Ford will offer a hybrid version of the upcoming Edge crossover vehicle. The vehicle is one of the growing trend of offers a body style similar to a SUV, but with a lower center of gravity. Instead of being built on a truck frame like some SUV's, it's built on a lighter platform that's similar to what's used on the Mazda 6. This style is sometimes referred to as a CUV (crossover utility vehicle). The hybrid version of the Edge isn't expected until 2010.

The Edge will be offered in both a hybrid and conventional design. There aren't too many details about the hybrid, but as a point of reference, here's a little info about the standard version.
