For the 2016 model year, Ford has redesigned the Edge. With this redesign, will also come a new steering system that will make it easier to navigate parking lots and result in smoother lane changes when cruising down the highway. We introduce to you the Edge's new electronic adaptive steering system
You can see this steering system in action below:
This new system will come standard on all 2016 Edges with the Titanium or Sport trim levels. How it works is that it uses an electric motor and a series of gears to vary the steering ratio based on the vehicle's speed. At low speeds, the system makes the wheels turn more relative to the number of steering wheel turns. At higher speeds, the wheels turn less aggressively, resulting in smoother lane changes.
Once the 2016 Edge hits our showroom floor, feel free to stop by Hilltop Ford at 3280 Auto Plaza, Richmond, CA 94806 to test out this new system. Until then, you can browse our inventory online to what's available now.
