2024 Ford Edge Review and Specs

The 2024 Ford Edge is categorized as a mid-size SUV, but instead of having a third row as its larger sibling, the Explorer, has a two-row configuration that is more roomy and comfortable. The base four-cylinder engine offers good performance, the trunk is spacious, and the interior is straightforward and well-appointed. The Edge has a sleek, attractive look as well. However, in comparison to rivals like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Honda Passport, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, it feels antiquated since it has been on sale since 2019 with no updates. The Edge's beginning price, which is even more than that of superior three-row SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride, doesn't help its cause.

What Is 2024 Bringing?

Almost all of the Edge's features are carried over for the 2024 model year. Ford merely changed the length of the Edge's free trial periods for its subscription services. Ford's streaming service is now free for a full year instead of just 30 days, and the integrated built-in navigation is now free for three years instead of just one.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The 2024 Ford Edge ranges in price from $39,960 to $48,700, depending on the model and extras.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

Although it accelerates erratically, the base model's 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder should be more than enough for most users. Check the Edge ST box if you're searching for an SUV that can keep up with a Volkswagen Golf GTI from zero to sixty miles per hour—and quite a few other fast vehicles as well. It comes with a 335-hp twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6 and 21-inch wheels shod in summer tires. While it lacks the agility of our favorite crossover, the MazdaCX-9, the Edge ST is nevertheless a fun car to drive and, in contrast to non-ST versions, offers comforting stability while navigating curves. Its ride is agreeable over uneven terrain, and its steering is neatly weighted albeit not very intuitive.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

The Edge's two-row interior is suitable for a road trip or commute, with enough room for four persons. The materials used in the cabin are tastefully chosen, yet there are some panel fit and finish issues; in our test car, we found a few misaligned dashboard components. There is ample space inside for both passengers and luggage, and the overall interior design is modest and straightforward. Should you find it vital to store clutter in the trunk, the two-row-crossover segment is a terrific facilitator. When the back seats were folded, the Edge could fit 29 of our carry-on bags. Although the cargo rooms of its rivals are almost equal, the Edge's well-considered storage cubbies and little larger cabin might be the deciding factors.

Connectivity and Entertainment

Ford's newest Sync 4A software interface, with a large 12.0-inch touchscreen display, is standard equipment on all Edge models. Both basic features, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, operate via a wireless connection. All Edge models from Ford come with a Wi-Fi hotspot as well, but in-dash navigation is still an optional extra.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

Automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring are just a few of the desired driver-assistance systems that come standard. More sophisticated functions are available as extras. Visit the websites of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for further details on the Edge's crash test results. Important safety characteristics consist of:

• Typical automatic braking in an emergency
• Regular lane-keeping assistance and lane-departure warning
• Adaptive cruise control is available.

Guarantee and Upkeep Reportage

The Edge's warranty coverage isn't particularly unique; rather, it's standard for the industry with no distinguishing features.

• A limited warranty is valid for 36 months or 36,000 miles.
• A powertrain warranty is valid for 60,000 miles or five years.
• No free planned maintenance

FAQ's

Q1. Is there enough power in the Ford Edge?

The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine powering the majority of 2024 Edge models produces 250 horsepower, which is sufficient power for most purchasers.

Q2 What does the Ford Edge's future hold?

"A 2025 Edge will not be produced." Although there had been years of rumors that the Edge was coming to an end, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus makeover raised the possibility that there may be another Edge generation. Delivery of the Nautilus is anticipated this quarter after production was moved from Ford's Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada, to China.
