2021 Ford Edge

For 2021, the Edge is available in five trim levels: the SE, SEL, ST-Line, Titanium, and ST. All trim levels have a few things in common, such as automatic LED headlights, LED taillights and daytime running lamps, a body-color rear spoiler, and privacy glass. If you upgrade to the second-level SEL or above, a Panoramic Vista Roof is available. A roof rack is also available on the top four trims, along with LED fog lamps. Each trim has its own combination of door handle, side rail, grille, and beltline colors. Finally, on the Titanium and ST, you can have the convenience of a foot-activated rear liftgate.

The 2021 Edge lineup includes two different engines. On four out of the five trims, the standard engine is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which is a turbocharged, fuel-efficient option compared to standard engines. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The top-level ST gets a more powerful 2.7-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration on all but the top-tier ST. Intelligent four-wheel drive, which automatically senses road conditions and adjusts the amount of power directed to each wheel, is standard on the ST and an available option for the rest. All trims of this year's Edge include features that make it both safe and fun to drive, including AdvanceTrac with roll stability and curve control, traction control, torque vectoring control, and hill start assist. A Class II trailer tow package is available, allowing the Edge to pull up to 1,500 pounds.

Ford's infotainment system, SYNC 4, is a standard feature on all trims of the 2021 Edge. It works with a voice-activated touch screen and also includes navigation, FordPass Connect with a 4G Wi-Fi hot spot, and Sirius XM. The top two trims have an upgraded Bang and Olufsen sound system.

The Edge has seating for five, and the front bucket seats are reclining. Power-adjustable front seats are included on the second-level trim and up. Heated front seats are standard on the top four trims, and on the Titanium and ST, you can opt to have them cooled, too. Having heated rear seats is an unusual feature, but they are an available option on the top two trims.

This year's Edge has airbags to protect everyone, including side-impact airbags and a second-row Safety Canopy side-curtain airbag with a rollover sensor. Ford Co-Pilot 360 is a standard feature on every trim. This is a suite of advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, a rear-view camera, and much more.
