2011 Ford Edge - Click above for high-res image gallery
The 3.5-liter V6 edition of the revamped 2011 Ford Edge (http://www.autoblog.com/model/edge) has finally received its official fuel mileage ratings from the EPA, and like its more luxurious Lincoln MKX (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkx) sibling, it has topped its class. The Edge is ranked at 19 miles per gallon on the urban drive cycle and 27 mpg on the highway. That's a tick better on the highway than the MKX with its 3.7-liter version of the V6. It's also 1 and 2 mpg better respectively than its chief domestic rival, the 3.0-liter V6 Chevrolet Equinox (http://www.autoblog.com/model/equinox) - despite the fact that at 285 horsepower, the Ford engine is significantly more powerful (the 'Nox offers 264 hp).
The big news that we are still waiting on is the ratings for the 2.0-liter Ecoboost engine. The four-cylinder Equinox is rated at an impressive 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Ford will have quite a challenge beating those figures, however, especially with an engine that is expected to produce about 45 more horsepower than the naturally aspirated engine in General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/)' crossover. Offiicial PR verbiage after the jump, high-res gallery below.
