Ford Edge Plus gets giant displays in China

The 2021 Ford Edge is now available for purchase in China with some exterior and many interior changes. It is also now called “Edge Plus”, which seems redundant because the pre-facelift Edge is not available anymore.

The old 12.8-inch touchscreen makes way for two new displays measuring 8 and 13.2 inches across. There is a new squared-off multi-function steering wheel, and the center console now houses both the climate controls and the air vents. A cover below conceals a power socket, a single USB port and a wireless charger.

The car is 4,878 mm long, 1,925 mm wide and 1,734 mm tall with 2,850 mm between the axles. The radiator grille becomes wider compared to the pre-facelift version, and the dual exhaust tips look slightly redesigned. A chrome strip now connects the taillights instead of a glossy black one.

Powering the car is its old 2.0-liter turbo-four mill good for 245 PS (242 hp / 180 kW) and 390 Nm (288 lb-ft), which still links to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Buyers can choose between FWD and AWD.
