2017 Ford Edge: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2017 Ford Edge is a carryover model with no major changes from 2016. Its trim lineup, engines, styling, safety equipment, and technology remain essentially the same.
About the 2017 Ford Edge
2nd generation Edge (2015-2018 before the 2019 refresh), third model year.
Ford positions the Edge as a two-row midsize SUV for shoppers who want more space and comfort than a compact crossover without moving into a bulky three-row vehicle. The brochure leans on confident styling, a smooth and quiet ride, flexible cargo room, and useful technology, while reviewers note its roomy cabin and easy-driving character. What sets the Edge apart is that it mixes family-duty practicality with a wider range of personalities than many rivals, from simple SE transportation to the much quicker Sport.
The 2017 Edge ranges from the straightforward SE and comfort-focused SEL to two distinct upper trims. Titanium emphasizes comfort and cabin technology with heated leather-trimmed seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and premium Sony audio, while Sport pairs standard AWD with a twin-turbo V6 and sport-tuned suspension.

2017 Ford Edge Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2017 Ford Edge.
4.2
2017 Ford Edge
(673 reviews)
“Excellent value for your money, roomy and comfortable to drive and do road trips in. Overall a great vehicle.”
“It's a great car, but advertised fuel figures seem...optimistic. Ride quality is also a little firmer than I would like on rough roads and over large bumps (e.g. speed bumps). Other than that, my wife and I have been really happy with the amount of car we got for the money. Ford's customer service leaves something to be desired, but that's a separate issue.”
