EcoBoost 2L I-4 engine featuring gasoline direct injection and an intercooled turbo. This powerplant delivers a spirited 245HP, providing plenty of merging power for the commute between Decatur, IL and the surrounding communities. The 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift sequential shift control allows you to take manual command when the mood strikes, while the Front Wheel Drive configuration ensures a predictable and efficient driving experience.
The engineering behind the Edge focuses on a smooth, composed ride. It features a Strut Front Suspension and a Multi-Link Rear Suspension, both utilizing coil springs and an independent design to soak up pavement imperfections on rural routes or city streets. For those looking to maximize efficiency during stop-and-go traffic, the Engine Auto Stop-Start Feature helps conserve fuel by shutting down the engine when the vehicle is stationary. Combined with Electric Power-Assist Steering, the Edge feels nimble and responsive, whether you are maneuvering into a tight parking spot or cruising at highway speeds.
Integrated Technology for the Modern Commute
Staying connected is effortless thanks to the suite of technology integrated into the Titanium trim. The centerpiece of the cabin is the 8 inch primary display touchscreen, which serves as the hub for your media and vehicle settings. With AppLink, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smart device mirroring, your favorite navigation apps and playlists are always at your fingertips. The voice activated audio controls allow you to change the station or make a call without taking your eyes off the road, while Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity ensures seamless hands-free communication.
The driver is treated to a digital/analog instrumentation display that provides vital vehicle data at a glance. Passengers can also stay powered up with 2 USB ports and multiple power outlets located throughout the cabin. For those who appreciate high-quality sound, the Sony speakers and 12-speaker system provide a premium audio experience that makes every mile more enjoyable. Whether you are listening to a podcast on a long drive or enjoying the local radio, the speed sensitive volume ensures the audio levels remain consistent regardless of road noise.
Premium Interior Comfort and Versatility
The interior of the 2017 Ford Edge Titanium is a sanctuary of comfort, featuring Ceramic Leather front seat upholstery that provides a bright, airy feel to the cabin. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy heated front seats with 8-way power adjustments and 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring a perfect seating position for long treks across central Illinois. The Dual-zone front automatic climate control allows both occupants to set their preferred temperature, while rear under seat ducts and console ducts keep those in the back comfortable.
Practicality is woven into the luxury, with a Power Liftgate providing easy access to the cargo area. Inside, you will find 60-40 folding rear seats that can be reclined for passenger comfort or folded forward to expand the cargo space. The cabin is filled with thoughtful touches, such as Piano Black and Aluminum console inserts, Chrome and metal-look interior accents, and a Leather-wrapped steering wheel. With four 12V DC power outlets and a locking glove box, the Edge is prepared for everything from the daily commute to a cross-state road trip.
Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a paramount consideration in the Edge Titanium, which comes equipped with a total of 8 airbags, including driver and passenger knee airbags and the Safety Canopy System for both rows. When navigating busy parking lots in urban areas, the Back-Up Camera and rear parking sensors provide an extra set of eyes to help you avoid obstacles. The Brake Assist system and 4-wheel antilock brakes work in tandem to provide confident stopping power in various conditions.
For families, the MyKey restricted driving mode allows you to set parameters for younger drivers, promoting safe habits behind the wheel. The vehicle also features Hill Hold Control, which prevents the SUV from rolling backward when starting on an incline, and an Electronic parking brake for added convenience. With LED brakelights and perimeter approach lighting, the Edge ensures you are visible to others while providing a sense of security when approaching the vehicle at night.
Sophisticated Exterior Design
The exterior of the Edge Titanium is defined by its Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat paint and a Metal-Look Grille with chrome surround. The 19-inch painted aluminum wheels provide a planted stance, while the rear lip spoiler adds a touch of athletic flair to the Sport Utility body style. Functional elements like Active grille shutters improve aerodynamics, and the Body-colored power heated side mirrors feature integrated turn signal indicators for added safety.
The lighting package includes Projector beam halogen headlights with auto on/off control and delay-off functionality, ensuring the path ahead is always well-lit. Deep tinted glass provides privacy for rear passengers and helps keep the cabin cool during the summer months. From the chrome side window trim to the polished tailpipe finishers on the dual stainless steel exhaust, every detail of the Edge Titanium has been crafted to present a polished and professional image.
