Introduced at the 2006 North American Motor Show, the Edge was a mid-size SUV built on the same platform as Ford Fusion.

The SUV revolution started when people understood that they don't need an MPV that will struggle in the winter conditions and won't add much-needed safety. It is true that an MPV offers much more room and usually, they can fit seven passengers with ease. But there are not too many families with more than 4 people in the house.

The Edge featured a bold design for its era. The front fascia offered three-bars chrome grille and a specific shape for its headlights. The tall beltline and narrow windows made the car look smaller than it really was. In the back, two exhausts were poking underneath the rear bumper.

Inside, Ford installed a sedan-inspired dashboard, with a center stack that hosted the infotainment unit and the climate controls knobs. Since the car was bigger than a regular sedan, there was a gap between the center console and the center stack. On the base versions, the Edge was offered with cloth seats for all five occupants. As an option, it was offered with leather seats and contrast stitching. The reclining rear seatbacks were installed to make the long journeys more comfortable.

The only engine available for the 2007 Edge was a 3.5-liter V6 unit, mated to a 6-speed automatic. It was offered with either a front- or all-wheel-drive. The transmission didn't feature a manual mode.
