The 2024 Edge has almost all of the same features as the 2023 model year. Ford just changed the free trial times for its Edge subscription services. The streaming service from Ford is now free for a whole year, not just 30 days. Also, the built-in mapping is now free for three years, not just one.

Pros

• Big screens for entertainment.
• Large inside.
• The Rapid ST Model.

Cons

• Almost ten years old.
• Being rude while driving.
• The material could have been better.

The base model’s 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine should be enough for most drivers, even though it speeds up unevenly. Check out the Edge ST if you want an SUV that can go faster than a Volkswagen Golf GTI from 0 to 60 miles per hour, among other fast cars. It has 21-inch wheels with summer tires and a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine that makes 335 hp. Even though it’s not as quick as our favorite SUV, the Mazda CX-9, the Edge ST is still fun to drive and, unlike non-ST models, stays stable when going around corners. It’s easy to ride on rough ground, and the turning is nicely weighted but could be more expressive.

Some of the helpful driver-assistance features that come standard are automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot tracking. As an extra, you can get more advanced features. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) have websites where you can find out more about the Edge’s crash test findings. Some important safety factors are:

• Normal automatic stopping in an emergency.
• Exits will have consistent lane direction and warnings.
• You can get adaptive speed control.

With room for four people, the Edge’s two-row trunk is great for road trips or commuting. The materials used inside are nice, but the fit and finish of the panels are fine. For example, in our test car, we found some dashboard parts that needed to be lined up properly. Inside, there is a lot of room for both people and luggage, and the style is simple all around. We recommend the two-row crossover section if you need to keep things in the trunk. The Edge could fit 29 of our carry-on bags because the back seats could be folded down. Edge’s well-designed storage cubbies and slightly larger cabins could be the deciding factors, even though its competitors’ cargo spaces are almost similar.

When it comes to gas mileage, the faster ST model gets 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Four-cylinder automobiles earn 21 city and 28 highway mpg. One important fact is that many four-cylinder cars only get 20 mpg in the city. The four-cylinder ST-Line model let us down; it only got 24 mpg on our 75-mph fuel economy run. The six-cylinder ST did a little better in the same test, getting an average of 25 mpg, which was what it was supposed to do.

All versions of the Edge come with Ford’s newest Sync 4A software interface, which has a big 12.0-inch tablet display. For their most basic features, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both use a wireless link. All Ford Edge models come with a Wi-Fi hotspot, but in-dash navigation is still a choice.

The ST type may be appealing because it has a more powerful V-6 engine, but its price is different. We would choose the SEL type, which has a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, as a middle ground. There is a price difference, but the SEL upgrade has a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a partially digital gauge display, a nine-speaker sound system, heated front seats, a six-way power-adjustable passenger seat, and LED fog lamps that make up for it.
