The Edge ST is the first SUV from the Ford Performance Team. This edition of the Ford Edge offers a wide range of options and features that are sure to impress the high-performance crossover and SUV consumer.

Performance

When it comes to a high-performance vehicle of any kind, one of the first features that a potential buyer focuses on is its engine. The performance and power associated with that engine is typically what elevates a vehicle from the ordinary to the extraordinary. The 2019 Ford Edge ST is equipped with a turbocharged Ecoboost 2.7 liter V-6 engine. This engine produces 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. When tested, the Ford Edge ST went from zero to 60 in 5.7 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 14.3 seconds topping out at 98 miles per hour.

Accompanying the high-performance engine in the 2019 Ford Edge ST is an equally impressive transmission. The Edge ST offers an eight-speed automatic transmission that provides both a regular drive mode along with performance-oriented Sport mode. The Sport mode has a more aggressive shift schedule that holds the gears longer for maximum acceleration. The Edge ST is equipped with paddle shifters to give the vehicle a very sporty feel.

Exterior

The exterior design of the 2019 Ford Edge ST gives it a high-performance look to accompany its sporty feel and output. The Edge ST has an exclusively designed front fascia that is highlighted by a larger mesh grille. This design not only adds to the sporty style of the vehicle but also offers more cooling, so it is functional as well. In addition to the larger grille, the Edge ST also has bigger side sills and a specially designed dual exhaust.

One feature that is sure to catch the eye are that wheels of the 2019 Ford Edge ST. The standard 20-inch Bright-Machined Aluminum with High Gloss Black-Painted Pockets are very stylish and sporty. However, with any high-performance vehicle there are always bigger options. The Edge ST also offers 21-inch Premium Gloss-Black Painted Aluminum Wheels.

Safety

Safety is at the forefront of impressive features with the 2019 Ford Edge ST. The Ford CoPilot360 is a suite of driver assisted technologies designed at protecting the vehicle’s occupants in case of an accident, but also helps to prevent one from occurring in the first place. Among the features included in the Ford CoPilot360 suite are Blind Spot Information System with cross traffic alert, rearview camera, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, auto high-beam headlamps, and Lane-Keeping System. These safety features make the Ford Edge ST a well-rounded vehicle as it combines performance with security.
