<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > new car features</h1>
The shape of the headlamp group has become more slender and looks more energetic
As a mid-term revamp, the overall styling of the new car's appearance has not changed much, but there are obvious adjustments in the details. The new style of headlights has become more narrow and long, and looks more dynamic. The style of daytime running lights is similar to the lighting design style of some BMW models, of course, perhaps the light group shape of the new car is inspired by the Mach-E.
The opening area of the front bracket is larger, and it is expected that there will also be new design elements on both sides of the encirclement
The front surround is also in a new design style, with a larger opening area and trapezoidal shape, and it is expected that the sides of the front bracket will also be embellished with more sporty design elements.
The picture shows the current Ford Sharp Edge
The body side shape is basically the same as that of the current model
The body side shape of the new car is consistent with the current model, and no obvious changes have been made, and in terms of body size, as a reference, the length, width and height of the current sharp edge are: 4585/1882/1688 mm, and the wheelbase is 2710 mm.
The rear shape of the car has changed slightly, and the two-sided exhaust layout has been retained
The rear part of the car has not changed much, and judging from the spy photos obtained so far, the shape of the taillights has not adopted a new style. The test car on the spy photo has removed the lower part of the rear encirclement, so it is not possible to know whether the new car will have a new encirclement design, but it is certain that the exhaust of the new car will still be a bilateral two-out layout.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the expected power is consistent with the current model</h1>
There is no more information on the power side, but as a mid-term revamp, no changes are expected in terms of power. For reference, the current Ford Edge is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 248 hp and a peak torque of 393 Nm, matching an 8AT gearbox. Plug-in hybrid models are also available, using a 1.5-liter 3-cylinder turbocharged engine.
