Superb Ford Edge Safety Ratings

In the auto industry, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) ratings are a big tell in terms of a vehicle’s safety. After a vehicle has been through a battery of crash tests, it earns a safety rating.

The 2020 Ford Edge has been given a perfect 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, a sign of its readiness to protect passengers in the event of an accident.

The Edge earned perfect scores on the frontal crash and side crash portions of the test. The results offer a bit more peace of mind and another reason to trust the Ford Edge with your family.

Track Teenage Drivers with MyKey®  

If your kids are of driving age, you want to help them build good driving habits from the beginning. The Edge helps them do that with MyKey®, a standard feature that can monitor secondary operators of the vehicle, such as your teenage driver. We’ll walk you through what’s involved.

MyKey® lets you program keys with restricted vehicle modes that promote good driving habits. You can program all but one of your keys with this feature. It encourages seat belt use by muting audio systems until front passenger belts are fastened.

That’s not all. The feature automatically engages Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assisting features. You can also set a speed limit for your secondary drivers, if you prefer.

More Awareness with Ford Co-Pilot360™

Driver assistance comes standard in the Ford Edge via Ford Co-Pilot360™. This safety suite incorporates five features into your daily drive. With intuitive features such as these, you won’t feel tensed up at lane changes on busy freeways, and you can stay centered in your lane more easily! You’ll have:

• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Of course, a Rear View Camera also comes standard. Drive more confidently in reverse, whether you’re backing out of your driveway or parallel parking along the curb.
