TFL, can you tell us if you liked the vehicle? I found it a very generic review. Does it handle well, does it seem powerful? Is it quiet?
I wish they had a more serious tach. Am not crazy about the face update. Makes it look like a blown up Focus. The older face looks sportier.
You must be forgetting the the flex ecoboost 3.5 l 365 tq 365hp
But, for a daily driver, Ford Edges are solid cars. I had a 2014 Sport model, and am considering the ST. At pre-owned prices, this is an excellent choice.
Omg they are SUCH solid cars. I’d never ditch that older Edge with those big 22s for a new ST, it’s too bold and a true classic well built “old” Ford…I think the new ST ones are hideous compared to the last two previous generations of Edge Sports prior to the new 2019 “ST” sport model. ST should of been left with the focus only as that was an exclusive trim name for that car for many years and only by itself alone, now the Explorer comes in a ST model and the Edge now, shocked they didn’t throw the fusion sport off into that too.
Great working with you this week, Roman. See you next time!
It was a hoot. Thanks for being such a thoughtful drive partner!
Where is you're edge video?
Big fan of both channels
I heard Ford edge are very smooth annd easy to handle is it good for a new driver @@TFLcar
55k for an ST badged Edge Sport? 6 seconds to 60? Same cheap interior as years prior with plastic buttons? At this price I’m a hard PASS.
Buy a Volvo XC60 Rdesign Polestar. 330 horsepower. Volvo way better looking and is world car of year.
Devin Bender T6 is 316 horsepower but get Tune my Volvo Performance Team POLESTAR then Volvo horsepower is 330 ( that what I have). Just like Edge sport 315 horsepower then tune by Ford performance team ST then 335 horespower. Ford has performance blue and Volvo has performance blue they call it Bursting Blue Metallic. Volvo amazing seats ,luxury inside.
Didnt he say around 5.9 sec in the video, Edge Sport was already a porker at 4400 pounds, sounds like the new ST gained even more weight with all the new tech and features
David Cox there is a SUV call X3 M40i :)
Especially since you can get a LINCOLN MKX with the same engine, awd and all of the features for the same price.....
I wish they would make a Ford edge rs with a 450hp raptor drivetrain and AWD. That'd be a hell of a factory sleeper.
Its coming junior. Its coming!!!
Yeah, then it would be $80,000 and appeal to one buyer
Ford ranger raptor testing in Australia looks sick
WhiteNuckle ChargerR/T
Exactly
The fact they have an ST version of this makes me happy.Shows how open minded and customer oriented car companies are becoming and deff not boring.I like it.
I need to test drive one of these. I've had my eye on it since they first unveiled it. Could do without the sunroof, though.
Without a sunroof ? Wtf is wrong with you that’s the best part .
If you want one vehicle for all your needs all year round that will handle almost any road condition but you also want to have fun driving it then these sporty suvs are perfect. Don't know why everyone is bitching about it, not all of us have the money or space for multiple vehicles that serve multiple purposes. This is a jack of all trades, master of none but still pretty damn good at all of them. They're also incredibly safe and they have more versatility than 95% of the population will need from any type of vehicle 95% of the time. I think it's a pretty damn good rig....
Just bought a 2020 st. Loving it. Its a blast for a practical everyday driver.
I have the same engine in my 2017 Fusion Sport....it's fun to drive.
Dear Ford, please fire the team that has been designing vehicle interiors for the past few years. The center stack and instrument cluster are horrendous. Who thought it was a good idea to have an expensive edge ST, police interceptor, and an entry level Ford Taurus all share the exact same interior?
They're probably waiting for 2020 model line.
Their interiors are great you just like to think theyre bad. Normal people know that theyre very good compared to competition.
@@coolkid7151 yeah people LOVE to hate on the car brands that have stood the test of time, such as Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc. and LOVE to praise up and coming companies like Kia and Hyundai, but from the amount of research I've done on those vehicles, they still have a lot of catching up to do for me to even consider buying those brands. Lots of cheap parts and terrible customer service spells disaster for owning one
Agree. They used whatever they had in the spare parts bin
@@coolkid7151 the nav screen and gauge cluster aren't. The rest of the interior is tho
As a owner of a Fiesta ST I thought of this as a joke, but this video completely changed my mind, I can see myself getting this if I ever had kids, perfect balance between fun, and practical
We have a 2016 Sport, absolutely love it and would never consider an ST. We think it’s hideous compared to the last two generations of Edge Sports and I think nobody ever talked about the Edge sports or noticed them much until the ST came along. Older ones seemed visually bolder in my opinion, especially the 2014 with huge 22in rims, you’ll never see that again after that year. ST was exclusive for the little Focuses n Fiestas and should of stayed at that, that was unique to them specifically but at least the new one still has a V6, thank god.
just got a 2019 sel awd. i was so surprised how much i love driving it. so happy
I like the fact Ford kept hood struts under the hood while other manufactures are putting in the old prop rod Kudos Ford👍😎
PLATINUM yeah but the only downside is they could stop working and fall on you
dude Ford was one of the last manufactures to finally start using hood struts
Trenton_ A which bloody hurt, I like the Volvo style which uses gas struts but has a ratchet system that holds it up
4wd some that's smart
Focus ST will be missed. Wish I could afford one
true, I love walking them in my old Audi but they are way cooler than this POS.
We’re just one gas crisis away from demanding hatchbacks in the market again
Michael Woodsdale......That's one of the reason I have a Bolt.
M_ White008 I like them cuz they don’t stick out too much, while at the same time, look sporty not douchey (like all Subaru wrx drivers)
Ty _ My brother had a 2013 ST. Had a bigger intercooler, Cobb tune and some other things here and there. Thing was a beast. When you can afford one, buy it because they’re crazy cheap for what you get. Better yet, get an RS - I can’t imagine how much torque you can get with AWD and that motor
Lane keep assist is a must-have for my next car. I drive back and forth from Denver to Kansas City quite often, and fighting the wind to keep a car in the proper lane for hours on that desolate stretch of I-70 is exhausting.
saw all these in SLC on monday, color looks great in person
Ford's dashborad and guage design is so cool.....way back in 90's
The whole car would have looked cool in the 90s. Who buys a ford?? They suck
I buy Fords.
Love Ford😘😘
Number 1 selling brand in the United States for years.
And probably one of the most American brands!
Great video as always! They should do a RS version with the raptor's engine it will be perfect!
Own a new 2017Edge Sport. It's a fantastic vehicle that provides strong performance. Now that Ford has the ST copy of the Edge. Looking forward to the test drive to compare performance, suspension and other new technologies. Thanks for the update video.
Love my 2020 ST Edge.
Definitely like it more than the new blazer (Really disappointed what Gm did to that car).
I like the Blazers looks, it just needs a bit more power IMO.
Agreed, I've seen the new Blazer and Jimmy up close and they look like a rebadged Transverse to me. Great for hauling kids to school and grocery shopping but nothing I would take off road. The new Edge ST kinda reminds me of a Rally Cross car like the Focus RS or WRX but with slightly more room.
Considering Ford introduced the Edge ST (and they already had the Sport), I'm interested to see if Chevy follows suit with a Blazer SS, not just an RS appearance package.
I love to get in on that stuff you’re smoking.
My only problem with the new Blazer is that they called it the Blazer. They should have called it the Traverse Sport.
These engineers all say the same buzzwords to perk up people’s ears. This thing has a high center of gravity, 6 seconds to 60 isn’t really that fast and to replace the fiesta and focus st with it is hilarious.
Agreed. Soils the "ST" badge.
This replaces the Edge Sport, not the Focus ST or Fiesta ST. I'd assume there may be an Escape ST and Ecosport ST to handle that.
Being a former FoST owner this is certainly an abomination the the ST name. Clearly this is the new "ST" for mainstream America, in an effort to produce that which ONLY generates profit. Niche vehicles, need not apply for FoMoCo
Why should people that need to haul their kids, pets, and all their gear have to drive boring, ill handling, slow vehicles? Look outside your tiny world and see that there are other people out there with different lifestyles.
My 8 year old NA V6 car with 50 fewer HP is pretty much identical speed. Granted, it is a sedan, not a crossover. Call me crazy, but I would rather spend an extra $5k and get a Jeep SRT8 which has a real beast engine and will blow the doors off this Ford.
Great video can wait to test drive. My friend has fusion sport.
Looks amazing!
Not a SUV man, but I gotta say this little 2.7 Turbo engine is stout, can’t help but smile as it easily powers my F150 4WD STX Crew Cab from light to light, this is the best running quietist engine I’ve ever had in a vehicle! I love this engine in my truck.
We have the older 2.7L in the 2016 edge sport, that is the fastest SUV I’ve ever driven
Damn props to Ford🇺🇸 looks dope!
Great Review Roman. Nice cameo with Chris from AA.
Wife had an 11 Edge Limited and loved it. I dont know if I would buy an ST Edge but I would at least try one out
So they are going from a 2018 Focus ST1 base that starts around 20k, to a 55k SUV ST? Yea that makes a lot of sense. Who is behind this decision making at Ford? And I thought a 40k RS was too much..... Now we have 55k+ Edge ST & 50k Explorer Sports.
I just paid 39k for my 19 edge st. Will be doing some 0-60 pulls once I get it broken in.
Still have it and like it?
Great video again Roman!!! 👍👍👍
Than you
Very welcome my friend, keep up the great work! Oh, and have a great night. 🙂
Great video
"Hey guys, you know that cool car I wanted? Well the wife won't allow me to get it, she said we need a new suv...So I told her it had to be a fast suv...See guys, I still wear the pants?"
"Uhhh...sure you do"
I love all the Euro fanboys saying the Edge ST doesn't live up to the ST name. In the US the only S and T we care about have a V in the middle.
Hell yeah, give me an SVT Bronco!!
R in the middle. ST fans need to stop crying, grow a pair balls, and buy a real car. Unless you're a midget, or in high school I don't see the point.
Great video!
Got my wife a white one.... pretty descent, good gas mileage and lots of additions but tires for 21in rims are kinda spendy wherever you go and also we live in North Dakota so left it out one night and it rained before it snowed, could only go around the block cause water got underneath the sunroof and then froze.... it sounded horrible like it was gonna shatter at any second Once and awhile you have to clean around it. Got a cold air intake for it and this thing sounds very impressive!
When are these companies going to realize that people who actually care about what their car sounds like do not want fake sound pumped into the cabin?
Screen is way too small. The plastic around it looks like they are trying to make up for that fact. Not a bad looking exterior but not at this price point. I have never been a fan of Ford interiors.
9:06 and 11:20 2 different number 1 things. Roman must have taken sensitivity training, there are no losers, you are all #1 here. Great video as always.
My wife and I just saw this vehicle, climbed in it and checked it out at the Phoenix auto show last month. We both said it was one of the nicest vehicles at the show. So before you go on a tirade about how bad it is, you need to see it.
The kind of people who bought the Focus ST did so because of its blend of performance, fun and relative value. This thing is destined to flop because it compromises every one of those points.
They need too offer this engine on the Titanium trim level.
It will be my next vehicle. I like the safety features.
I love how Domestic maker like Ford is always going up & up. Every year they try to improve. Sometimes change is good, in a market with the whole world competing, we NEED to be the best!
Those aged gauges need to go
Ricardo Hernandez agreed. I hate those gauges on the Edge. I also hate when they change the exhaust tips to an up and down position instead of the sideways positions that they were originally. To me the exhaust tips look sportyier on the edge sport
Yep yep, there's a RUclips video from 2008 of Mercury Murano with the same gauges. 10 year old technology in a new 2019 ST badged SUV.
vh9network what the hell is a Mercury Murano?
haha, I meant Mecury Millan,
Why, they work fine.
Ford stops the Focus....shoots itself in the foot...yeah couples want a Edge but single guys & gals WANTED THE FOCUS.(the perfect "first"car)
Hey Roman, I liked the video. Is there an embargo that prevented you from talking about how the car drives and/or feels? If so, when will you be making a video about the driving dynamics?
i have a honda 2005 2.4ltr i notice the car is not aligned it slightly bent to the left looking at the hood while driving and it drives to the left i have changed the front shocks but same problem.
Such a cheap interior. Look at all the hard cheap plastics up at eye level. For 55000 you could get a much nicer car.
Ford is so far behind in interior design. The dash looks like a $15-20000 focus se.
You can get one in the low forties. No one pays full sticker price.
Said the same thing about their "new" mustang years back. It will always feel cheap because you spend all your time looking at it while driving.
It's $43k. Also, moving from Jeep, the Ford is WAY better in terms of quality. WAY better.
it is a nice interior you dumbass
This is the logical conclusion of current car buyer trends and the irrationality of American buyers. Its a Mid Sized CUV with a turbo charged engine geared toward emissions and fuel economy with sporty suspension, no manual option and an appearance package. Its the most cynical piece of machinery I've ever seen since Nissan turned the Pathfinder into a borderline Minivan. This thing is soulless and will be remembered as the vehicle that proved that car manufacturers could actually sell themselves out even harder than they did in the early 2000s. Buyers want something sporty but they don't want a sports sedan or coupe. They want something fuel efficient and cheap to maintain but they won't buy a compact 4 cylinder car. They want cargo space but refuse to buy station wagons or even hatchbacks anymore. And then everyone complains when they end up spending 40 grand on a Crossover cause they wanted everything in one package including an assload of unnecessary safety gizmos that are gonna break in a few years and leather seats they didn't need. If any of you want to support this instead of cars that are actually good, you go right ahead. I'm just gonna save up and stop eating so much overpriced fast food so I can have an actual sports car on the side instead of whatever this confused amalgamation of plastic and cheap iron is supposed to be.
ShoryukenDatAzz - the seats are not fully leather. The main panels are a soft but well gripping suede like cloth. Leather is on the side bolsters and then a higher quality vinyl around the rest of the seat.
It looks like the Edge we rented a couple years ago in Florida while on vacation.
looks good
I wish people stopped with their hardon's for SUV's. :(
Crossover not SUV
Devin Bender cuv is good for some, not for most, many looks. Should have made it a wagon, lower center of gravity, and more fun in the turns. But majority of people don’t know or want to know about most stuff. Just get in and drive. And most people can’t drive anyhow.
Devin Bender wagons and hatches only make sense if you need more than what a sedan can provide. If a 70’s wagon is built right, it will be comfortable, fast, and provide lots of utility. One of my dream cars is the ctsv wagon.
Who cares as long as it can get me to point a and b
@@devinbender8428 you can't really speak for everyone in the us
Low cost benefit on interior...
6 sec 0-60 is pretty quick for a suv of that size plus you can always turn up the boost
Nice Mabye my next ride.
Damn that! For $55large+, I'll go for Durango SRT.
It was 52,500 at this point and the Durango SRT is almost 20k more expensive. It's literally not in the same ballpark.
That interior looks kind of cheap. Those switches for the heated seats are quite cheap. I like when the engineer says they went with "vented" brake rotors, like that is some new tech. This thing has a lot of power and torque but is miles behind other small suv's like the Mazda Cx5 as far as style and interior design, and surely the price puts it in competition with european vehicles.
👍🏻
You can get a Lincoln MKX with all of these options and same engine for the same money.
@@devinbender8428 it's getting renamed, not replaced.
Ohio Pro4x Frontier Yeah, Mazda really making some nice vehicles for reasonable money. Wife just bought Cx9 signature for 41,500, we love it very sporty and fun to drive. Also well appointed and built. They will be making a cx5 with the turbo cx9 engine. That will be sporty and fun to drive. Ford=overpriced-underbuilt (except mustang)
Wait until the Mazda CX-5 2.5T
Waited for reviews all summer long. Durango SRT vs Edge ST... decisions, decisions... What a great time for truck lovers!
If you're looking for a "truck," I think the Durango is a better choice. Haven't driven the Edge ST but I seriously considered the 2018 Edge Sport and liked it. But while the Durango, like the Edge, is a unibody rather than a body-on-frame SUV, it's offers much better "truck-like" features, especially when it comes to towing.
I agree. So I guess it's now down to the Cherokee SRT or Durango SRT. Thanks!
jlucguerrier: If you're considering the Durango, check out Alex Dykes' review (Alex on Autos). He liked it so much he bought one.
Many thanks! I'll check it out!
I have an ST. Thinking of adding spacers. Will that be an issue?
Why not a 10 speed? Why not a 3.5 eco-boost? I think they really would’ve had something if they admit done both of those!
10 speed is unnecessary.
@@VanquishedAgain For me who shattered my left hip which left me partially disabled pushing in the clutch pedal is painful so yes I would go for a 10 speed.
@@hellraiserx9490 The current edge's have an 8 speed currently and that's super smooth.
I dont get it, the performance is average, interior is somewhat dated, and for over 40 grand? No thanks.
It's called marketing. They have to push the crap and average or outdated stuff so manufacturers will give them access to the good stuff.
Almost 60k
Performance is average? Name others in this price range that do this.
BMW X3, Audi Q3, Merc GLC, all in the 40 to 50 grand range but far superior.
logdon17 Dude, really? Do you really think you could get any of those Germans for that money? For Christs sake a BMW 3 series STARTS at $41k now. Think about what you're saying. NO way.
Same engine in the Edge Sport. They just beefed up the horsepower a smidge and added the 2 extra gears.
@@devinbender8428 sorry, I wasn't implying that it doesn't. My comment was directed at the "it's the f150 engine". When it's the edge sport engine with a little love shown to it :P
Gee - put a tune on the outgoing Edge Sport and upgrade the sway bars and charge thousands more! Brilliant! I owned a 2011 and then a 2016 Edge Sport - in every way the 2016 was much better than the previous normally aspirated (3.7l) based Edge. I'm glad to see that Ford is continuing on with these improvements.
I am sooooo glad I got a 2018 Edge Sport...not only is the 2018 better looking, but it has most of the features that Roman says he likes and I got mine Fully Loaded (No Winter Package) for $39,950 before taxes!! I am going to add Bilstein Shocks ($400.00) and a tune..370hp/400tq ($500.00) and it will be almost perfect!!
Lol. Sucker, you purchased a shitbox. Enjoy your Ford. Lol!
Agreed, the Edge Sport looked a lot better
I think you made a good deal. As I said in another comment, I looked at the 2018 Edge Sport fairly seriously and liked it. But since the car is mainly for my wife as her daily driver and the family for trips, the Kia Sorento outpointed it in our assessment. We had an offer from a dealer similar to yours, about $40K fully loaded with everything but the winter package. For 2019 a similarly configured Edge ST has an MSRP over $50K. Real world prices are different from MSRP, of course, but I suspect even a very good deal wouldn't drop the price below $45-$46K. And that will have to wait to see how strong the demand turns out to be.
thank you for your support!!
@@TriptoCo 3 years later and loving it!!!!!!
This is what you ditched the Fiesta ST, Focus ST/RS with? How about no.
Okay, let me know who those dealers are cuz all I see is 7% off a Focus ST. I'd totally snatch up another one as a weekend car if they're 25% off!!!
@@devinbender8428 I miss Virginia. Good driving out in Front Royal.
@@funkymunkies101 shuda bought mine I sold a decked out st3 rebuilt title for 7 grand had custom intercooler exaust kit air filter underglow and all that. It was a great car
When you push the camera button the second time it just gives you a wider view of the from camera :)
yawn happy with my ST focus
Why would someone pay $55k for an Edge when you can get the Lincoln version (MKX) with the same engine, driver's assist package, h&c (higher quality) leather seats and if it's anything like my wife's MKC, the ability to adjust the suspension mode, for practically the same money ($54915)?
@@devinbender8428 not dead, just renamed. And if $5k is all that separates them, $55k for the ford is still a tough pill to swallow
The base price is 43K and there is already low finance or $1000.00 rebate. As the year goes on the rebates will increase and you will be able to get one under 40K.
Devin Bender Last time I wanted a sport ford I payed 10 k over keep for a raptor . Then 10k over for a gt350 , 5 k over for a focus RS .... they inflate the price rather than discount
More common Fords you will get a discount and rebates. It will happen to the Edge ST also once more are on the ground.. GM plays the same games.
The Edge ST STARTS at $43K....very few will be optioned out with ALL options!
Great decision by Ford to cut most of their car lineup just as gas prices are going up again !
Devin Bender except this one is 21 combined.
Devin Bender Yet the focus ST gets better mpg than the base escape and gets 1 mpg hwy over the tiny Eco-sport.
Devin Bender Well considering that their smaller CUVS don’t reach those numbers, the larger ones surely don’t. Also, the Civic gets 36 mpg combined. A ford CUV can’t reach those numbers. Doubtful if any will short of EV or hybrid.
Gas prices going up where?
I love mine!
Did they fix the PTU, that thing always fails on the AWD.
Good review, but Ford's just phoning it in at this point. Old reviews pegged the Edge Sport @ 5.6 sec 0-60. This is a Sport with an ST badge stuck on it. Pass.
So you didn't watch the video... Got it...
Not sure what you're getting at. The video I saw showed that there is very little difference between the "new" Edge ST and the Edge Sport. A mild tune and some swaybars does not make a "performance" car...and it definitely doesn't make a Ford ST.
20% stiffer rear springs. 10% stiffer fronts, brake and cooling package available, mono tube over dual tube shocks/struts, solid sway bars, different front and rear facia to differentiate it from standard Edge's, power increase, 8 speed transmission, completely different AWD system with tq vectoring, software changes for improved driving dynamics. Sure, it's not a completely NEW vehicle, but Ford NEVER claimed it to be completely new. IMO, they took a good vehicle and improved upon it. I don't see the downside here! They said 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. I think they're being cheeky with that number personally.
4gasem definitely cheeky with the number , low 5 seconds at the most to 60 ! May see a 5 flat on perfect conditions . It's a engine that's not a slump by any means . Twin turbo gotta love it
The downside is they called it as ST. The ST has been a driver-focused, manual-transmission sporty car for cheap. This Edge is a slight upgrade to the Edge Sport with a massive price tag. It's not an ST. Had they left it called the Sport, there'd be no complaint from me.
Coming to your local police department soon.
Lol I'll burn them in my ford focus xD!
Cool car !
Unfortunately my lease is up late December. I currently have a 2015 ford edge and really wanted this. According to my dealership this car isn't coming out till middle of the year.
I do not find that car appealing, is good that is ST trim, it has a weird proportion to me.
@@devinbender8428 when did they kill the Journey? The new Jeep Cherokee looks amazing.
@@devinbender8428 they still look good for their age. The Journey is the only one that hasnt had a refresh
@@devinbender8428 where did you hear this? This is interesting to me. My favorite brand is Dodge/Jeep
@@devinbender8428 ok thank you
so disrespectful to put a ST badge on this thing... who will be buying this thing? ford is walking away from the young car enthusiasts. not even a Manual transmission available. I'm happy with my true focus ST.
Lol 😂
Devin Bender i buy manual cars, i understand dads wants to be cool, but why put an ST badge on? Just leave it as Edge Sport and let the Real ST rest in peace.
4 Adults fit into a Focus or Fiesta just fine. I wonder why the rest of the world is just fine driving them as their primary car...
Stop crying. Who drives manual anymore?
True AF. Dont care if people buy autos as long as manuals are an option.
With the previous model the edge sport doing 0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds , this car has 20 horsepower, 30 ft lbs torque more. With a better suspension and 8 speed trans with better gearing then the previous models 6 speed . Low 5 second 0 to 60 times easily and high 13 seconds quarter mile. All you need is a Livernois tune and it will cut those times dramatically, they gained with no other mods besides tune and 93 octane. 100 horsepower and torque with the Previous model Edge Sport!
Devin Bender I agree , the fuel system may not be able to handle it though , E30 mix is what will work though looks like
Devin Bender definitely man , any car on e85 with supercharger or turbo gain huge from the added octane and cooling of the ethanol . Curious to see how the fuel system is
what kind of camera system are you using it does a good job?
So I had a 2011 Edge Sport and it was a nice crossover, but after 8 years, the interior and dash look the same. The dash was fine then, but bland. Ford you need to get with the times and put in a virtual cockpit or improve the look. 0-60 time is slow for the ST...under 6 seconds is not quick these days with this upgraded engine. Exterior looks nice though.
pokerfred68 I couldn't agree more with everything you just said. That interior is soo outdated and it's the only reason I'm passing this up. I love those new digital cockpit displays, too.
Really? What goes faster?
Lane Morrow a good deal of the BMW crossovers. Audi Q5. Alfa Stelvio. And if you get the upgraded models and engines then you bring in many other vehicles. BMW X3 M40 has a similar power plant and does 60 in 4.6. Audi SQ5 5.1. Then there’s the Durango, Grand Cherokee with the hemi. Stelvio is smaller and has a similar price point...5.3 seconds with a 4 banger.
Next, the Edge RS!
Escape or Echosport ST coming soon!
r4mp4g1 can’t even imagine an EcoSport with 300+ hp. As to Edge RS, you’d better want at least 400 horses.
@@ecoRfan But honestly i would think ecosport would be the best vehicle to be on the st lineup since its already based on the fiesta
At 5:57 that view is the 180 degree front camera, not the rear camera. It's for seeing left and right when pulling out in limited visibility situations. Rear camera is only accessible in Reverse.
Can’t wait for the Ford Expedition ST
Bruh it's ain't no six speed manual, it ain't no ST. I drive 2014 focus st.
I'm an amoeba and can count on my fingers how many people care about this comment.
$55.000.- for all that cheap plastic, small screen, and no digital cluster??? Audi Q5 is actually cheaper, when spec’d comparable, matter of fact, comes stock with more than this POS Ford comes with and does 0-60 in less than 6 seconds as well. With a single turbo and a 2.0l engine. Bump it up, and you can actually get a base SQ5 with 3.0l twin turbo which does 0-60 in 5 seconds or less....also, I bet an Audi’s value won’t drop like that of a Ford.
You're on drugs calling this a POS, when you own anything built by VAG. I really wouldn't go down the resale route, and then there is reliability of Volkswagen. Which like it or not is crap. This engine is night and day better than the oil burning Audi anchors. Remove your blinkers fanboy.
Number one you can buy a ST in the low 40's, and stock it will run 5.5 zero to sixty before a tuner. There is nothing in that price range that can do it and still carry a family. Q 5 has much less cargo room, won't fit 3 in the back seat as comfortable as the Edge and Edmunds clocks it at 6.2 from zero to sixty and a ton of reviews with quality problems.
Cost of ownership for an Audi here in the U.S. would also be a factor to consider. It would likely be substantially higher.
Sky Surv Aviation couldn't agree more. That guy's bolted the Volkswagen sunglasses to his head
Sky Surv Aviation Audi is ranked higher as a brand than Ford in overall dependability by JD Power. Audi in the last 5-10 years has quietly gone from being one of the least reliable to most reliable car manufacturers. I personally have two recent model Volkswagens and have had ZERO issues.
I love that edge that is sweet but you really didn't talk about the power could you feel the difference with a 2.7 L EcoBoost?
That’s my next car.
Took a serious look at the 2018 Ford Edge Sport earlier this year. I liked it. My wife (who is the daily driver of the vehicle) not so much. For 2019 Ford has added a little power, an eight speed transmission (versus the previous six speed), and some bells and whistles that Ford claims merits the ST badge. All of that comes with a significant price increase. I'll withhold judgment since I haven't driven it but I'm skeptical that it's worth the price bump, especially since in terms of pure acceleration it seems to have lost a bit compared to the Edge Sport. (Perhaps a result of tire choice?)
Based on its merits as a suburban hauler with mild off-road capabilities it's a mixed bag. About the same size as the Kia Sorento the Edge doesn't offer third row seating. The tow rating has been upped from a paltry 2000 lbs to 3500 but that still trails the Sorento's 5000 lbs. The interior is attractive but hardly cutting edge (and definitely not eye catching. What's with the toy tach on the left side of the instrument cluser?) I do like the 2.7 V6 twin scroll turbo so if one is looking for a peppy, relatively affordable crossover, it's worth checking out. But ultimately I had to agree with my wife that the V6 Sorento was a better choice. I don't think the updated version of the Sport would lead to a different conclusion.
Its a tremendous amount more of power. Don't confuse peek numbers between a 3.7 and 2.7 ecoboost. I'm sure this vehicle is very restricted at launch to preserve the AWD system. I would love to see a 30-70 comparison between the two generations.
@Anthony Tomaro I think you're confused. The 2019 Edge ST does not have a 3.7L V6. It has the same 2.7L V6 as the previous year's Edge Sport. It's the same engine as the base engine in the Ford 150 and the (soon to be extinct) Ford Fusion Sport. You may be thinking of the Ford's 3.7L NA V6 that was available in the Lincoln MKZ or the 3.5L V6 that's available in the Lincoln Navigator.
As I said, I seriously considered the 2018 Edge Sport. It was a budget bargain for a (modest) performance crossover. But there's a reason it was $20K+ less than the Durango SRT or the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. With the 2019 Edge ST that price gap narrows somewhat but it doesn't appear that the performance follows suit.
The Ford Edge is 188.1 inches in length. The Kia Sorento is 189 inches. In fact, the Sorento and Edge are the two smallest mid-size crossovers. Each is about 11 inches shorter than the Mazda CX9, for example. Virtually no one (who knows what they're talking about) would classify a Sorento as "full sized." No more than the Honda Pilot, the Toyota Highlander, Nissan Murano, Grand Cherokee, etc, all of which are larger than the Sorento. Full-size SUV's include vehicles such as the Chevy Suburban, Tahoe, the Ford Expedition, and the Lincoln Navigator.
Yes, the Edge has significantly more torque. It has a definite edge in acceleration, about 1 second 0-60, for example. (6 seconds versus 7 seconds) Doesn't change the fact that it tows 1500 lbs less than the Sorento.
The Kia has 252 lb-ft of torque which doesn’t arrive until 5200 rpm, the Edge 2.0L has 275 Foot Pounds. You will not tow 5000 pounds uphill on the highway at keep up with traffic. The Sorento also top out at 48K. The Edge ST is much better handling and if you don't all that power the SEL is just find with the 2.0L. Currently in New England you can get about $5000.00 rebates right now on the 2018.
If you know anything about towing torque is what moves the load. At 252 lb-ft which doesn’t arrive until 5200 rpm your engine will be screaming to tow a 5000 pounds. Visit some campgrounds and you will not find any Sorento's towing travel trailers 21 to 25 feet which weigh about 5K. You won't find Edges there, or Explorers either. They are not made for it and don't have the brakes, suspension, tongue weight to comfortably. Plus the trailer outweighs the tow vehicles.
Nice to see the trunk space is 2 to 3 "Romans" big!!
How many ponys? And how muxh torque?
55K ford. just what i was looking for
Durango RT? v8 Cherokee... but this is not the point
To me, it’s not really so much about the power as what else is available in this price range that’ll get you more credibility than an Edge. For $55k, you could also get a modestly optioned Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sport or BMW X3 with the M-Sport package. And both are just as quick or quicker (and “COOLER”) than the Edge ST... Just an observation.
You can buy a ST with for the low 40's and the price will just continue to drop when more land on the dealers lot.
You can find a lightly used 2016 Cherokee SRT for under 60k at most dealers.
How do know how lightly it has been used? You already lost at least two years or warranty and you may not know if the truck has a tune in it that could void the warranty if something would break in the engine. So you will get 14 mpg, have less cargo room, poor quality, a droning engine, but it is faster.
RIP Ford
What about the Bucio TourX? All wheel drive, turbo, and a dual auto clutch .....
Cool crossover :)
Why so many plastics all around?
Marcin F you should see the inside of my FJ 😂😂😂
Marcin F buy a Volvo XC60 Rdesign Polestar. World car of year and Beautiful inside.
James DeHart but the FJ is not new and this is expensive lol
Guys check out cx-5 interior for less $$$
Ok should they use soft foam, metal, all wood, alligator skin? What would you choose?
My cat’s bathroom habits are more fascinating than this Edge ST
😂
You know what they say about crazy cat people who play in the litter box.
So you drive a kitty liter box? Bet it says "GM" on it!
John Russell had an 87 Fox body Cougar XR7.... after college sold it and now drive a ZR2- Touché
