The Ford Edge Safety Rating

A safe drive is one of the most important things a car can provide. Every vehicle must pass safety tests and meet standards before they are ready to hit the road. However, not all vehicles secure the coveted safety ratings, such as those awarded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The 2021 Ford Edge was named a 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK by the IIHS, receiving superior ratings.

This model also earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA. In tests analyzing frontal and side collisions, the Ford Edge earned five stars along with four stars in rollover testing.

Knowing this information will help you make a more informed decision when selecting a vehicle based on safety ratings.

Safety Embedded in Design

The safety ratings awarded to the Ford Edge are well earned since its thoughtful design helps it keep you safe. For example, this SUV was engineered to increase your view of the road and make you visible to other drivers with the standard:

• LED taillamps
• Bi-LED low and high beam headlamps
• LED configurable daytime running lamps

Furthermore, the windshield is laminated. This detail protects you from shattered glass as the laminate will contain the pieces in case of a collision.

Inside, you’ll find the LATCH System to keep your little ones secure in their car seats. Additionally, both the front and second row have side-impact airbags with a Safety Canopy® side-curtain airbag with a rollover sensor. These features protect your head and neck if you experience a side collision or vehicle rollover.

Ford Edge Standard Safety Features

In addition to a safe design, the Ford Edge comes with a host of standard safety technologies. Although practicing safe driving habits is crucial for diverting accidents, driver assistance features will make it that much easier.

Each trim of the 2021 Ford Edge includes the Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of driver assistance technologies, such as:

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

To remind you to wear your seatbelt, each Ford Edge includes the Belt-Minder® feature. Additionally, a Personal Safety System™ is imbedded to make sure the appropriate air bags deploy at the right time.
