2017 Ford Edge

The Edge is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by Ford Motor Company. This model was originally launched in 2006, as 2007 year model. This excellent crossover, which is characterized both by great look and excellent performances, was redesigned last year. The second-generation model came with many improvements and nowadays offers even more that firs-generation model. 
The 2017 Ford Edge will come in third year of production, so bigger changes are not expected. The base characteristics, both in visual and mechanical aspect, will remain unchanged. However, it is rumored that hybrid version will come with 2017 Edge, but since there is more than a year until its release, it is still early to speculate.

2017 Ford Edge specs

As we already mentioned, 2017 Ford Edge will come with most of the characteristics same as for the model that came last year. It will ride on the company’s new CD4 platform, which is used for models like Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ and it will be used for several other future models of the company. This new platform offers plenty of advantages, compared to previous model. 

New model is lighter, has longer wheelbase, offers more space inside etc. When it is about outside look, 2017 Edge will come without changes. It will come adapted to the company’s new design language.

2017 Ford Explorer

The Explorer is one of the best known nameplates of Ford Motor Company. This model originally came in 1991 and so far we have seen five generations of it. While first four models were traditional, mid-size SUVs, latest model that came in 2011 switched to the more car-like unibody platform, because nowadays most of the drivers prefer these type of vehicles. 
Current, fifth generation is now a crossover and it is also larger than previous models. As you probably known, major update is reserved for 2016 year model, so it is still hard to predict what novelties we can see on 2017 Ford Explorer.

The exact details about 2017 Ford Explorer are still unknown, so we must rely only on prediction. It is expected that most of the characteristics will be the same as on refreshed 2016 year model. This refresh includes numerous changes. Some of them are visual nature like those at the front. 

We will see a new front end which includes new grille, new LED lighting and also a new bumper, which will beside new look, also come with features like front view cameras and parking sensors.

2017 Ford EcoSport

Compact crossover EcoSport is being prepared for another run. This smallest vehicle in this segment by US carmaker will be redesigned and launched as 2017 Ford EcoSport. Rumors say that vehicle could get other name, but these information are unknown so far. 
In North America, company will have to remove ‘Eco’ from its name, so mini SUV could be called just ‘Sport’ or somehow different. However, by the time of planned released there are going to be made many changes, since development is in process.
2017 Ford EcoSport redesign
We have more than a year before 2017 Ford EcoSport steps into dealerships, but some info had leaked. This SUV and Fiesta were built on the same platform, which won’t be the case this time. That means we can’t compare it to this car and its features anymore. Now, new EcoSport crossover, or which ever name it is going to carry, will be more like new Ford Edge. 

By that, expect three-bar hexagonal grille and new headlights shape. Body-colored bumpers will be installed on the more edgy rear end. New hood is possible for aggressive appearance. Furthermore, we know 2017 EcoSport uses a lot of lightweight parts, made of aluminum and carbon-fiber.
