Fresh Cars for 2015: Ford

Edge: Ford redid its mid-size SUV for 2015, moving it from the old to the current Fusion platform. It offers a choice of three engines. A twin-scroll Two.0-liter turbo four is closely related to Ford’s fresh Two.3-liter four and should make inbetween two hundred forty and two hundred fifty horsepower. Moving up to the naturally aspirated Three.5-liter V-6 brings three hundred five horses, and Sport versions will get a twin-turbo Two.7-liter V-6 with about three hundred twenty horsepower and three hundred seventy pound-feet. A utter complement of safety and convenience equipment will be available, including collision warning, active cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, automatic parking, and Ford’s fresh Adaptive Steering system [see Fresh Tech for 2015]. What doesn’t switch is the Edge’s basic size. While a one-inch-wheelbase increase promises more rear-seat legroom, the Edge remains a two-row SUV. See official photos and info ››

Expedition: Ford has pretty much disregarded its largest SUV since 2007. But for 2015, a fresh interior design promises greater convenience; fresh headlights and grille give the Expedition a fresh face; electronically adjustable shocks promise a better rail; and a Three.5-liter turbocharged V-6 is expected to produce three hundred seventy horsepower and four hundred thirty pound-feet of torque, up from three hundred sixty five horsepower and four hundred twenty pound-feet.

F-series: Ford’s company within a company gets a big alloy overhaul this year, with a cab and bed made out of aluminum; the framework remains steel. Ford claims a 700-pound weight loss, however we’re skeptical until we put one on our scales. In addition to the fresh assets, there’s an entirely fresh interior that looks more expensive and vaguely Ram-like. A Trio.5-liter V-6 with about three hundred horsepower will be the base engine. The next rung brings a Two.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 that is expected to produce three hundred twenty horsepower and three hundred seventy pound-feet of torque. The optional Trio.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 should climb to three hundred eighty horsepower and four hundred sixty pound-feet of torque, up from three hundred sixty five horsepower and four hundred twenty pound-feet, and the naturally aspirated 360-hp Five.0-liter V-8 remains unchanged.

F-series Super Duty: Diesel customers of Ford’s fattest equipments will be enthusiastically pulling tree stumps when they find that the optional turbo-diesel 6.7-liter V-8’s torque rises to eight hundred sixty pound-feet from 800. Horsepower is up 40, to 440. See F-350 Super Duty Diesel very first drive ››

Concentrate/ST: Ford reshapes the Concentrate to conform to the rest of the lineup, providing it an Aston Martin–style grille, fresh headlights, and a fresh fetish mask. In back, the taillights have a fresh design. Interior switches are minor; there’s a fresh steering wheel and some fresh seat fabrics and trim. Thicker news is the smaller engine: Ford’s 1.0-liter turbo three-cylinder engine is now available here. Collective with the Fiesta, the little three makes one hundred twenty three horsepower, and albeit EPA estimates are not yet available, the engine manages thirty one mpg city and forty three highway in the Fiesta. Expect the Concentrate to treatment those marks. The Concentrate ST also will carry the fresh front and rear fascias and have interior updates similar to the standard models’. It will proffer black or crimson stripes. See Concentrate ST official photos and info ››

Mustang (shown above): Perhaps you’ve missed the innumerable covers we’ve dedicated to Ford’s reimagined pony car over the past year. Or maybe the fresh Mustang, perched atop the Empire State Building for its 50th anniversary, escaped your Facebook feed. If so, here’s some news: An all-new Mustang is coming, and it promises to be a bit more refined and sophisticated than before. Three engines are available, however horsepower figures haven’t been finalized. At the top of the range is a slightly tweaked Five.0-liter V-8 that promises more than four hundred twenty horsepower. Rental-car desks are likely to have the keys to the Trio.7-liter V-6 with at least three hundred horsepower, and eventually a Two.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine will produce a minimum of three hundred five horsepower. Power proceeds to be channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. Identically significant to the fresh four-banger is the fresh multilink, independent rear suspension. According to Ford, the objective was for the fresh Mustang to surpass the spectacular treating and track-ready nature of the now-defunct Boss 302. In addition to the fastback coupe, a convertible will be suggested. See Two.3L EcoBoost very first rail ››

Transit: Ford’s fresh van eventually will substitute the prehistoric E-series. Looking a bit like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or a UPS delivery truck, the Ford will be available with two wheelbases, three assets lengths, three roof heights, and three engines. Tooled with the turbocharged Three.5-liter V-6 or the naturally aspirated Three.7-liter V-6, the largest Transit can guzzle four hundred eighty seven cubic feet of cargo, a claimed seventy five percent more than the E-series could treat. Ford also will suggest a Trio.2-liter five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine rated at one hundred eighty five horsepower and three hundred fifty pound-feet of torque, mainly so the internet will shut up about it already.

Dead: E-series (eventually), Shelby GT500
