The 2012 Ford Edge (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/edge) is set to be available with four-cylinder EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost) power with the addition of a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, and reports are emerging that the vehicle will be able to return some fairly impressive fuel economy numbers. According to Ford Inside News, the Environmental Protection Agency (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/environmental protection agency) has concluded testing, and the Edge 2.0 EcoBoost has managed to eek out 30 mpg highway. That's three miles per gallon better than the comparable 3.5-liter V6-equipped 2011 model and two miles per gallon better than the Explorer (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/explorer) 2.0-liter EcoBoost, whose 28 mpg highway figure was just made official last week (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/28/2012-ford-explorer-2-0-liter-ecoboost-to-net-20-mpg-city-28-hig/).
Ford Inside News also reports that the engine will continue to turn out 240 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque when tucked into the Edge. While we're betting that while our right foot will likely miss the extra 45 horsepower produced by the 3.5-liter V6, the extra 22 pound-feet of torque mustered up by the forced-induction four-cylinder should help make up the gap. Our wallets probably won't mind skipping the gas station a little more often, too.2012 Ford Edge to hit 30 mpg with 2.0-liter EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/08/01/2012-ford-edge-to-hit-30-mpg-with-2-0-liter-ecoboost/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:01:00 EST.
