What's New
The 2023 Ford Edge soldiers on for yet another year with very little change. There are some slight shuffling of equipment applications and a couple of obligatory exterior color updates.
Choosing Your Ford Edge
The Edge is available in five trims, SE, SEL, ST-Line, Titanium, and ST. Base prices range from $39,440 to $47,980.
Engine Choices
Most Edge trims feature a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. The ST takes on a sportier attitude with a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 that increases power ratings to 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.
The smaller engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission while the ST features a seven-speed unit. Both engines route power to a standard all-wheel-drive system.
The Edge earns an EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon combined or 21 MPG with the more powerful engine and the ST trim’s other performance-focused features.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Edge is a two-row five-seater and it stretches 188.8 inches in length and sits 75.9 inches wide. That provides a spacious interior with the rear passengers enjoying 40.3 inches of headroom and 40.6 inches of legroom and a large cargo area measuring 39.2 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seat and 73.4 cubic feet with it folded.
The Edge can tow 1,500 pounds or 3,500 pounds when equipped with the optional towing package for $435.
Safety Features
The standard trim features automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. Full-speed adaptive cruise control with lane centering is offered on the SEL-and-up trims through the $1,195 Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package. The Titanium and ST trims offer a 180-degree front camera and an advanced parking assist system.
The Edge earns Good crashworthiness scores from IIHS but a Poor headlight rating for most trims. NHTSA awards the Edge with a five-star overall rating.
Connectivity
All trims feature a 12-inch portrait-style touchscreen, SiriusXM, a Wi-Fi hotspot, six speakers, USB outlets, and two 12-volt power outlets. A 110-volt outlet and wireless charging pad are available through the SEL’s Convenience Package and are included in the higher trim levels. The Titanium and ST trims feature a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Compare Edge Trims Side-By-Side
The Edge is best suited for practical daily duty and for that, we like the SEL trim level with the Convenience Package which adds several key features while keeping the bottom line reasonable.
