Just As The EcoSport, Ford Ka And Ka Sedan Were Phased Out, It’s Time To Say Goodbye To The Ford Edge Which, According To The Multinational Ford, Will No Longer Be Sold At Dealerships In The Country
After stopping the production of several vehicles in Brazil and removing the EcoSport, Ford Ka, and Ka Sedan from dealerships, the multinational Ford phases out another vehicle. Now it’s the turn of the Ford Edge SUV, which was sold until now in its only sporty ST version. The vehicle says goodbye to Brazil after two and a half years of not-so-surprising sales. In a statement, the multinational claims that the discontinuation of the Ford Edge is a result of the focus on the competitiveness of the company’s product portfolio. The global semiconductor crisis also contributed, accelerating this decision.

The second generation of the model, which was phased out just like the EcoSport, Ford Ka, and Ka Sedan, arrived in the country nearly three years ago. At the time, it was priced at R$ 300,000, very close to the R$ 315,000 offered for the Mustang GT.

Large Vehicle Was Capable Of Accelerating From 0 To 100 Km/h In Just 6.7 Seconds
To justify the price of the car that was removed from dealerships just like the EcoSport, Ford Ka, and Ka Sedan, Ford introduced the ST badge in 2018. With the V6 2.7 EcoBoost producing a torque of 54.4 kgfm and 335 horsepower, it allowed the SUV to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, despite weighing over two tons.
In addition to this engine, the Ford Edge also featured an eight-speed automatic transmission with a rotary shifter in the console. It was not only large in size but also boasted an extensive list of features.
The model that was discontinued just like the EcoSport, Ford Ka, and Ka Sedan had 21-inch alloy wheels, four screens—one for the instrument panel, another for the multimedia center, and two more for the rear passengers. Additionally, it included wireless charging, a 180º front camera, Bang & Olufsen speakers, and a Ford Co-Pilot semi-autonomous safety package.
