2023 Ford Edge
The Edge is one of eight SUVs produced by Ford. This sporty and attractive mid-size SUV lies between the smaller Escape and the larger Explorer.

There are five models in the 2023 Edge lineup. At the entry level is the SE, which starts at $39,879. Next is the SEL at $43,699, with the ST-Line at $46,589 and the Titanium at $47,919. The range is rounded off with the ST at $54,469.
Features
The Edge underwent a major revamp in 2022, so it’s unlikely that there’ll be any significant changes in 2023.
The Edge has always enjoyed bold and aggressive styling. The cabin is roomy, comfortable, and quiet. There’s seating for five, and the seats are upholstered in cloth, but both synthetic and genuine leather are options, as are power-adjustable front seats and a heated steering wheel.
The Edge’s suspension soaks up the bumps in the road, and the standard all-wheel-drive provides exceptional grip in all weather and road conditions.
Specs
The standard engine for the 2023 Ford Edge is a 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder pas-powered engine making 250hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. The ST has an upgraded powertrain with a 2.7L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that pushes out 335hp and 380 lb-ft torque. All the models have an eight-speed automatic transmission, which shifts smoothly and gives a comfortable ride with no noticeable gear changes.
The SE and SEL have 45.72cm wheels, while the Titanium has 48.26cm nickel-plated aluminum wheels. The ST-Line and ST have 50.8cm wheels, with those on the ST-Line painted gloss black, while the ST has aluminum wheels with black pockets.
Moreover, the Ford Edge for 2023 has a full range of Ford’s safety and driver assist features, ensuring you and your family stay safe on the road.
Performance
The performance model in the Ford Edge range for 2023 is the ST. The specially tuned twin-turbo V6 is equipped for sporty handling with a performance brake package and sport suspension as options.
The standard four-cylinder in the other models is no slouch. This motor moves the Edge along at freeway speeds with reasonable acceleration.
These four-cylinder models will return fuel consumption figures of 11 L/100km around town and 8.0 L/100km on the freeway. The more thirsty V6 in the ST still gives excellent fuel consumption figures of 12 L/100km around town and 9 L/100km on the highway.
Infotainment
The Edge has a 30.48cm touchscreen running all the infotainment options from Ford’s SYNC 4A with enhanced voice recognition. This easy-to-use touchscreen supports split screen and boasts satellite radio, smartphone integration for Android and Apple, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and USB ports.
Conclusion
The Ford Edge is a great family vehicle. This smallish SUV is easy to drive and park in and has ample space inside for five adults with their luggage.
