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.
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
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?
@@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.

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....
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

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.
Fast crossovers...so women can get to the grocery store faster and back up faster into obstacles while driving the kids to soccer practice. Smh...shame on you ford.
it'll never beat a sport car. but it could be fun, specially if you have kids and don't have money or space for a second car. Like a Macan will never be a 911, but is super fun to drive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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
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.
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.
"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"
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.
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.
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)
It looks like a fusion on the inside. Yes, it is based off of the same platform but still not an excuse. An ST meant that you had to actually shift the transmission yourself. Instead, you get the lousy dial shifter. Come on Ford....
@@vividvulpe9842 news is that party 7029.00gwy 7334507mgallagher know what you have appetizers on table we we are 0y with 8 mgallagher.com and me both of us who aren't going on with hugs 4th 8000HIGH
I hope these absolutely tank, Ford just pooped all over focus st and fiesta st enthusiasts in the U.S. When my focus st wears out im forced to buy a nice hot hatch of some other brand....thanks Ford.
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.
The engine should not be limited to top speed of 130 mph for $55,000 and being a 6 cyl.THAT IS JUST ASININE!! I don't care how many bells and whistles it's got going on.
@@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
Interior on these are super cheap. I know cause I have one, an edge se. Piano black plastic is nasty and scratches easily and the cheap plastic on the dash and infotainment creaks and rattles constantly. Really disturbing that the same materials are being used in a msrp car over 50k. Just step up and get a damn audi with way better fit and finish thats actually worth the price. Ford is really overcharging for cheap shitty materials and pricing themselves out of their own price bracket and stepping into entry luxury level, which it is not. Its cheap and I dont recommend this vehicle to anyone, period.
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)?
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
I can't believe they put an ST badge on this.. It's not an ST... It's a Sport with different badges. Such a shame what they did with this vehicle. Plus, it still has that awful interior. To be a true ST it needs a manual tyranny, which the euro version gets.
@@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.
I work in the plant in Oakville, Ontario that makes these. Chances are 50/50 that I brought those rotors, calipers, H-arms, half shafts, (and too many other parts to list) to the line, (as I drive a forklift). So if something goes wrong with your suspension, it was probably the guy on B Shift. 🤣 Jk, jk. We take our jobs seriously. Crazy that this popped up on my feed though.
Yah it only mid cycle refresh . It out dated . Who going wast 50k plus for this ? Wait couple,year when all new Edge comes out and pick up the ST and maybe a RT be out 😍👍🏼
Wow what a mistake ford the only reason i bought a Ford was because i loved what Ford did with the fiesta St and focus St so i got a focus st. I guess i won't be buying another ford what disappointment long live the manuals.
why no comments about the ride quality is it rough or smooth and why no 0-60's. Come on Roman you can do better or was there a embargo on ride comments
Kevin Ford, I can afford it as well as most people with decent credit I just don't see any value there. If it floats your boat buy it while others buy what they want.
I'll stick to Volvo, had a 2007 Ford Edge and a 2010 Ford Edge they were fine crossovers nothing special. I'm not paying $55k for a an Edge no matter how much power it has. Hell I get A/Z Plan pricing and I still don't always buy Ford's. Shit i just paid $40K for a Deck on the house...who can't afford vehicles? At least with the house I'll get most of my money back out out it (steal framed so it will last longer then the house will...lol or the Edge)
Roman was being nice as he could about it because he obviously doesn't want Ford to shut him out, but you know he was laughing on the inside. The notion of an ST Edge is a joke.
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.
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.
I love ford to death. But there’s no way in the world I’d buy this for $55k when I could purchase a 2018 Audi SQ5 for $55k. I love what they’re trying to do but these prices on newer vehicles are astronomical for what they are. Someone help me to understand why both the Audi sq5 and Ford Edge St cost the same but the edge does 14.2 in the quarter mile and the Audi does 13.1...... Plus build quality comparisons!
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.
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.
I really hate SUVs and this trend, but that does look nice. Crisp design, tight size, and clearly you could chip this to be at 400 easy. -Ok now find some tuners to review!
Why should people that need to haul their kids, pets, and all their gear have to drive boring vehicles? Look outside your tiny world and see that there are other people out there with different lifestyles.
Now that Ford are getting rid of their car lineup maybe they can use that money to improve that hideous interior. Black seats are the only available color. C'mon this aint back in Model T days. If Kia can make their cars more attractive and they been around less than forty years. C'mon Ford you been making cars for over 100 years.
Glad to see that our 2015-2018 Edges will not be beat by a new ST. Still a good looking SUV though! I love my 2015 Ford Edge Sport with the Livernois Tune! instagram.com/db1of1. Why doesn't Ford come out with a high performance EDGE? ST is not it!
Right? So stupid what they are doing, I wanted to test out the 3-cylinder Fiesta ST, but now I can't. it's thanks to majority of dumb fat city driving Americans who got to have their SUV's while driving to Starbucks and to pick up their little angels from school. It's funny that most of these people who want SUV's don't actually need them. My neighbors just bought one because they're having a kid - and they said they're only planning to have the one, so why do they need more vehicle for a child that can fit in a sedan just fine? It's not for hauling stuff, they already have a truck, so I am dumbfounded to why they need one. 65 year old neighbor across the street has one, but only drives it to the store - and no, she does not get a lot of groceries. She has nothing to haul, no pets, not for long distance, no road trips, no camping, no family she's taking care of, no reason other than she wanted more vehicle, and she's the type to talk about global warming, but doesn't realize her suv is getting 20 mp/g. Sorry for the rant, I'm just butt-hurt I get no more small hot-hatches from Ford (at least I admit it). Welp, go Golf GTI, I guess.
The ford guy said for enthusiast..... I'll keep my 5 speed man trans and 0 nannies on my 01 big turbo Audi. That is low to the ground as "sports" should be. this is not an enthusiast car! this is a car dad can say goes 0-60 somewhat fast buy can still haul kids and sit in traffic. top speed should be limited by the breaks! That's why you pay more for and Q5S because you can stop from 130mph! Good luck in the ford. Even the ST and RS cars had real breaks! Why because they are made to go fast! This is not.( From ford) "Vented rotors" every car has them! this is so much BS I hope they don't Sell. I'm not even a ford car guy i'm just a real car enthusiast and this is! a slap in the face to true car enthusiast! At 50K hard pass, if anything i'll buy a v8 WK2 at that price, and get a real SUV. JUNK JUNK JUNK!!!!
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.
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.
0-60 for 6 seconds or less, some websites obtained 5.2 seconds. That is NOT slow. Compare it to all other similar suvs and it will be one of the faster models. Remember, you can get the same speed for the base price of just under 43k.
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.
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.
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!!
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.

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

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
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
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.
I have the same engine in my 2017 Fusion Sport....it's fun to drive.
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 .
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?
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 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

STOP BUYING CROSSOVERS!
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
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.
$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.
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 TH-cam 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.
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.
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)
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.
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?
Combining people movers and sports cars just gives you a bland posermobile that is good at neither.
"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"
Just bought one, 55,000 miles on it for $23K. Really looking forward to driving it the next few years.
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.
Better buy CX 5 Or Toyota Rav 4 or Honda Crv...
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.

It looks like a fusion on the inside. Yes, it is based off of the same platform but still not an excuse. An ST meant that you had to actually shift the transmission yourself. Instead, you get the lousy dial shifter. Come on Ford....

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.
The engine should not be limited to top speed of 130 mph for $55,000 and being a 6 cyl.THAT IS JUST ASININE!! I don't care how many bells and whistles it's got going on.
Great video as always! They should do a RS version with the raptor's engine it will be perfect!

Interior on these are super cheap. I know cause I have one, an edge se. Piano black plastic is nasty and scratches easily and the cheap plastic on the dash and infotainment creaks and rattles constantly. Really disturbing that the same materials are being used in a msrp car over 50k. Just step up and get a damn audi with way better fit and finish thats actually worth the price. Ford is really overcharging for cheap shitty materials and pricing themselves out of their own price bracket and stepping into entry luxury level, which it is not. Its cheap and I dont recommend this vehicle to anyone, period.
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!
I can't believe they put an ST badge on this.. It's not an ST... It's a Sport with different badges. Such a shame what they did with this vehicle. Plus, it still has that awful interior. To be a true ST it needs a manual tyranny, which the euro version gets.
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.

I work in the plant in Oakville, Ontario that makes these. Chances are 50/50 that I brought those rotors, calipers, H-arms, half shafts, (and too many other parts to list) to the line, (as I drive a forklift). So if something goes wrong with your suspension, it was probably the guy on B Shift. 🤣 Jk, jk. We take our jobs seriously. Crazy that this popped up on my feed though.
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.
Crossovers are mostly for parents ditching minivans. I don't want one
They need too offer this engine on the Titanium trim level.
Only in America would we take real ST cars, dump them in the trash, and stick an st badge to a minivan cuv
This thing looks horrible. The interior is dated and worn-out. Ford Needs to redesign much of their line to compete in my opinion.
gonzo221...….What a re-dick-uliss comment...…..
gonzo221 I absolutely agree. Most of Ford’s lineup at the moment is at the end of their life cycles and need redesigns. The Explorer is old as hell.
and its still the best seller in its class.......
Devin Bender Explorer competes with Grand Cherokee, Pilot, 4Runner, etc
Yah it only mid cycle refresh . It out dated . Who going wast 50k plus for this ? Wait couple,year when all new Edge comes out and pick up the ST and maybe a RT be out 😍👍🏼
Wow what a mistake ford the only reason i bought a Ford was because i loved what Ford did with the fiesta St and focus St so i got a focus st. I guess i won't be buying another ford what disappointment long live the manuals.

why no comments about the ride quality is it rough or smooth and why no 0-60's. Come on Roman you can do better or was there a embargo on ride comments
I think the people that are complaining can't afford this Ford
Kevin Ford the people complaining are driving very nice late model cars...they just DON'T WANT THIS FORD.
Kevin Ford the people complaining are people who buy cars
Kevin Ford, I can afford it as well as most people with decent credit I just don't see any value there. If it floats your boat buy it while others buy what they want.
I'll stick to Volvo, had a 2007 Ford Edge and a 2010 Ford Edge they were fine crossovers nothing special. I'm not paying $55k for a an Edge no matter how much power it has. Hell I get A/Z Plan pricing and I still don't always buy Ford's. Shit i just paid $40K for a Deck on the house...who can't afford vehicles? At least with the house I'll get most of my money back out out it (steal framed so it will last longer then the house will...lol or the Edge)
Cant afford or don't want think its worth the cost? There is a difference.
Roman was being nice as he could about it because he obviously doesn't want Ford to shut him out, but you know he was laughing on the inside. The notion of an ST Edge is a joke.
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.
I love ford to death. But there’s no way in the world I’d buy this for $55k when I could purchase a 2018 Audi SQ5 for $55k. I love what they’re trying to do but these prices on newer vehicles are astronomical for what they are.
Someone help me to understand why both the Audi sq5 and Ford Edge St cost the same but the edge does 14.2 in the quarter mile and the Audi does 13.1......
Plus build quality comparisons!
Low cost benefit on interior...
Id rather have a 1999 tahoe 5.7L 4x4 with cloth interior
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?
As always, more for your money. Nothing in this price range can compete. Ford wins in this category hands down.
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
Yeah, this thing is pretty gay. Sucks that ford isn't making proper sports cars anymore.
I owned a 2010 Ford Edge. The car ate so much gas for no reason. It's was clunky and wasn't fun to drive.
I really hate SUVs and this trend, but that does look nice. Crisp design, tight size, and clearly you could chip this to be at 400 easy.
-Ok now find some tuners to review!
Bad interior quality.
If you want a practical car that is ACTUALLY fun to drive and can go on the track...... get a hot wagon or a hot hatch, hmmmm maybe the focus RS.
Coming to your local police department soon.
Lol I'll burn them in my ford focus xD!
They should have given this the 3.0L 400-hp V6 they use in the Lincoln vehicles.
ford edge interior looks so dam cheap. change it already
You have a very poor mic, your voice sound muffled. Like your in a tube.
The edge ST seems stupid.
Why should people that need to haul their kids, pets, and all their gear have to drive boring vehicles? Look outside your tiny world and see that there are other people out there with different lifestyles.
Stiffer suspension though . Ride would be kinda harsh however I do agree with your analogy.
To those that can't afford one maybe.
Cool vehicle, but an embarrassment to the ST lineage.
Did he say fast crossovers? Didn't know this was a comedy channel. 😂
You can spec this out with just a few options up to $50,000. Wayyyyy too much money
Now that Ford are getting rid of their car lineup maybe they can use that money to improve that hideous interior. Black seats are the only available color. C'mon this aint back in Model T days. If Kia can make their cars more attractive and they been around less than forty years. C'mon Ford you been making cars for over 100 years.
Glad to see that our 2015-2018 Edges will not be beat by a new ST. Still a good looking SUV though! I love my 2015 Ford Edge Sport with the Livernois Tune! instagram.com/db1of1. Why doesn't Ford come out with a high performance EDGE? ST is not it!
Nice edge dude!
Why so many plastics all around?

I cant believe ford is moving away from cars!! I guess they cant compete.....Very disappointed
The ST looks outdated right out the box.
Shotout to autoacademics.
Performance? It cant even line up against the SRT Durango or Grand Cherokee
Just wait until the Jeep/Dodge automatic transmission stops working and then we will run them
So they killed the Focus and Fiesta for this crap?
Right? So stupid what they are doing, I wanted to test out the 3-cylinder Fiesta ST, but now I can't. it's thanks to majority of dumb fat city driving Americans who got to have their SUV's while driving to Starbucks and to pick up their little angels from school. It's funny that most of these people who want SUV's don't actually need them. My neighbors just bought one because they're having a kid - and they said they're only planning to have the one, so why do they need more vehicle for a child that can fit in a sedan just fine? It's not for hauling stuff, they already have a truck, so I am dumbfounded to why they need one.
65 year old neighbor across the street has one, but only drives it to the store - and no, she does not get a lot of groceries. She has nothing to haul, no pets, not for long distance, no road trips, no camping, no family she's taking care of, no reason other than she wanted more vehicle, and she's the type to talk about global warming, but doesn't realize her suv is getting 20 mp/g. Sorry for the rant, I'm just butt-hurt I get no more small hot-hatches from Ford (at least I admit it). Welp, go Golf GTI, I guess.
The ford guy said for enthusiast..... I'll keep my 5 speed man trans and 0 nannies on my 01 big turbo Audi. That is low to the ground as "sports" should be. this is not an enthusiast car! this is a car dad can say goes 0-60 somewhat fast buy can still haul kids and sit in traffic.
top speed should be limited by the breaks! That's why you pay more for and Q5S because you can stop from 130mph! Good luck in the ford. Even the ST and RS cars had real breaks! Why because they are made to go fast! This is not.( From ford) "Vented rotors" every car has them! this is so much BS I hope they don't Sell. I'm not even a ford car guy i'm just a real car enthusiast and this is! a slap in the face to true car enthusiast! At 50K hard pass, if anything i'll buy a v8 WK2 at that price, and get a real SUV.
JUNK JUNK JUNK!!!!
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.
So now everything is going to be heavy , slow , poor handling , expensive pieces of crap .
0-60 for 6 seconds or less, some websites obtained 5.2 seconds. That is NOT slow. Compare it to all other similar suvs and it will be one of the faster models. Remember, you can get the same speed for the base price of just under 43k.
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.
Horrible!! Give me the Fiesta ST or Focus ST any day!!
RIP Ford
I saw this, when I left church and wow, nice ride but not a fan of double windows on the roof.
Shame on Ford. Seriously.
so much technology, so much to fail--might be great when it's new, but who will buy this used?
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!!
