If you are searching for a 2026 Ford Edge in the United States, it does not exist.

Ford ended North American production of the Edge after the 2024 model year. The company confirmed there would be no 2025 model, and the nameplate has not returned for 2026. 

Production at the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario stopped as the plant prepared for next-generation electric vehicles, according to Ford’s official media release. For American buyers, that changes the conversation. 

There is no upcoming redesign to wait for, no 2026 pricing to analyze, and no new EPA rating to compare. Any meaningful discussion of the 2026 Ford Edge depends entirely on geography. However, in China, the Edge continues but it looks different.

The Edge Survives in China as the Edge L

Ford still sells the Edge L in China through its Changan Ford joint venture. It is not a carryover of the former U.S. two-row crossover. It is a longer, three-row SUV aimed squarely at families.

Ford China lists the Edge L at:

• 5000 mm in length

• 1961 mm in width

• 1773 mm in height

• 2950 mm wheelbase

That footprint pushes it into the large family SUV category. The nearly three-meter wheelbase directly affects passenger space. Third-row usability, often marginal in midsize crossovers, becomes realistic here.

Seating layouts include both 2+3+2 and 2+2+3 configurations, giving buyers flexibility depending on trim.

The 2026 model is not a full redesign. Chinese automotive outlet Autohome reports that it retains the same core dimensions and exterior structure as the 2025 version, with updates focused on equipment and trim structure. That matters if you are evaluating depreciation or long-term resale stability in that market. A feature update tends to hold value more predictably than a full generational shift.

Pricing in the Only Market Where It Exists

The 2026 Ford Edge L launched in China with seven trims priced between: ¥229,800 and ¥309,800 RMB

Autohome documents the full trim spread and confirms the pricing band. Ford China’s vehicle listings reflect the same starting MSRP.

For U.S. buyers, pricing is not speculative. It is nonexistent. There is no 2026 MSRP because the model is discontinued. That distinction eliminates one of the most common consumer questions.

Hybrid Strategy Instead of Full Electrification

The most revealing part of the 2026 Edge L is not its size, but its powertrain positioning. Ford continues to offer both a 2.0T EcoBoost gasoline engine and a 2.0T EcoBoost hybrid system in China.

The hybrid setup uses a fifth-generation 2.0T EcoBoost engine paired with a power-split hybrid system. Ford states:

• Engine rated at 202 kW

• 405 N·m of torque

• Electronic CVT-style transmission

Performance claims include:

• 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds

• WLTC “6L-class” fuel consumption

• 1188 km driving range per tank

Ford previously cited 6.31 L per 100 km under WLTC testing for the hybrid system.

These numbers position the Edge L hybrid as a long-distance family vehicle that does not require plug-in charging. Ford explicitly markets it toward households without private charging infrastructure.

That strategy contrasts sharply with North America, where the Edge was retired as Ford pivots production capacity toward fully electric vehicles. The regional split is not accidental. It reflects two different consumer ecosystems.

Interior Technology Is a Selling Point

The Edge L leans heavily into digital integration.

Ford highlights:

• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster

• 27-inch 4K ultra-wide touchscreen

• SYNC+ 2.0 connectivity system

A 27-inch screen changes dashboard architecture. It centralizes infotainment, navigation, and climate interaction into one visual plane. That can simplify user experience, though it also concentrates system dependency in a single display.

For 2026, Ford introduced a functional update to the 540-degree camera system. The system now automatically activates when the vehicle detects a grade of seven degrees or more. That feature addresses forward visibility when cresting hills or entering steep ramps.

Structural and Safety Claims

Ford states the Edge L body structure uses more than 50 percent high-strength steel. It also promotes hybrid battery durability testing that includes:

• Over 25,000 charge and discharge cycles

• Two-hour seawater immersion testing

• Salt spray exposure

• Overcharge and penetration tests

Those claims are manufacturer-provided. Independent U.S. crash ratings such as IIHS and NHTSA do not apply to the China-market Edge L.

For American readers evaluating used models, the final 2024 Ford Edge provides the only relevant safety benchmark.

According to FuelEconomy.gov, the 2024 Edge AWD with the 2.0L engine achieved 23 mpg combined, while the 2.7L V6 returned 21 mpg combined. 

Cars.com’s display of NHTSA data shows the 2024 Edge base trim earned a five-star overall safety rating, with a four-star rollover rating and a 15.5 percent rollover risk.

IIHS rated the 2024 Edge “Good” overall in the updated side test, though some subcategories scored lower.

For buyers comparing used SUVs, those figures carry more weight than speculation about a future redesign.

Depreciation and the Reality of a Discontinued Model

Discontinuation affects resale patterns. CarEdge estimates the Ford Edge may depreciate around 60 percent over five years, depending on trim and market conditions. 

iSeeCars estimates approximately 56.3 percent five-year depreciation based on transaction data. These models are projections, not guarantees, but still, they offer context. 

A discontinued model can stabilize if demand remains steady, or it can soften if buyers fear parts scarcity. The Edge benefits from shared components across Ford’s broader lineup, which often reduces long-term ownership risk.

What the 2026 Ford Edge Really Represents

The 2026 Ford Edge is not a single vehicle. It represents a split strategy.

In North America, the nameplate closed as Ford reallocates manufacturing capacity toward electric vehicles. In China, it continues as a hybrid-focused, three-row SUV with digital-heavy interior design and long-distance efficiency positioning.

If you are in the United States, you are choosing among the remaining 2024 inventory or the used market. If you are evaluating resale, safety, or fuel economy, the 2024 Edge provides the only relevant benchmark data.

If you are researching the Edge L in China, you are looking at a refined version of an existing platform rather than a ground-up redesign. Pricing, powertrain, and technology positioning are clearly documented in Ford’s official materials and major automotive reporting.

Transporting a Ford Edge

Whether you own a final-year 2024 Ford Edge or a used earlier model, relocation often requires professional vehicle transport.
