福特近日在北美车展发布了2019款锐界，该车采用了新的前脸，升级版车尾，入门级车型动力获得提升。同时，福特新增了ST版本，该车成为锐界的旗舰级车型。2019款锐界仍搭载那台2.0升四缸涡轮引擎，但功率提升了4千瓦/5马力至186千瓦/250马力，搭配八速自动变速器，福特表示，新车燃油经济性进一步提升。换挡机构并非传统的排挡杆，而是变成了旋钮。为提升安全性，该车标配驾驶员辅助系统，包括前方防碰撞警示，防碰撞辅助系统，盲点监控，车道保持辅助和自动远光灯等。该车的前脸也进行了改款，格栅中间的造型进行了改款，标配LED前大灯。重新设计的引擎盖更有形，而非平直造型。车尾的尾门上增加了黑色装饰条，增加了外观吸引力。首次推出的ST版本搭载了一台动力更强的2.7升V6双涡轮引擎，功率250千瓦/335马力，扭矩475牛米，搭配八速自动变速器并标配全轮驱动。改进后的悬挂更具侵略性，同时制动系统也获得升级。为了与其他版本有所不同，ST版本采用了福特福克斯ST的格栅，增加底部侧裙并对后保险杠进行了改款，底部是双排气尾管。车厢内的座椅才了更厚实的坐垫。福特并未公布2019款锐界价格。
Ford Refreshes 2019 Edge, Launches 335-HP ST Model
Ford has refreshed the 2019 Edge by giving the crossover a new face, updated rear, and a boost in power to the base model. At the top of the range, there's a new ST trim that turns up the heat on the existing Sport by giving the hottest Edge more powerful and a meaner look.
The 2019 Edge continues to use Ford's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but it now makes 250 horsepower (186 kilowatts) – a 5-hp (4-kW) improvement over last year. An eight-speed automatic puts two more gears at driver's disposal, and Ford promises an improvement in fuel economy. Rather than a traditional stick-shaped gearshift, there's now a rotary knob. For improved safety, the model comes with more standard driver assists, including forward collision warning, pre-collision assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams.
The Edge has a fresh face, too. There's revised styling for the bars in the grille, and full LED headlights are now standard. A redesigned hood has a more contoured appearance than the current, rather flat styling there. At the rear, Ford adds a black strip of trim below the hatchback's glass, which adds a more visually interesting, two-tone aesthetic back there.
Customers looking for a little more muscle can check out Ford's first use of its ST performance branding on a crossover. Like the existing Sport trim, power comes from a 2.7-liter biturbo V6, but it now makes 335 hp (250 kW) and 380 pound-feet (515 Newton-meters) of torque, versus 315 hp (235 kW) and 350 lb-ft (475 Nm) currently. The eight-speed auto replaces the six-cog unit in the ST, too, and all-wheel drive comes standard. A revised suspension with more aggressive settings accompanies these upgrades, and the Blue Oval offers upgraded brakes as an option.
The ST looks a little different than the rest of the lineup, including mesh in the grille that echoes the piece on the Focus ST. Lower side skirts and a tweaked rear bumper with dual exhaust outlets also communicate the model's sporty intentions. Inside, the seats receive thicker bolsters.
Ford hasn't disclosed pricing or availability of the 2019 Edge.
