The current generation of the Ford Edge has been on sale since 2015. With the midsize SUV entering its eighth model year since a full redesign and coming off of some substantial changes last year, we expect the 2023 Edge to arrive as a carryover model without any major changes. Reports indicate that the 2023 model year could be the Edge’s last.
The 2023 Ford Edge should retain the same overall design as the current SUV on sale. The Edge has a sporty, yet upscale look with a relatively small oval grille, sharp headlights, and smooth lines. The rear end of the SUV has a raked rear liftgate, swept-back taillights, and dual exhaust outlets.
On the inside, the current Edge has a dated interior design with a V-shaped center console, vertically oriented air vents, and large physical controls. A large touchscreen that’s vertically oriented sits in the middle of the dashboard and slightly juts out of the center console. To increase storage space in the center console, the Edge has a dial shifter. We expect the 2023 Edge to have the same interior design as the current SUV on sale.
Ford updated the Edge’s list of tech features for 2022. These features should carry over unchanged for the 2023 model year. Standard features on the current SUV include a 12-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, a Wi-Fi hot spot, six audio speakers, and four USB ports. Available tech features include navigation, a wireless charging pad, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Under the hood, the current Edge comes with a standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 250 horsepower. The ST trim comes with a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine that’s rated at 335 hp. All-wheel drive is standard for the Edge. The base four-cylinder comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the V6 has a seven-speed automatic transmission. These engines should be available on the 2023 model.
Every Edge comes with Ford Co-Pilot 360 as standard equipment. Standard features on the SUV include automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high-beam assist, and rear parking sensors. Available safety features include evasive steering assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic park assist, and a front-view camera.
