2023 Ford Edge Review

Midsize SUVs cover a wide range of vehicles, from large three-rows to spacious two-rows. For those who want a bit more space than a small SUV offers and won't need a third row, the 2023 Ford Edge could be a good choice. It's roomy, comfortable and well equipped with features. All-wheel drive and a big 12-inch touchscreen come standard on all models, for example. Ford also offers an ST performance version that packs a 335-horsepower turbocharged V6.

The Edge does have a few downsides. Its fastback-like styling cuts into backseat headroom and chunky roof pillars hamper visibility. It also goes up against a strong group of contenders, most of which benefit from fresher designs. Check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee or Subaru Outback if you want something with more off-road capability than the Ford, or the Honda Passport or Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport for a roomier interior. Changes for 2023 are minimal, just a shuffling of a few trim features, but nothing to give the Edge any sort of new edge (ha!) over the competition. Check out the Expert Rating below for our test team's full evaluation of the Edge's performance, utility and more.

The 2023 Ford Edge is available in five trim levels: SE, SEL, ST-Line, Titanium and the performance-focused ST. All Edge trims save for the ST use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (250 horsepower, 280 lb-ft) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The ST gets a more powerful 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 engine (335 hp, 380 lb-ft) paired with a seven-speed automatic. Both engines feed power to the wheels through an all-wheel-drive system that's standard on all models.
