2023 Ford Edge
Overview
The 2023 Ford Edge mid-sized SUV may mostly chauffeur kids back and forth to school events, but its stylish exterior will turn heads even in the grocery store parking lot. When you’re ready to head out into the great outdoors, all-wheel drive options and wash-clean floorboard covers help you enjoy your weekend adventures. It’s an all-around smaller SUV with plenty of flexibility and usefulness, including a healthy towing capacity with the right tow package. Your passengers will be mostly focused on how much space they get to themselves in the cabin. With seating up to five, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who regularly carpools or is a family driver. Yet it’s also packed with some of the latest technology you’ve come to expect in your vehicle, including a roving vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot and voice-activated navigation features.
The Perfect Ride For…
Drivers who need more seating but who don’t want to give up the handling of a powerful luxury sedan. The 2023 Ford Edge has more power than ever under the hood, especially if you choose the larger V6 engine option. You won’t feel left behind in traffic again, helping you get through your commute as smoothly as possible. It’s also a good option for drivers accumulated to the handling of a large sedan who are still getting comfortable with SUV handling. This Ford model provides a smooth transition between the two different designs, making it a good introduction to the world of crossover vehicles. If you’re looking for an SUV that has decent fuel efficiency, it also meets those requirements as well.
Drive and Handling
The 2023 Ford Edge has two engines to choose from. Pick the 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine for 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Or upgrade to the 2.7-liter V6 model to enjoy the feeling of 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. The automatic 8-speed manual transmission helps you optimize both performance and fuel efficiency, while Sport mode gives you a boost for passing or dealing with heavy traffic. The intelligent all-wheel drive system is optional but recommended if you enjoy traveling gravel and dirt roads in search of adventure. The 2023 model offers a combined fuel efficiency of 23 miles per gallon for the 2.0-liter engine and 21 miles per gallon for the 2.7-liter option.
Speaking of dirt roads, this crossover SUV includes a smooth suspension for gravel roads and a quiet sound-dampening cabin. If you want to bring along plenty of gear, choose a trim package that offers a total towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. Dependable and yet still fun to drive on a daily basis, the 2023 Ford Edge is a good compromise for anyone who needs a mid-sized SUV with a stylish look.
Key Features
More Standard Safety
Every new 2023 Ford, including the Edge, has basic and advanced safety features included as standard rather than options for upgrading. This includes the entire Co-Pilot 360 technology suite from Ford. Evasive steering assist kicks in to help you deal with dangerous road situations, while the cross-lane traffic alerts keep you updated.
Generous Capability
While many mid-sized SUVs are more tuned for fuel efficiency than performance, the Ford Edge offers both in the same package. The V6 engine may put out 335 HP, but it’s still an EcoBoost model with a healthy combined fuel efficiency of over 20 miles per gallon. You don’t have to give up on responsiveness just to spend less at the gas pump.
