TFL, can you tell us if you liked the vehicle? I found it a very generic review. Does it handle well, does it seem powerful? Is it quiet?

[@mr.2cents.846]

I wish they had a more serious tach. Am not crazy about the face update. Makes it look like a blown up Focus. The older face looks sportier.

[@jdubayou9498]

You must be forgetting the the flex ecoboost 3.5 l 365 tq 365hp

[@Buddy_7522]

Big fan of both channels

[@JaydenPrinc]

I heard Ford edge are very smooth annd easy to handle is it good for a new driver ​@@TFLcar

[@ccvr6]

But, for a daily driver, Ford Edges are solid cars. I had a 2014 Sport model, and am considering the ST. At pre-owned prices, this is an excellent choice.

[@Goldenwoodz]

Omg they are SUCH solid cars. I’d never ditch that older Edge with those big 22s for a new ST, it’s too bold and a true classic well built “old” Ford…I think the new ST ones are hideous compared to the last two previous generations of Edge Sports prior to the new 2019 “ST” sport model. ST should of been left with the focus only as that was an exclusive trim name for that car for many years and only by itself alone, now the Explorer comes in a ST model and the Edge now, shocked they didn’t throw the fusion sport off into that too.

[@blake343]

If you want one vehicle for all your needs all year round that will handle almost any road condition but you also want to have fun driving it then these sporty suvs are perfect. Don't know why everyone is bitching about it, not all of us have the money or space for multiple vehicles that serve multiple purposes. This is a jack of all trades, master of none but still pretty damn good at all of them. They're also incredibly safe and they have more versatility than 95% of the population will need from any type of vehicle 95% of the time. I think it's a pretty damn good rig....

[@utamav]

55k for an ST badged Edge Sport? 6 seconds to 60? Same cheap interior as years prior with plastic buttons? At this price I’m a hard PASS.

[@Jeff-or6em]

Buy a Volvo XC60 Rdesign Polestar. 330 horsepower. Volvo way better looking and is world car of year.

[@Jeff-or6em]

Devin Bender T6 is 316 horsepower but get Tune my Volvo Performance Team POLESTAR then Volvo horsepower is 330 ( that what I have). Just like Edge sport 315 horsepower then tune by Ford performance team ST then 335 horespower. Ford has performance blue and Volvo has performance blue they call it Bursting Blue Metallic. Volvo amazing seats ,luxury inside.

[@Jolleyroger848]

Didnt he say around 5.9 sec in the video, Edge Sport was already a porker at 4400 pounds, sounds like the new ST gained even more weight with all the new tech and features

[@weiguangji6157]

David Cox there is a SUV call X3 M40i :)

[@jlang8213]

Especially since you can get a LINCOLN MKX with the same engine, awd and all of the features for the same price.....

[@randomuploads1015]

The fact they have an ST version of this makes me happy.Shows how open minded and customer oriented car companies are becoming and deff not boring.I like it.

[@sppeders1]

Just bought one, 55,000 miles on it for $23K. Really looking forward to driving it the next few years.

[@travisrc4372]

Dear Ford, please fire the team that has been designing vehicle interiors for the past few years. The center stack and instrument cluster are horrendous. Who thought it was a good idea to have an expensive edge ST, police interceptor, and an entry level Ford Taurus all share the exact same interior?

[@Ig0r15]

They're probably waiting for 2020 model line.

[@coolkid7151]

Their interiors are great you just like to think theyre bad. Normal people know that theyre very good compared to competition.

[@MrSamwiseable]

@@coolkid7151 yeah people LOVE to hate on the car brands that have stood the test of time, such as Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc. and LOVE to praise up and coming companies like Kia and Hyundai, but from the amount of research I've done on those vehicles, they still have a lot of catching up to do for me to even consider buying those brands. Lots of cheap parts and terrible customer service spells disaster for owning one

[@VanquishedAgain]

Agree. They used whatever they had in the spare parts bin

[@VanquishedAgain]

@@coolkid7151 the nav screen and gauge cluster aren't. The rest of the interior is tho

[@nathanlietzan391]

As a owner of a Fiesta ST I thought of this as a joke, but this video completely changed my mind, I can see myself getting this if I ever had kids, perfect balance between fun, and practical

[@Goldenwoodz]

We have a 2016 Sport, absolutely love it and would never consider an ST. We think it’s hideous compared to the last two generations of Edge Sports and I think nobody ever talked about the Edge sports or noticed them much until the ST came along. Older ones seemed visually bolder in my opinion, especially the 2014 with huge 22in rims, you’ll never see that again after that year. ST was exclusive for the little Focuses n Fiestas and should of stayed at that, that was unique to them specifically but at least the new one still has a V6, thank god.

[@jmurphy1973]

I need to test drive one of these. I've had my eye on it since they first unveiled it. Could do without the sunroof, though.

[@jefferym2568]

Without a sunroof ? Wtf is wrong with you that’s the best part .

[@zachtremblay4618]

[@TestTest-fm2cu]

These engineers all say the same buzzwords to perk up people’s ears. This thing has a high center of gravity, 6 seconds to 60 isn’t really that fast and to replace the fiesta and focus st with it is hilarious.

[@NukePooch1]

Agreed. Soils the "ST" badge.

[@rustlesee]

This replaces the Edge Sport, not the Focus ST or Fiesta ST. I'd assume there may be an Escape ST and Ecosport ST to handle that.

[@grocerygrip]

Being a former FoST owner this is certainly an abomination the the ST name. Clearly this is the new "ST" for mainstream America, in an effort to produce that which ONLY generates profit. Niche vehicles, need not apply for FoMoCo

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

Why should people that need to haul their kids, pets, and all their gear have to drive boring, ill handling, slow vehicles? Look outside your tiny world and see that there are other people out there with different lifestyles.

[@norwegianblue2017]

My 8 year old NA V6 car with 50 fewer HP is pretty much identical speed. Granted, it is a sedan, not a crossover. Call me crazy, but I would rather spend an extra $5k and get a Jeep SRT8 which has a real beast engine and will blow the doors off this Ford.

[@myroadtours6147]

Agreed, I've seen the new Blazer and Jimmy up close and they look like a rebadged Transverse to me. Great for hauling kids to school and grocery shopping but nothing I would take off road. The new Edge ST kinda reminds me of a Rally Cross car like the Focus RS or WRX but with slightly more room.

[@matthewlongtin4148]

Considering Ford introduced the Edge ST (and they already had the Sport), I'm interested to see if Chevy follows suit with a Blazer SS, not just an RS appearance package.

[@essel23fly]

I love to get in on that stuff you’re smoking.

[@MichaelMiller-rg6or]

My only problem with the new Blazer is that they called it the Blazer. They should have called it the Traverse Sport.

[@mazda_miata_]

Ty _ My brother had a 2013 ST. Had a bigger intercooler, Cobb tune and some other things here and there. Thing was a beast. When you can afford one, buy it because they’re crazy cheap for what you get. Better yet, get an RS - I can’t imagine how much torque you can get with AWD and that motor

[@poppyneese1811]

Not a SUV man, but I gotta say this little 2.7 Turbo engine is stout, can’t help but smile as it easily powers my F150 4WD STX Crew Cab from light to light, this is the best running quietist engine I’ve ever had in a vehicle! I love this engine in my truck.

[@Goldenwoodz]

[@TheNYyanks]

Got my wife a white one.... pretty descent, good gas mileage and lots of additions but tires for 21in rims are kinda spendy wherever you go and also we live in North Dakota so left it out one night and it rained before it snowed, could only go around the block cause water got underneath the sunroof and then froze.... it sounded horrible like it was gonna shatter at any second Once and awhile you have to clean around it. Got a cold air intake for it and this thing sounds very impressive!

[@m2858]

Damn props to Ford🇺🇸 looks dope!

[@riceetr1260]

With the previous model the edge sport doing 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds , this car has 20 horsepower, 30 ft lbs torque more. With a better suspension and 8 speed trans with better gearing then the previous models 6 speed . Low 5 second 0 to 60 times easily and high 13 seconds quarter mile. All you need is a Livernois tune and it will cut those times dramatically, they gained with no other mods besides tune and 93 octane. 100 horsepower and torque with the Previous model Edge Sport!

[@riceetr1260]

Devin Bender I agree , the fuel system may not be able to handle it though , E30 mix is what will work though looks like

[@riceetr1260]

Devin Bender definitely man , any car on e85 with supercharger or turbo gain huge from the added octane and cooling of the ethanol . Curious to see how the fuel system is

[@Thisiscrazy2023]

Those aged gauges need to go

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Ricardo Hernandez agreed. I hate those gauges on the Edge. I also hate when they change the exhaust tips to an up and down position instead of the sideways positions that they were originally. To me the exhaust tips look sportyier on the edge sport

[@vh9network]

Yep yep, there's a KZbin video from 2008 of Mercury Murano with the same gauges. 10 year old technology in a new 2019 ST badged SUV.

[@poker_18rs92]

So they are going from a 2018 Focus ST1 base that starts around 20k, to a 55k SUV ST? Yea that makes a lot of sense. Who is behind this decision making at Ford? And I thought a 40k RS was too much..... Now we have 55k+ Edge ST & 50k Explorer Sports.

[@jlucguerrier]

Waited for reviews all summer long. Durango SRT vs Edge ST... decisions, decisions... What a great time for truck lovers!

[@stephenhendricks103]

If you're looking for a "truck," I think the Durango is a better choice. Haven't driven the Edge ST but I seriously considered the 2018 Edge Sport and liked it. But while the Durango, like the Edge, is a unibody rather than a body-on-frame SUV, it's offers much better "truck-like" features, especially when it comes to towing.

[@jlucguerrier]

I agree. So I guess it's now down to the Cherokee SRT or Durango SRT. Thanks!

[@stephenhendricks103]

I am going to add Bilstein Shocks ($400.00) and a tune..370hp/400tq ($500.00) and it will be almost perfect!!

[@TriptoCo]

Lol. Sucker, you purchased a shitbox. Enjoy your Ford. Lol!

[@dragon81heart]

Agreed, the Edge Sport looked a lot better

[@stephenhendricks103]

I think you made a good deal. As I said in another comment, I looked at the 2018 Edge Sport fairly seriously and liked it. But since the car is mainly for my wife as her daily driver and the family for trips, the Kia Sorento outpointed it in our assessment. We had an offer from a dealer similar to yours, about $40K fully loaded with everything but the winter package. For 2019 a similarly configured Edge ST has an MSRP over $50K. Real world prices are different from MSRP, of course, but I suspect even a very good deal wouldn't drop the price below $45-$46K. And that will have to wait to see how strong the demand turns out to be.

[@rotart12arx3]

First go to www.ford.com and sign up for their emails and promotions. This will usually get you at least a $750.00 Private Offer from Ford. There are no 2019 on the dealers lots yet, but on the 2018 they were doing the following programs last month. These programs always come up during holidays or model end clearance. That means if you really want a good price you may have to wait for next summer. Programs for last month were $1500.00 Retail Customer Cash, $1000.00 Retail Bonus Cash, an additional $750.00 Bonus Cash, $500.00 bonus on over 90 day old inventory, $500.00 Ford Credit Bonus Cash, my $750.00 Private Offer Cash and Dealers have Certs which are for $250.00, at the end of the month they used them to put deals together, they used 4 for me. That totaled $6000.00 in rebates and I got a 2018 Edge for Invoice minus that 6k. That is how you do it. Programs change every month and don't expect to many when it just comes out. Also the ST starts at 43K, which will have about $1500.00 mark up in that price. You don't need to get ever option possible unless you have money to blow. That is how you get a deal.

2 more practical ford vehicles you can buy for 50-55k: Fully loaded Explorer Sport, and F-150 lariat. Both have higher power output with more room. I like the Edge ST, but it should be priced about the same as the Sport trim it is replacing which is only 15hp less. Used Value will surely go down after a couple of years so I'd wait until then to buy one.

[@Onkelrico]

$55.000.- for all that cheap plastic, small screen, and no digital cluster??? Audi Q5 is actually cheaper, when spec’d comparable, matter of fact, comes stock with more than this POS Ford comes with and does 0-60 in less than 6 seconds as well. With a single turbo and a 2.0l engine. Bump it up, and you can actually get a base SQ5 with 3.0l twin turbo which does 0-60 in 5 seconds or less....also, I bet an Audi’s value won’t drop like that of a Ford.

[@SkysurvCoNz]

You're on drugs calling this a POS, when you own anything built by VAG. I really wouldn't go down the resale route, and then there is reliability of Volkswagen. Which like it or not is crap. This engine is night and day better than the oil burning Audi anchors. Remove your blinkers fanboy.

[@rotart12arx3]

Number one you can buy a ST in the low 40's, and stock it will run 5.5 zero to sixty before a tuner. There is nothing in that price range that can do it and still carry a family. Q 5 has much less cargo room, won't fit 3 in the back seat as comfortable as the Edge and Edmunds clocks it at 6.2 from zero to sixty and a ton of reviews with quality problems.

[@CCBZRG]

Cost of ownership for an Audi here in the U.S. would also be a factor to consider. It would likely be substantially higher.

[@lanemorrow5513]

Sky Surv Aviation couldn't agree more. That guy's bolted the Volkswagen sunglasses to his head

[@ThePokeCzech]

Sky Surv Aviation Audi is ranked higher as a brand than Ford in overall dependability by JD Power. Audi in the last 5-10 years has quietly gone from being one of the least reliable to most reliable car manufacturers. I personally have two recent model Volkswagens and have had ZERO issues.

[@replacement4displacementr492]

6 sec 0-60 is pretty quick for a suv of that size plus you can always turn up the boost

[@NukePooch1]

Good review, but Ford's just phoning it in at this point. Old reviews pegged the Edge Sport @ 5.6 sec 0-60. This is a Sport with an ST badge stuck on it. Pass.

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

So you didn't watch the video... Got it...

[@NukePooch1]

Not sure what you're getting at. The video I saw showed that there is very little difference between the "new" Edge ST and the Edge Sport. A mild tune and some swaybars does not make a "performance" car...and it definitely doesn't make a Ford ST.

[@TheRealSmithFamily]

20% stiffer rear springs. 10% stiffer fronts, brake and cooling package available, mono tube over dual tube shocks/struts, solid sway bars, different front and rear facia to differentiate it from standard Edge's, power increase, 8 speed transmission, completely different AWD system with tq vectoring, software changes for improved driving dynamics. Sure, it's not a completely NEW vehicle, but Ford NEVER claimed it to be completely new. IMO, they took a good vehicle and improved upon it. I don't see the downside here!

The downside is they called it as ST. The ST has been a driver-focused, manual-transmission sporty car for cheap. This Edge is a slight upgrade to the Edge Sport with a massive price tag. It's not an ST. Had they left it called the Sport, there'd be no complaint from me.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Gee - put a tune on the outgoing Edge Sport and upgrade the sway bars and charge thousands more! Brilliant! I owned a 2011 and then a 2016 Edge Sport - in every way the 2016 was much better than the previous normally aspirated (3.7l) based Edge. I'm glad to see that Ford is continuing on with these improvements.

[@nismo370z4]

That interior looks kind of cheap. Those switches for the heated seats are quite cheap. I like when the engineer says they went with "vented" brake rotors, like that is some new tech. This thing has a lot of power and torque but is miles behind other small suv's like the Mazda Cx5 as far as style and interior design, and surely the price puts it in competition with european vehicles.

Just don't get the negative comments. For an SUV in the 40k range new, this is pretty awesome. It costs less than an Audi Q5 2.0T - an SUV with a very generic and comparatively weak engine that you can get in a $19000 VW, and very plain looks. It's in the same price range as an Acura RDX AWD 6-cyl tech package, or an AWD QX60 - and both of those SUVs have 0-60 times over 7s while this one is likely to have low 5s 0-60. Like TFL said, to get this kind of performance from an SUV you have to break into the 65K+ range, while you can get it with the Edge ST for mid 40k range. I think the look, for an SUV, is also pretty awesome compared to the others. If you see this SUV on the road, you'll know there is something special about it just from the styling. When was the last time you thought there was something special about an RDX, QX60, or a Q5?

2019 Acura RDX has 0-60 time under 6 seconds!

[@dumbestbiscuit]

@@emmcey No, it doesn't. There's a SEMA version that can supposedly do that but that is one of a kind. Everyman did a 0-60 on a 2019 RDX and got 7.97s with the new 2.0T. That's a fail. The 2012-2014 Edge base model V6 can do 0-60 in the mid 6s range, and the 4cyl turbo edges regularly run 7.7s 0-60. High 7s range is very ho-hum for an Acura RDX that starts at $40k when you consider that base Edge regularly sells for ~$23k for similar performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWbMiJyYpbV5erc

Those are actually 6.4L engines. They far surpass the edge st or explorer ST in performance. The RTs are the 5.7 and are around a similar price but actually slower than the edge st and far worse handling. The SRTs are 20k more expensive. The point remains tho. There really isn't a direct competitor to the edge ST. Probably the best competitor is the new acura RDX for the same price. It's slower tho.

[@Trussme96]

This is the logical conclusion of current car buyer trends and the irrationality of American buyers. Its a Mid Sized CUV with a turbo charged engine geared toward emissions and fuel economy with sporty suspension, no manual option and an appearance package. Its the most cynical piece of machinery I've ever seen since Nissan turned the Pathfinder into a borderline Minivan. This thing is soulless and will be remembered as the vehicle that proved that car manufacturers could actually sell themselves out even harder than they did in the early 2000s. Buyers want something sporty but they don't want a sports sedan or coupe. They want something fuel efficient and cheap to maintain but they won't buy a compact 4 cylinder car. They want cargo space but refuse to buy station wagons or even hatchbacks anymore. And then everyone complains when they end up spending 40 grand on a Crossover cause they wanted everything in one package including an assload of unnecessary safety gizmos that are gonna break in a few years and leather seats they didn't need. If any of you want to support this instead of cars that are actually good, you go right ahead. I'm just gonna save up and stop eating so much overpriced fast food so I can have an actual sports car on the side instead of whatever this confused amalgamation of plastic and cheap iron is supposed to be.

Unfortunately my lease is up late December. I currently have a 2015 ford edge and really wanted this. According to my dealership this car isn't coming out till middle of the year.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Took a serious look at the 2018 Ford Edge Sport earlier this year. I liked it. My wife (who is the daily driver of the vehicle) not so much. For 2019 Ford has added a little power, an eight speed transmission (versus the previous six speed), and some bells and whistles that Ford claims merits the ST badge. All of that comes with a significant price increase. I'll withhold judgment since I haven't driven it but I'm skeptical that it's worth the price bump, especially since in terms of pure acceleration it seems to have lost a bit compared to the Edge Sport. (Perhaps a result of tire choice?) Based on its merits as a suburban hauler with mild off-road capabilities it's a mixed bag. About the same size as the Kia Sorento the Edge doesn't offer third row seating. The tow rating has been upped from a paltry 2000 lbs to 3500 but that still trails the Sorento's 5000 lbs. The interior is attractive but hardly cutting edge (and definitely not eye catching. What's with the toy tach on the left side of the instrument cluser?) I do like the 2.7 V6 twin scroll turbo so if one is looking for a peppy, relatively affordable crossover, it's worth checking out. But ultimately I had to agree with my wife that the V6 Sorento was a better choice. I don't think the updated version of the Sport would lead to a different conclusion.

[@anthonytomaro8278]

Its a tremendous amount more of power. Don't confuse peek numbers between a 3.7 and 2.7 ecoboost. I'm sure this vehicle is very restricted at launch to preserve the AWD system. I would love to see a 30-70 comparison between the two generations.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@Anthony Tomaro I think you're confused. The 2019 Edge ST does not have a 3.7L V6. It has the same 2.7L V6 as the previous year's Edge Sport. It's the same engine as the base engine in the Ford 150 and the (soon to be extinct) Ford Fusion Sport. You may be thinking of the Ford's 3.7L NA V6 that was available in the Lincoln MKZ or the 3.5L V6 that's available in the Lincoln Navigator. As I said, I seriously considered the 2018 Edge Sport. It was a budget bargain for a (modest) performance crossover. But there's a reason it was $20K+ less than the Durango SRT or the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. With the 2019 Edge ST that price gap narrows somewhat but it doesn't appear that the performance follows suit.

[@stephenhendricks103]

The Ford Edge is 188.1 inches in length. The Kia Sorento is 189 inches. In fact, the Sorento and Edge are the two smallest mid-size crossovers. Each is about 11 inches shorter than the Mazda CX9, for example. Virtually no one (who knows what they're talking about) would classify a Sorento as "full sized." No more than the Honda Pilot, the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Murano, Grand Cherokee, etc, all of which are larger than the Sorento. Full-size SUV's include vehicles such as the Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, the Ford Expedition, and the Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the Edge has significantly more torque. It has a definite edge in acceleration, about 1 second 0-60, for example. (6 seconds versus 7 seconds) Doesn't change the fact that it tows 1500 lbs less than the Sorento.

[@rotart12arx3]

The Kia has 252 lb-ft of torque which doesn’t arrive until 5200 rpm, the Edge 2.0L has 275 Foot Pounds. You will not tow 5000 pounds uphill on the highway at keep up with traffic. The Sorento also top out at 48K. The Edge ST is much better handling and if you don't all that power the SEL is just find with the 2.0L. Currently in New England you can get about $5000.00 rebates right now on the 2018.

[@rotart12arx3]

If you know anything about towing torque is what moves the load. At 252 lb-ft which doesn’t arrive until 5200 rpm your engine will be screaming to tow a 5000 pounds. Visit some campgrounds and you will not find any Sorento's towing travel trailers 21 to 25 feet which weigh about 5K. You won't find Edges there, or Explorers either. They are not made for it and don't have the brakes, suspension, tongue weight to comfortably. Plus the trailer outweighs the tow vehicles.

To me, it’s not really so much about the power as what else is available in this price range that’ll get you more credibility than an Edge. For $55k, you could also get a modestly optioned Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport or BMW X3 with the M-Sport package. And both are just as quick or quicker (and “COOLER”) than the Edge ST...
