2023 Ford Edge: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Ford Edge is largely a carryover, with no redesign, powertrain update, or lineup-wide technology change. The main update is a standard silver honeycomb grille with a chrome surround on SE and SEL trims.
About the 2023 Ford Edge
2nd generation (2015-2024), late-cycle year after the 2019 refresh and the second-to-last US model year.
Ford positioned the Edge as a roomy two-row midsize SUV for drivers who want more passenger and cargo space than a compact crossover without a third row. Its defining strengths were standard AWD, a large 12-inch touchscreen, broad standard driver-assistance equipment, and a comfortable cabin suited to commuting and road trips. The ST added a genuine performance choice that most competitors did not offer.
The SE covers the essentials with standard AWD, a 250-horsepower turbo engine, a 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and core driver-assistance features. SEL adds comfort equipment, ST-Line supplies sportier looks, and Titanium emphasizes cabin conveniences such as memory seating and premium audio. The ST is the performance model, with a 335-horsepower twin-turbo V6, a sport-tuned suspension, and standard towing hardware.
