philipj604 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi all, Im new to the forum as I'm interested in buying a Ford Edge. Does anyone know if and when a petrol version will be released here in the UK. My local dealer doesn't know and I contacted Ford directly and got told to ask my dealership!!!

simonb65 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think if Ford are serious long term about the Edge in Europe/UK and the u-turn on diesel 'frendliness', then they have to offer a Petrol in yhe next 18 months. Be nice to see the 2.3 ecoboost (315bhp) used in the Mustang or Focus RS in the Sport/ST-Line as it is in the US/Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit sad to return to my Focus after that lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 With the government coming down hard on diesels, I think it’s a matter of time before we get an Edge petrol model. The problem in the uk is the cost of running a big heavy petrol powered car. My diesel only maintains about 33-34 mpg. That being said a 2 litre ecoboost might be economical enough.

Can't be too bad surely. The same engine in the Mondeo is quoted at 48 or 49 MPG extra-urban cycle or something, so it should only be a little under that. Around town it will obviously drink fuel however. That said if you're buying a car for £35k+, I doubt you will care about a few MPGs difference :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I think the Edge weighs a bit more than a Mondeo. Oh and the official fuel figures bear no resemblance to reality. My Edge is quoted at about 47 mpg but I’m lucky if I get more than 34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbird1975 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Our 180 Mondeo current hits the heady heights of 41mpg combined on a 20min journey so a petrol powered Edge say 25mpg combined if you don't go too mad. Bearing in mind the lack of Torque that you get in the diesel will mean a heavier foot is required to move the thing. As for being able to afford. On PCP finance 35K for a car of his type is average at best. If you can literally pay 35K up front then yes, maybe don't worry about the cost of fuel.
