Ford Edge Specs and pricing released
http://www.caradvice.com.au/488707/2...cing-revealed/ It does look like a bit of market research before they lock in the Aus specifications . Last edited by SumoDog68; 11-10-2016 at 02:42 PM. |

hmmm on paper seems expensive for what it is. A single engine available? Seems a little risky.

Weird, announcing pricing and specs in 2016 for something you can't get until 2018.
Maybe to give people the chance to overcome the sticker shock $50k to $75k with a Ford badge - good luck selling that .

I wish people would look further than the sticker price and actually do some research into what they get for the money. A 7 seat SUV that drives well (according to reviews) with decent build quality, and in the case of the top of the range Titanium Plus, packed full of goodies including premium leather. Forget the price, look at the car on its merits. US don't get the seven seat Edge. There's also no such thing as a "Platinum" trim level for the Edge - at least, not yet. Secondly, just because it wears the same badge doesn't mean it gets the same equipment. Look at the spec sheets, see what's optional on their Edge Titanium that we (are likely to - based on the article and what we already get in the Mondeo Titanium) get as standard. Blind spot, adaptive cruise, collision alert, power adjustable steering column, park assist, sat nav, headrest mounted DVD screens, perforated leather seats, heated rear seats, panoramic roof, roof rails, rain sensing wipers, AWD, and rear inflatable belts. Secondly, there's the fact that aside from China, we're the only other market that gets the seven seat Edge. Development costs have to go somewhere. Finally, Edge Titanium (not the Titanium Plus which is a grade above) pricing should not be too dissimilar to that of the Kluger Grande.

75K will get you into a Jag F-pace
http://www.caradvice.com.au/402172/2...new-suv-range/ Edge looks like a good car, but by the time 2018 rolls around its going to need to be even better especially if it starts at 50K

That's a shedload of money, the Koreans are going to sell more SUVs if those prices are accurate.

That's kinda pricey and only one engine offering (140kw 2ltr diesel), we were actually thinking of getting one but now ill be looking at the CX9 and the updated Kluger that come out next year with 220kw and 8 speed gearbox.

So does this end the naming uncertainty?
Will it (rightly) be called the Ford Edge and not rebadged as Territory 2.0 I hope so. Still won't sell at those prices. .

7 seats though. Initially they stated it would be a 5 seater, with China getting the 7 seat version.

NO WAY would I pay that sort of premium for all that crap which at best are nice to haves. Just because they 'force' them on you in certain spec levels doesn't make them worth what they ask for them. I think Ford have forgotten who buys Fords I'll just keep driving my 'classic' 2004 models Put the coin I save into Super .

NX74205..I was refering to the choice of engines..Australia only gets one. The Titanium should get the V6 or the 2.7 Ecoboost to make it different to the base models...

Welcome to Australia post car manufacturing era.
We can charge what we like, so you either buy it or lump it. (or start a new car manufacturing company)

I like the idea of that option pack across the range.

It looks like there's no announcement, a panel was asked if they would pay this much for this range, and someone broke the confidentiality agreement.
There's no confirmation on specs, they're just spouting what current specs are, and it's all guesswork. It could all change based on their research panel responses. |

Instead of working out what it costs to a manufacture, transport and add $?% profit, just get a group of people to make up a figure, see if it sells, then either discount it or withdraw it from the market because it didn’t sell. |

Focus groups aren't the single deciding factor, but absolutely they ask how much you'd be willing to pay for an item, and that information is used or they wouldn't be paying people to ask the questions. |

All Ford have done is confirm the Edge, well more specifically that car will be coming to Australia and naming rights probably up in the air. That's how I have read it based on the below quote from the article.

Just wow.
So if Jeep could land the Grand Cherokee (US built) at 45K some years ago, and the Terry is 35-50 running out, and for 75K you can get a Jag F-Pace, BMW X3 (heirs to the Territory handling throne)... Time to become a badge snob, at those prices. Or one last Territory (which may be their intention in the leaked prices - clear current Territory stock). If we're not being badge loyal either, Mazda CX5, just like in the medium FWD sedan sector where 6 creams Mondeo, CX5 will have the volume. |

It does not. The only place where Mazda "creams" Ford is on the sales charts. Kuga and Mondeo are better than their respective Mazda offerings.

Toyota Kluger is also made in the USA, it's rrp is $46K for a petrol awd with the range topper at $68k (still petrol) and this is the target market segment for the Edge so given the Edge is a diesel, it's in the ballpark. Last edited by Kieron; 13-10-2016 at 04:03 AM. |

If you think you can buy the Jag F pace for 75 go and get it, it is 90K before you blink and 125K for the ones with the supercharged v6 and decent kit spec |
