Mazzie Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi, I don't think there is any difference, it seems to me that all the "marketing blurb" talks about Edge ST line but every vehicle I have seen is still badged as Sport. I guess Fords European management haven't convinced the Canadian assembly plant to fit ST line badges instead of Sport or they are still awaiting styling approval, its to early in the model cycle to start making changes.

xn85 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think the only difference is the upgraded fabric from the LUX pack, and the deletion of adaptive steering. Oh, and a price increase... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunplumber Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 ok thanks although some garages are selling with st line badges on now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraGT Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yeah as xn85 said, the adaptive steering is now a £500 optional extra and you had to have had the lux pack to get the half leather seats which I now think is standard. I actually prefer the fabric personally which I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Edges are made at the Oakville plant, Ontario, CANADA! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shocks Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 ahh ok. I musta misunderstood what dealer said. I'm still buying one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzie Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 As simonb65 says all Edges are built at the Oakville plant in Canada, the sales volume in Europe is to small to justify tooling up the Valencia plant in Spain to produce them, unfortunately. Its only my opinion, but, I think the Edge would be a much better product if it were designed and produced in Europe, rather than having a "europeanised" American product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to realise that the salesman I had doesn't seem to have much knowledge on the Edge model and was winging it a bit when answering some questions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
