2019 Ford Edge Review

 The Ford Edge has been a buyer favorite for several years now, but the new 2019 Edge is divided into two uniquely interesting models: The Edge and the Edge ST. Now, buyers can get the model that suits their needs best, with both sharing some of the most desirable technology on the market.

Drivers in Milledgeville, Eatonton, and Sparta can learn more about the 2019 Edge with our in-depth model review.

Ford Edge Performance

 The main difference between the Edge and the Edge ST is the powertrain. The regular Edge is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 EcoBoost® engine with 250 horsepower, whereas the ST packs a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 that adds significant athleticism to the previous Sport model with 355 horsepower.

The 4-cylinder's fuel economy and performance are enhanced by a brand-new 8-speed automatic transmission that replaces last year's 6-speed. Auto stop/start and front-wheel drive are standard for all models, with all-wheel drive optional. The ST shares the 8-speed automatic and includes all-wheel drive standard, as well as specialized tuning that improves the smoothness and responsiveness of the transmission.

2019 Edge Interior

The 2019 Edge styling and interior carries over mostly unchanged, with a few notable exceptions. The center console is reconfigured for a new rotary-dial shifter that improves the usability of the space, and the entire design is minimalistic and streamlined. Otherwise, it still comfortably seats five passengers in supportive, plush seating that maximizes the available legroom and headroom for long-distance comfort.

The Edge also comes with the Sync® infotainment setup of the previous model, though it's now configured for the Ford+Alexa app. This feature allows you to access your smart-home assistance from within the vehicle using your smartphone, providing virtually limitless entertainment and connectivity options. There's also a Wi-Fi® hotspot that can support up to 10 devices, as well as an onboard data connection to increase connectivity.

Safety Specs: Ford Edge SUV

 The best change for the 2019 Edge is the inclusion of advanced safety features. Already a safe and well-built vehicle, the new Edge includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Lane-Departure Warning, Automatic High Beams, Lane-Keep Assist, and Forward-Collision Warning on every Edge model. These features work together to help you avoid collisions from the front, rear, and sides of your vehicle, as well as deploying preventive measures to mitigate a potential collision once detected.

Evasive steering-assist is a new technology for 2019, which is available for the Edge. This effectively boosts the existing safety technology by enhancing defensive steering inputs with radar and camera data. The Adaptive Cruise Control has improved as well, with the capability of bringing the vehicle to a full stop and providing minor self-steering capability for safer highway travel.
