4 Reasons to Own a 2019 Edge

2019 Ford Edge at Tindol Ford in Gastonia, NC
The Ford Edge is a two-row, midsize crossover, bigger than the EcoSport and Escape but smaller than the Explorer or the Expedition. As such, the Edge offers a nice compromise between the size and capacity of the Explorer and the efficiency and maneuverability of the Escape. Of course, the 2019 also gives you plenty of reasons why you should buy one even if you don't compare it to Ford's other SUVs.
  1. Two Strong Engine Options

The three regular trims come with a 2.0-liter I-4 engine. Normally that's small for a midsize crossover, but thanks to the EcoBoost turbo design the engine pumps out 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. It can also give you an EPA-estimated 29 mpg on the highway. Then there's the engine on the special ST trim, a 2.7-liter V-6. This engine also comes with an EcoBoost turbocharger, and thanks to that you get up to 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque.
  1. The ST

The 2019 Edge ST is the first official SUV trim to come from the Ford Performance Team, and they did more than just drop in a bigger engine. The ST comes with a set of paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, giving you full control over the shifting with a quick move of your hand. You also get a Sport Mode button, and when you press it the Edge will start shifting aggressively, rev matching during shifts, and adjusting its performance based on your driving style. Sport Mode also boosts the engine sound in the cabin.
  1. Ford Co-Pilot360

Ford Co-Pilot360 is a suite of driver assistance features that come standard on every 2019 Ford Edge. It includes automatic high beams that shut off when it senses an approaching car ahead, the Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, and a rearview camera complete with a camera lens washer. You also get the Lane Keeping System that can automatically keep you in the middle of your lane, the Driver Alert that warns you when you start drifting off, and the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.
  1. Ford SYNC

The on-board infotainment system is SYNC, a user-friendly interface that controls the 2019 Edge's audio and climate control systems. On the SEL and above trims, you get an upgrade to SYNC 3, a newer version that adds things like advanced voice recognition, compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, HD Radio, an extra USB port, and an available upgrade with nine premium speakers and a navigation system. With either version you'll get an available Wi-Fi hotspot and a complimentary subscription to SiriusXM Radio. There are more reasons to own a 2019 Ford Edge where these four came from. You can explore more features by checking out Ford's website, or you can see what it's like for yourself by checking in with your local Ford dealership and scheduling a test drive of the newest model. One way or the other, you'll soon discover what makes the 2019 Edge an award-winning SUV.   Image via ford.com
