In the midsize crossover segment, the 2024 Ford Edge stands out with its unique combination of interior refinement and thrilling power. The Edge is family-friendly, but it’s equally thirsty for adventure, with standard all-wheel drive and sporty upgrades available.
Key Takeaways
- Although the 2023 Edge was supposed to be the last, Ford surprised us with another hurrah for this gas-powered midsize crossover.
- Inside the 2024 Edge, you’ll find two spacious rows and seating for up to five passengers.
- Two powertrains are available for the 2024 Edge, the most powerful of which streaks by competitors with 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque!
- The Edge is a popular midsize crossover, but, as part of its big plans for a greener lineup, Ford plans to replace it with an all-electric model.
Is Ford making the Edge in 2024?
Yes! Like us, you probably thought 2023 was the final year for the Ford Edge. However, since Ford is still working on its upcoming EVs, there’s enough factory space for one last Edge model year. So it looks like, this time, it really is that final model year for Ford’s popular midsize crossover.
For 2024, the Edge carries over unchanged from last year. The only difference from last year is that you’ll enjoy longer free trials of available subscription services. The Connected navigation system now comes with a three-year trial, instead of last year’s one-year trial. And Ford’s streaming service now comes with a one-year trial, up from 30 days.
How many people can fit in the 2024 Ford Edge?
These midsize crossovers seat up to five people in roomy comfort! We think you’ll also be pleased with the Edge’s seating support and plush padding. And the standard lineup is a people-pleaser, too, keeping you satisfied during long trips with dual-zone automatic climate control and SYNC 4 infotainment.
And thanks to five available trim models (SE, SEL, ST-Line, Titanium, and ST), you get to decide how much luxury you want to purchase. For instance, the Edge SEL adds power-adjustable, heated front seats and faux-leather upholstery. The ST-Line has sporty style, with 20-inch gloss-black wheels and ActiveX faux-leather seating.
In the Titanium, you’ll be riding high with genuine leather upholstery and driver’s seat memory settings. The ST’s comfort features are similar to that of the Titanium, but this Edge has its own style, with leather and faux-suede upholstery, front sport seats, and silver accent stitching.
How much horsepower does the 2024 Ford Edge make?
The Edge offers two speedy engine options, delivering up to 335 horsepower. The high-performance Edge ST trim model features an exclusive twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6, making it the fastest Edge. Other ST upgrades include a sport-tuned suspension and front sport seats.
If the Edge ST is a little too potent for your daily drive, you can turn down the heat slightly with any other Edge model. These come with a 250-horsepower turbocharged engine. For most people, that’s plenty of power! All Edge trim models come with all-wheel drive, too, so you can count on sporty handling on the pavement and increased stability on the trail.
Here’s a look at your 2024 Edge engine options:
- Standard turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) and eight-speed automatic transmission
- ST models: turbo 2.7L V6 (335 hp, 380 lb-ft) and seven-speed automatic transmission
- All-wheel drive
What will replace the Ford Edge?
Truth be told, we don’t know exactly what will replace the Edge, only that it will be one of Ford’s upcoming EV models. Knowing Ford like we do, though, we suspect they’re planning to release a family-friendly crossover that balances power with a generous battery range.
