New Ford Edge 2024 Engine, Changes, Specs – Like the Ford Explorer, the 2024 Ford Edge offers an excellent all-around package that is difficult to surpass despite its lack of exceptional performance in any category. The Ford Edge is propelled by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower.
Last year, Ford’s Sync 4A infotainment system was fitted to the Edge. The 2024 Ford Edge has received several additional packages and choices and a few new hues. This SUV boasts a comfortable ride, ample space for luggage, and sufficient passenger space for long road trips. You can not expect much more from a vehicle in this class and price range.
Redesign
All Edge models will come standard with all-wheel drive (AWD) this year. This year, the Black Appearance option, consisting of black exterior styling components and 19-inch black alloy wheels, is also available on the SE trim. The SEL Adventure option includes:
Black and gray exterior accents.
18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires.
A leatherette interior.
The dealer installs some accessories on the 2024 Edge, including a safe built into the center console.
In addition, the color palette has been updated, with specific colors eliminated and others added. The SE and the ST-Line have silver-painted wheels, whereas the sportier models get 20-inch Premium Gloss Black alloy wheels. In addition, bi-LED headlights with automated on/off functionality and color-coded door handles are standard exterior elements. Additionally, the liftgate windows are tinted with privacy glass. All ST-Line vehicles, excluding the SE, include a panoramic vista roof.
Interior
Again, the function has priority over form. The Ford Edge’s interior isn’t horrible, but compared to the Mazda CX-5’s clean design, it may appear dated. The lack of buttons on the center console produces a minimalistic aesthetic that is pleasing to the eye, but one cannot help but feel that quality and materials have been compromised. We believe Ford could have done a better job if it had considered how well the vehicle operated throughout the first few months of ownership.
The seats are at least supportive, and the standard equipment list is extensive. Unlike other vehicles in its class, the Ford Edge claims to provide space for five passengers, but only two can fit comfortably in the backseat. Even if you are driving with three people, you can easily fit three teenagers or children in the backseat. Six-foot-tall passengers will appreciate the class-leading front and rear headroom.
Engine
The Ford Edge has only one engine and transmission option. In contrast to its competitors, Ford’s 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Some of Ford’s competitors still use naturally aspirated V6 engines. The Ford’s torque output surpasses both the Honda Passport’s 280 horsepower and the Nissan Murano’s 260 horsepower. What makes a difference is the position of the electrical source.
Unlike its two Japanese competitors, the Ford does not need to be revved to achieve its maximum power and torque. As long as you’re traveling at highway speeds, you’ll have plenty of power to keep up with slower city traffic. Even though the engine has a wide range of power, the eight-speed automatic transmission is smooth, but it sometimes has trouble finding the best gear ratios.
Release Date and Price
The affordable price of the Ford Edge is one of its most significant selling benefits. Including tax, registration, and a $1,245 destination charge, the SE AWD’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price is only $34,905. The pricing of the SEL is $37,345. $41,095 and $41,095 for the Ford Edge ST-Line and Platinum versions, respectively.
