grumzy Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 On the Ford UK site www.ford.co.uk it is now possible to build and price an Edge. (Alphabetically its listed under NEW not Edge so scroll down) There are quite a few differences compared to the North American market model. Especially in the transmission. A Manual Edge would be fun. Also only 3 models instead of 4. Zetec, Titanium and Sport Not sure if it's just because its pre launch, but the Sport model appears to have exactly the same engine as the Titanium and base model. It just has the Sport Grill, fancy wheels and all the upgrades. And check out those prices.... convert to dollars and you'll feint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah, Europeans also get fancy LED accent lighting in the headlamps that is not available in the US/Canada because it makes the edge look too much like the Lincoln MKX... I'd love to get a diesel option here in the US as well, most US consumers could care less though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Hanson Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) The black alloys on the uk sport model are no where near as nice. And FYI fully spec' don't in the UK it's coming up at £40k, ouch... Edited January 8, 2016 by Harvey Hanson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminator Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I want a standard 2.7 Ecoboost combo, with the LED fog lights and headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONEDGE16 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Couple of other differences: Engine: only available is a Duratorq TDCi (diesel) Color: oxford white is standard - any other color is premium and cost ranges between £545 & £825 If you check Ford France, cost goes up to about €60,000 for a fully loaded Sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Stanis Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nice LED headlights. I was expecting to have it in 2016 model, but unfortunately this didn't happen. Also, I find it's too odd to have Halogen headlights in Sport model, actually even have Halogen lights in any model in 2016 is odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punch-card Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 So correct me if I am wrong, I don't think there is a "Lincoln" for the European market. Because the features like the larger EB engine and LED signature and headlines are features of the MKX. I assume in order to make MKX market differentiated from the Edge. So following my assumption, if there is no Lincoln in Europe, then they add features to the existing Edge in those market where Lincoln does not exist.

Mondeo is the same way - it has a lot of MKZ features for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the wheels on the sport though, also no 21's offered. I do prefer the instrument layout better than the north american version, 2 big dials, speedo and tach looks much better. The UK version also seems to sit a bit lower than the NA version. Their advertised prices also include the 15% VAT so the price you see is the price you pay.

Cougster Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Couldn't you conceivably just order a set of headlights and the fog lamps from Ford UK and install them on your US model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Couldn't you conceivably just order a set of headlights and the fog lamps from Ford UK and install them on your US model? No, because UK lights are designed for driving on the left and have a reverse pattern from what is used for driving on the right. You would blind oncoming drivers and have little visibility to the road shoulder and signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brooks Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Did I see correctly that Sync3 isn't available on the EU models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Did I see correctly that Sync3 isn't available on the EU models? looks like it. My guess is that they haven't finished the localization for all the EU markets yet on the Sync 3 system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
