Ford launched a new factory-customized model – the 2009 Edge Sport. The Sport version joins the SE, SEL and Limited models in the range – and makes the Ford Edge the first vehicle in its segment to offer a customized model.
The 2009 Edge Sport is offered with 22-inch polished aluminum wheels or the standard 20-inch premium painted wheels with branded center hubs.
The eight-piece Edge Sport body kit includes a unique front air dam, side skirts, lower door caps and a rear skirt, all finished in body color, instead of the dark lower on other Edge models. The front air dam features integrated fog lamps and a lower grille insert. These elements combine with the unique wheels and tires to provide a sporty personality.
