For 2011, the Ford Edge gets an unusually thorough refresh that sees significant changes to the exterior, interior, powertrain, and chassis. Our SEL was equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6, just like last year's model, but power is up 20 hp and 3 lb-ft of torque. It's difficult to detect that kind of power change, but I did quickly pick up on the revised steering effort, which, for a crossover, is quite satisfying. There's excellent on-center response and a natural effort buildup that's atypical in this segment.
