Ford Edge Model Years and History

The Ford Edge rolls into 2024 with minimal changes.

The Ford Edge rolls into 2023 with minimal changes.

The Ford Edge rolls into 2022 in all-wheel drive only as the front-wheel drive option has been removed, other notable changes include minor design changes to the interior and exterior.

The Ford Edge moves into 2021 with a few minor changes, the touchscreen gets an increase in size to 12-inches, the infotainment system also gets upgraded to Sync 4 while rear parking sensors are now on all trims.

The Ford Edge only gets minor updates for 2020, the most notable of which is a new styling package. Dubbed the Titanium Appearance Package, it adds 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, body-colored lower side cladding, some exterior chrome and brick red accent stitching on the interior. Six new color options are also available for 2020.

The 2019 Ford Edge receives a handful of updates for the 2019 model year. The exterior receives minor changes to the front and rear fascia and the standard 2.0L EcoBoost gains an additional 5 horsepower for 2019. Additionally, the 6-speed transmission is replaced by a new 8-speed automatic transmission. The Edge now comes standard with Ford's Co-Pilot 360, which is a suite of safety and driver assistance features. A new ST trim is offered in place of the prior year Sport model, powered by a 335-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine.

The 2018 Ford Edge gets only modest this year. The new SEL Sport Appearance Package adds tinted headlights, metallic front grille, rear spoiler, skid plates, plus 19-inch Magnetic-painted wheels. Inside now offers Mayan Gray premium cloth seats with Miko suede inserts and unique floor mats. SEL, Sport, and Titanium models can now be ordered with Safe and Smart Package that includes adaptive cruise control, collision warning and other safety tech.

The Ford Edge remains virtually unchanged for 2017. The Titanium has a new 20-inch wheel design, and four creatively named new colors join the palette: Blue Jeans, White Gold, Canyon Ridge, and the clear-coat Burgundy Velvet.

The Ford Edge remains mostly unchanged for 2016. The biggest change is to how the Edge is steered. A new adaptive steering system has been added as standard across the entire Edge lineup. The new steering promises to make the Edge both more fun to drive and easier to maneuver at low speeds. Adaptive steering achieves this by decreasing the number of turns needed to go lock to lock at parking lot speeds while increasing the amount input needed to steer the car at high speeds. The slower steering at high speeds works to both increase stability and allow for more precise inputs.

The Edge was completely redesigned for 2015. It is now built on the Fusion platform for precise car-like handling and the overall size has grown for a roomier, more comfortable interior and better cargo capacity.

A modest $500 price increase for the base model has been implemented in 2014, but the Ford Edge remains otherwise unchanged.

The Ford Edge sees only minor changes for 2013. Notably among them, the base SE trim is now available with all-wheel drive.

A new smaller-displacement engine option appears for 2012--a 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder that makes 240 horsepower yet helps the Edge achieve 24 combined mpg. SYNC now comes on the SEL. A few new colors are available, including Bordeaux Reserve Red Metallic, Mediterranean Blue Metallic and Earth Metallic.

Ford's popular Edge crossover is significantly refreshed for 2011. Exterior sheetmetal is revised, with a new front end that features softer, more aerodynamic lines as well as a new headlight design. The front fascia in all but the base model has vertical LED running lamps, while revisions to the taillights and rear bumper contribute tighten the look from the rear. Inside, Ford has upped the use of high-quality materials to improve look and tactile feel of interior surfaces. It's also better insulated for a quieter ride. The center stack is new and ergonomically spot-on, and it contains the interactive MyFord and MyFord Touch interface, as well as Ford's Sync infotainment system. A new 3.5L V6 is under hood putting out 285 horsepower, up from the previous V6 model's 265 hp. Despite the power increase, the unit returns 27 mpg on the highway--a 3 mpg increase over the previous engine. The Edge Sport will utilize a new 3.7L V6--a powerplant shared with the latest Mustang. In the Sport it produces 305 hp and 280 ft-lb of torque.

The Edge model line continues into 2010 with few mechanical or styling changes. An interior cargo shade is now available on all models and a wireless cell phone hook up and a rear-seat entertainment system can be had on the SEL. The Sport gets heated mirrors with memory standard, as well as the aforementioned entertainment system. Cloth seats are offered in the Limited, while trailer hitch receivers are no longer available across the line.

A new Edge Sport model joins the lineup for 2009, with a more aggressive appearance and distinctive driving feel as well as big 22-inch wheels and performance tires. The Edge Sport is available in four colors: black, Redfire, Brilliant Silver and Sport Blue. Also for 2009, several new technology features are introduced. Ford's Sync voice-activated calling and music interface adds 911 Assist, which calls emergency dispatch automatically if the airbags have been deployed, and a newer navigation system adds Sirius Travel Link, a subscription service that integrates live traffic, weather and other info. Also available is a new ambient lighting package. The rest of the Edge model line continues into '09 with few significant mechanical or styling changes.

The Ford Edge enters its second model year with a new top-of-the-line Limited model, and a new Interior Appearance Package, which brings red leather seats with contrast stitching. Other features newly available for 2008 include a power liftgate, a voice-activated, DVD-based navigation system, and the Sync system, which provides a voice-activated interface for cell phones and media players. The 18-inch wheels get a new design, and larger 20-inch wheels are now offered. Four new colors join the line for 2008: Vapor Silver Clearcoat Metallic, Light Ice Blue Clearcoat Metallic, Dark Ink Blue Metallic, and White Sand Tri-Coat.

The Ford Edge is a completely new model for 2007. This five-seat crossover is based on the Ford Fusion chassis, and is powered by a new 3.5L V6 engine that produces 265 horsepower. Three trims spread across two drivetrains allow customers to choose the equipment and price point that suits them best.
