    Detroit 2018: 2019 Ford Edge ST Gets Sharper

      New look and added boost


    Yesterday, we told you about a teaser dropped by Ford for a new ST model. We had a number of guesses ranging from the Focus to the Explorer. Earlier this morning, Ford has revealed the mysterious ST model is the 2019 Edge ST. 

    Taking the place of the Edge Sport, the ST retains the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 but gets a slight power boost - 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque vs. 315 hp and 350 pound-feet found in the Sport. This will come hooked up to a new eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. Ford isn't revealing performance specs, but we're assuming it will slightly quicker to 60 mph than the Sport - hitting 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. The Edge ST also comes with a retuned suspension, tweaked stability control system, and optional performance braking package.

    The Edge ST's exterior is more aggressive with a mesh grille, 21-inch wheels, new side skirts, and dual exhaust tips. Moving inside, Ford has installed new seats with increased bolstering and a steering wheel with ST badging.

    “Edge ST puts a new animal on the road – a performance SUV with a track mentality. From a performance standpoint, and with its SUV silhouette and versatility, it sets a new standard Edge fans will love to drive,”  said Hau Thai-Tang, executive vice president of Product Development and Purchasing in a statement.

    The rest of the Edge lineup sees a number of changes for 2019. Outside, the Edge gets a wider grille, LED headlights, reshaped hood, and slightly tweaked rear tailgate. The interior features a new center console design with a rotary gear selector. Under the hood, the 2.0L EcoBoost gets a 5 horsepower bump to 250. This is paired with an eight-speed automatic and a stop-start system. Ford has also made a number of active safety features standard such as blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, pre-collision assist, and automatic high beams.

    No word on pricing, but the 2019 Edge will arrive at dealers this summer.

    REVVING UP: FORD DRIVES ALL-NEW EDGE ST INTO SHOWROOMS, ACCELERATING ITS SUV SALES MOMENTUM

    • Following Ford’s best-ever U.S. SUV sales in 2017, Ford further steps up the game by introducing first performance-enhanced ST to its SUV lineup with the all-new Edge ST
    • Edge ST features superior handling and braking, ST-tuned sport suspension, Sport Mode, new quick-shifting 8-speed transmission, standard all-wheel-drive, and the most powerful V6 engine in its class
    • New Edge SUV lineup is Ford’s smartest ever, offering more standard driver-assist technology than any other midsize SUV and introducing to the segment new available technologies such as Post-Collision Braking, Evasive Steering Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering

    DETROIT, Jan. 11, 2018 – Ford begins introducing the coveted ST brand to its SUV lineup with the unveiling of the all-new Edge ST today, building on its best-ever SUV sales year in the U.S.

    The all-new Edge ST – Ford’s first SUV to be tuned by the Ford Performance team – features the most powerful V6 engine available in its class with a specially tuned 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost® engine pumping out 335 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque.

    It’s also outfitted for dynamic handling with a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission, standard all-wheel drive with selectable traction control, an available performance brake package, and ST-tuned sport suspension.

    “Edge ST puts a new animal on the road – a performance SUV with a track mentality,” said Hau Thai-Tang, executive vice president of Product Development and Purchasing. “From a performance standpoint, and with its SUV silhouette and versatility, it sets a new standard Edge fans will love to drive.”

    A new Sport Mode allows Edge ST drivers to experience more aggressive throttle response and shifting patterns that hold gears near redline through cornering maneuvers, sharper engine braking, and a more resonant exhaust tone. Drivers can also manually shift using the steering wheel-mounted SelectShift® paddle shifters while firmly positioned in unique Edge ST seating with additional bolstering.

    To complement its performance abilities, Edge ST features new front and rear styling, a wide mesh grille for optimal cooling, deep side skirts and dual-exhaust outlets. Unique 21-inch wheels are available and interior design cues on the steering wheel, seat backs and scuff plates provide a subtle reminder that this five-passenger SUV is something special.

    Smart Vehicle for a Smart World

    The new Edge – including all-new Edge ST – is Ford’s smartest SUV ever, and every model comes standard with more driver-assist technology than any other midsize SUV. This includes Forward Collision Warning and Dynamic Brake Support; Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection; BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert; Lane-Keeping Alert; Lane-Keeping Assist; Auto High Beams; and Hill-Start Assist. In addition, standard safety features include AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ and Curve Control, and 911 Assist®.

    For 2019, Edge introduces the following first-for-Ford and first-in-segment features as either standard or available equipment:

    • Post-Collision Braking: Helps reduce the impact of a potential secondary collision by automatically applying moderate brake pressure when an initial collision event is detected; slowing the vehicle can potentially lessen injury to occupants and damage to the vehicle
    • Evasive Steering Assist: Helps drivers steer around stopped or slower vehicles to help avoid collisions. Designed to operate at city and highway speeds, it uses radar and a camera to detect slower-moving and stationary vehicles ahead and provides steering support to enable drivers to maneuver around a vehicle if a collision is imminent
    • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering: Helps the vehicle maintain a comfortable driving distance from vehicles ahead and helps reduce stress during long, light-traffic road trips by helping keep the vehicle centered in its lane

    “Edge drivers expect a sophisticated, modern driving experience,” said Cristina Aquino, Edge marketing manager. “Bringing a host of new technologies as standard and introducing these segment-first features helps ensure customers feel more confident behind the wheel.”

    Dual-stage airbags, side-curtain airbags, rain-sensing wipers, rear view camera and an innovative active glove box knee airbag are also standard, while front and rear ultrasonic sensors, 180-degree front and rear cameras and Enhanced Active Park Assist are offered as available equipment.

    Technology for a Connected World

    Inside, drivers will find an available wireless charging pad nestled in the forward media bin, and they can opt for an upgraded audio experience, HD Radio™ and a 12-speaker B&O PLAY™ Premium Audio System by HARMAN specially tuned for Edge.

    Standard on all Edge models is FordPass® Connect, with a Wi-Fi hotspot that gives internet access to up to 10 devices. Using the FordPass™ app, drivers can also use their smartphone to start, lock, unlock and locate their Edge.

    SYNC® with AppLink™, an enhanced voice-recognition communications and entertainment system, is also standard. This system supports the new Ford+Alexa app, giving users access to their favorite media content, daily appointments, smart home controls, and the ability to search for nearby points of interest and even shop for everyday items, all from the road. Drivers can also upgrade to SYNC 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen for enhanced in-vehicle experience.

    A powerfully sophisticated ride

    The new Edge comes standard with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that offers a 5 horsepower increase and improved fuel economy over the outgoing model.

    It is mated to a newly designed 8-speed transmission with Auto Start-Stop technology that efficiently turns the engine off when the vehicle is stopped and idling, then seamlessly restarts in milliseconds when the brake is released.

    Inside, a redesigned center console is accentuated by an all-new rotary gearshift dial that frees up space, allows easier access to the wireless charging pad and enhances the vehicle’s modern, sophisticated feel.

    With a wider grille and freshened fascia that create an athletic, modern appearance, the new Edge maintains the reputation for sophistication it’s carried for more than a decade. Full LED headlamps are standard, LED fog lamps and signature lighting are available and a redesigned hood imparts a wider, more planted stance.

    Built at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, the new Ford Edge and all-new Edge ST are due to arrive in showrooms this summer.

    Nice looking CUV, they have improved this allot with plenty I do like about the auto. Dash is the failure here for me, the minimalist, hard plastic just comes off CHEAP on an auto that we know is going to cost some serious dollars as it is the ST top of the line version.

    This is where Ford fails for me is they put some cool tech, build a nice looking auto and then go cheap on the inside where you spend the bulk of your time.

    Seats look nice, rest of the interior based on these pictures is ok, but the dash is the failure here IMHO.

    So buy the Lincoln then. That solves your problem. lol

    Why is there an 8spd being used in Fords? Isn't this the second vehicle that has an 8spd since the 9spd has been plugged into some Chevys, which they co-developed?

    There might be a packaging issue with the 9-speed that we're not aware of.  It looks like only the CD4 vehicles are getting the 8-speed, so I'm betting it has something to do with an incompatibility there.   Just speculation.

    That 2016 Chinese Taurus is basically the Ford version of the Continental, isn't it? I just looked at a picture of it and it's a pretty good looking car.  Nothing special, just clean looking.

    The Nautilus center stack is better than the Edge's if for one reason.... they don't mix up buttons.   I find the layout of the buttons in the Edge and Explorer to be infuriating.  Why would you mix HVAC and audio controls like that?? The A/C button is just below the CD eject.... the HVAC power off button is right next to the tune up button.  The automatic climate control button is the complete opposite side of the controls from the temp and fan buttons. 

    On the nautilus, the radio controls are all together and the HVAC controls are all together.... the way it is supposed to be.

    That Edge center stack is...bad. If they just made those buttons larger I think it would look better. There's so much empty space and it isn't utilized very well. 

    The Lincoln one looks much better, imo. It isn't great but it looks like they at least tried. For, 60-70k I think looks "meh" at best. But if you don't click all of the options it starts at $39,035, add a few small things to bring it up to 45k and it is still a respectable interior at that price. 

    I don't really think it looks any worse or better than what's probably its closest rival, the MDX.

    Kinda sorta... yes it is on the same stretched platform as the Continental, but I think the similarity ends there.  That said, I think it is a handsome conservative looking sedan. 

    I actually thought some of the lines were similar, that's what actually caught my eye.

    That sounds like a really stupid design. I can't imagine they thought that was "correct".

    @ccap41 I get your point and agree with what your saying except for the Acura, Drew hit the nail on the head with the button abomination comment! :P  In regards to the Acura, Lincoln wins best out of the 3 dash's.

    Ohhh I gotcha. From just those three(I'm not sure if there is another competitor in the low end luxury group and I realize the Edge isn't in that group) I'd favor the Nautilus first, MDX then Edge. The empty space in the Edge just looks off. they didn't utilize it well, or at all.

    New MDX doesn't have many buttons anymore, but almost every function you have to go through the couple menu screens and that is a disaster.  I test drove 2018 recently.  Other than that it is a very nice, I would say even fun driving crossover.

    Some of those buttons are screen based which is almost worse.

    Ahhhh I should have known the XT5. I did think the Grand Cherokee but I figured that was more along the lines of the Edge. Isn't the Enclave much larger and 3 row? They're priced similarly though.

    I only was including the Grand Cherokee Summit since it has some substantial interior upgrades over a standard issue GC.  Also, with a base price for the Summit 4x4 of $50k ranging all the way up to $65k, it can certainly rank with this class. 

    I mentioned the QX60 and Enclave as "if you squint" only because they are 3-row crossovers, but they overlap the Acura and Lincoln.  Base price Enclave - $39,995, Base Price MKX - $39,035, Base Price MDX - $44,200, Base Price QX60 - $43,300, Base Price XT5 - $40,595.

    Now, another reason I include the Enclave.  Buick plays games with its base pricing and they've done this for years. It is virtually impossible to find a base Enclave.  The lowest trim you will find is a FWD Essence with a base price of $47k. I searched 5 zipcode around the country and found a single 2018 Enclave 1SV (base trim) in South Florida.  DC, NJ, Pittsburgh, NYC had none.   My guess is that the 1SV is primarily a fleet only model that Buick will sell you if you order one. 

    They've done this before with the Regal and Lacrosse.  SMK used to go on rants about the 4-cylinder Lacrosse and its $30k base price... and he might have had a point except for the fact that nearly zero were built for general consumption unless you ordered it that way. Nearly all the Lacrosses were V6 models with higher trims.  The same goes for the eAssist Regal... they exist, but are so rare as to not matter.

    There is a ton of gray plastic on that center console, which just screams cheap.  My question is how with a 335 hp/380 lb-ft V6 does the Edge have the same 0-60 time as a 241 hp Mercedes GLC?  The Edge must have huge drivetrain losses in power.  

    What I don't like about the look of this Edge, is the grille looks like the front end of a Taurus police car, and the back half looks the same as it has since 2008.

    yes, it needs help.  a larger touchscreen on top and i think a secondary screen to fill some of the stuff below.  that's mailing it in!  the shifter and cupholder area is pretty nice though.

    standard edge's only 4 cylinder for 2019...interesting to see how that pans out.  And its the 2.0 only, the 2.3 should be offered.....

    I think the 2.0T has been standard since 2015. They don't really need anything between 250hp , 280hp and 315hp. Unless you're thinking of replacing the 3.5L engine with the 2.3L?

    The 2.0T is plenty smooth enough, but it is a strong bit of evidence for my assertion that low displacement high boost 4-cylinders are not suitable replacements for V6es.  In spite of what the output numbers say, this engine feels lethargic in such a heavy crossover.

    Yeah between that and not everybody being sold on small  turbo engines I think it's nice to keep a n/a v6 in the mix. The 4 bangers just don't get the real world fuel economy that they're "supposed to" get.

    I have actually been waiting for a more minimalist interior on modern vehicles. I do not like how "busy" interiors have become.

    I agree that there should be less hard plastic surfaces that appear to be more prevalent, but I can live with that here. 

    I would even be in favor of even more removal of "clutter".

    I drove the 2.0 edge and I think it's decent and can function as a base engine. To me though, a 2.3 upgrade choice would still be a best practice. And, I also agree on the v6 being available. I think ford is phasing out their NA v6's actually! And the 3.5 is ancient and in 2019 is basically a boat anchor that is a 15 or more year old design. They got rid of it in the mustang too.  So they basically have  no replacement    To be honest then the 2.7t v6 should become an option on Upper scale normal edges  

    We love our new van and one of the reasons is the v6. The smoothness and immediacy of a v6 compared to a 4. If I project here and just loosely compare our recent van acquisition vs considering 4 cyl crossovers like the edge. The v6 turned out to be an advantage. 

    I will be interested to see how the traverse 2.0 does in the market.

    The Edge's upgrade to an 8-speed may help, ditto for the 9-speed in the Traverse.... but I think that drivers will still have to keep their foot in the boost to keep these beasts moving.  The Acadia V6 with a 6-speed moves really well... shame it is otherwise duller than dishwater to drive.

    I think gm badly needs to work a twin turbo v6 option into its crossovers like Acadia, traverse, XT5 etc 

    That's the least of their worries on those cars. The problem is that they have all the numbers to stack up to the competition, for the meat of the market, but they are the automotive equivalent of novicaine. Shopping in this segment they would be dead last with the Pathfinder and Outlander.

    CX9 better handling

    Pilot better space

    Highlander hybrid options and better interior build.

    Grand Cherokee more off-road capable, better handling, hemi option, high tow rating, better interior

    Durango ditto GC

    Explorer/Edge better interior, more solid feeling, just looks more premium and dare I say it Explorer has an "authority" to it.

    Atlas better looking than Acadia

    Ascend haven't driven it yet, but it checks all the right boxes and has a knock out interior.

    I actually thought the new Traverse drove well and had good power and handling.  It's larger and not as nimble but overall its the best blend.  Where GM screwed the pooch was downsizing the Acadia.

    I've driven a few of your list, my feelings

    CX-9 - was pretty nice but did not wow me and the 4 cylinder was a weak spot.  Nice interior but cramped in cargo and third row.

    Pilot - some friends have one and I rode in it.  From a passenger perspective I was not wowed.

    Highlander - Toyota sheep love the weirdness of Toyotas.  I have a good buddy, they have a highlander and its their second one, and they love it.  but it was their upgrade from a CRv so you can imagine anything would be amazing after a CRv.

    Grand Cherokee is nice, but there is no Jeep 3 row yet.

    Durango - i've not driven but from what i have read, its sort of a polarized split.  Some love, and some think its not up to snuff.  I like the interior mostly but it still feels more truckish than carlike.  Not sure how efficient space wise it is.

    Explorer - I'm completely tired of it.  Second row leg space is cramped.  Not bad otherwise but it badly needs an update and longer wheelbase.  I love the flip fold third row like was on my Taurus X.

    Edge - only 2 rows but is very comfy. I like that someone makes a 2 row that does try to put in a compromised third row.  Just needs a decent center stack!

    Atlas - drove nice, in the right colors is nice inside but otherwise can be perceived as cheap inside.  Decent space.  Looks good mostly but not luxury.  V6 is quiet and fairly smooth but is deficient in lunge.

    Ascent- will probably be popular, but i think it lacks a 6?  And will have typical subaru indifference / UJS interior inside.  A puffy Forester.

    3 row crossovers are what the family sedan used to be.  We're glad we got the Pacifica instead of the 3 row crossover.  Car and Driver new article on the Pacifica pointed as bette than other 3 row crossovers.  I agree.  Just that it lacks AWD and the SUV aura.

    • You can see some Camaro in those headlights DNA. Would be a Nice Impala replacement or Malibu replacement as a 4-door sedan with haunches. 
    • I just  recently saw this ... me and my smooth riding I.C.E. sedans ... and coupes, too. What's baking in the oven here is mostly looking good.  Mostly. Captivating enough front end ... nicer than that of Camry. A little too heavy handed on the grille, at least for the base model. Attractive enough side windows in the greenhouse with nice lower sculpting and beltline/flank rounding at the rear passenger doors, and quality looking door handles. The exhaust area is handled nicely and the rear lights are sort of thin, jellybean-like, and anticlimactic.  Also, it does NOT want to be a '60s Plymouth Barracuda, a '70s Mustang Mach I from a James Bond movie, nor today's Buick Envista.  Big demerits for what could turn out to be a 2 volume vehicle. Clean it up some ... then "just do it."
    • WOW, If this is what BYD is delivering, then Tesla/Musk needs to be scared, such a superior EV to Tesla 3. BYD Seal Test Drive, Review: Elon Musk's Lucky It's Not on Sale in US (businessinsider.com) This just proves that Apple has the WRONG leadership and is going down. A CEO can be one of three things: Hatchet CEO that cuts up a company and sells off the parts for a golden parachute Stagnant CEO- Current Apple, can run the business to keep making money but has no ability to see the future and lead it to new levels. Visionary CEO - One who can make money and steer the company to new worlds of product / money making. Apple is failing and clearly people should be aware that some Chinese companies are pushing the future of tech in all things including EVs.

    • I have to say that I am very excited by this potential competitor to the Cadillac EscaladeIQ. Both Full size Luxury SUVs. Interiors Yes I know the Genesis is a concept and the suicide doors and flip chairs will not make it to production, but I do hope those chair designs do as they look very comfy and supportive. I have to say that I really like the exterior styling of the Genesis even more than the Escalade.
    • Yeah, it doesn't seem super space efficient.
