Impressive mechanics
To power this Ford Edge, Ford relies on two turbocharged engines from the Ecoboost family. Most versions use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that provides 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. But a more dynamic, more muscular version is also part of the Edge’s catalogue. It’s the ST version, equipped with a 2.7-litre V6 that delivers 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.
This type of engine provides effortless and satisfying accelerations, especially when paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission renowned for its smoothness.
Several versions
The basic Edge SE is only offered in all-wheel drive. To opt for a front-wheel-drive version, you would have to go to the SEL, which offers both options. The next model up, the new ST-Line, is also available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive; however, it still doesn’t provide all the power of the most dynamic Edge model despite its name. Instead, it boasts an attractive package but doesn’t have the more powerful engine of the ST. The all-wheel-drive-only Titanium version complements the 2.0L engine lineup, while the V6-powered ST is also all-wheel-drive-only.
The switch from SE to SEL adds features such as an auto-dimming mirror, remote starter, power heated front seats (with three heat settings), roof rails, a reverse gear detection system in addition to the standard rearview camera, and an exterior entry keypad. This can become handy if you don’t want to carry your key to the beach or on your hike. Opt for the Titanium model, and you’ll get a hands-free tailgate, power steering column, wireless phone charging, premium sound system, leather seats and a few more bells and whistles.
Built to excite, the 2021 Ford Edge and performance-oriented Edge ST add smart new technologies, including a new standard largest-in-class 12-inch size center screen, all-new SYNC® 4A with connected built-in navigation and cloud connectivity with conversational voice recognition, plus refinements to Edge’s interior and exterior design.
