2023 Ford Edge

In Titanium and ST trims, a more diverse color palette and bigger alloy wheel designs make a big difference. 

The cabin shows more of its age, with large expanses of plastic in both flat and gloss finishes, the latter of which smudges with fingerprints much too easily.

All-wheel drive is standard across the lineup.

How fast is the Ford Edge?

Most Edge models come powered by a 250-hp 2.0-liter turbo-4, which puts power to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination is adequate for most driving and delivers smooth acceleration, city and highway alike, but requires 93-octane fuel to make that power output; with regular it develops 227 hp.

Driving dynamics are relatively firm for a mid-size crossover, thanks to an independent suspension system and precise electronic power steering, though the ride is still comfortable over most surfaces. The larger wheel options look good, but add some roughness to the ride. Towing capacity maxes out at 3,500 lb.

The Edge ST model boasts a 335-hp 2.7-liter V-6 that also requires premium fuel, but can achieve a 0-60 mph time of under six seconds. The ST also gets sportier suspension and steering tuning, and performance brakes are optional.

The second row, with more than 40 inches of leg room and good head room, can accommodate three adults, though the bench again suffers from a lack of support on the bottom cushion.

The cargo hold measures at 39.2 cubic feet, which opens up to 73.4 cubic feet with the rear row folded. Every trim above the base model gets a power tailgate. 

The cabin design is a decade old, though fit and finish are good and a 12.0-inch touchscreen does a decent job of modernizing the space.

The NHTSA awards five stars overall, with just one four-star rating for rollover resistance. The IIHS gives the Edge its Top Safety Pick award for the 2022 model, but only when equipped with the optional headlights on Titanium and ST trims.

The Edge includes blind-spot monitors, active lane control, and automatic emergency braking. For features such as adaptive cruise control and a front-facing camera, step up to the SEL trim.

Which Ford Edge should I buy?

The Edge SE starts below $40,000 and includes cloth upholstery, all-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels, a 12.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance package. The SEL, at about $45,000, adds synthetic leather, power-adjustable and heated front seats, keyless start, and LED headlights. 

How much is a fully loaded Ford Edge?

Both top Edge trims have significantly increased in price for 2023. The Edge Titanium brings a hands-free power tailgate, upgraded audio, and leather upholstery for more than $45,000. The Edge ST, almost $49,000, gets textured cloth seats, the more potent powertrain, and an upgraded suspension system.
