Our friends at Autos.ca are reporting that China will get a long-wheelbase version of the 2015 Ford Edge.
According to the site, the Edge will get longer rear doors, while retaining much of the same sheetmetal. The Edge will be built in Oakville, Ontario for global markets, but due to China's restrictive tariffs on imported cars, there will presumably be a Chinese assembly site as well.
Long-wheelbase versions of sedans are highly popular with Chinese consumers, who value rear passenger space as an attribute of luxury vehicles. Being driven by a chauffeur is also a sign of wealth among affluent Chinese consumers, and a long-wheelbase crossover neatly capitalizes on these trends.
