The Ford Edge is a new Crossover SUV to be launched in mid-late 2006. It is based on the Ford CD3 Platform , which is also used by the Edge's near-twin Lincoln MKX crossover, and also the Ford Fusion , Mercury Milan , and the Lincoln Zephyr / Lincoln MKZ sedans. This platform was originally launched on the Mazda6 sedan.

As a crossover vehicle, the Edge bridges the gap between the Explorer SUV and the Freestar Minivan . The Edge made its public debut at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January, with production starting in the fall of 2006 as a 2007 model. The Edge (codename ''U387'') will be built at Ford's Oakville Assembly Complex in Oakville , Ontario , Canada . The Ford Edge will compete with other vehicles in the Crossover SUV segment. The Edge is also Ford's third mid-size SUV, slotting below the Freestyle and the Explorer in the lineup.

The Edge and MKX will be among the first vehicles to use Ford's new 3.5 L '' Duratec 35 '' V6 engine. This new engine produces 250 hp (186 kW) and 240 ft·lbf (325 N·m) and is mated to the new '' 6F '' six-speed Automatic Transmission , which was co-developed with General Motors .
