What’s astonishing to me is the power/efficiency mix. We have an Explorer ST and it got 29 mpg on a road trip this week, and we were going 75-80 mph almost the entire time. It’s a huge honking 3 row 2.5 ton behemoth, and has gobs of power (400+ hp/tq). Wife wanted an Edge ST now and it’s on order.
I have this in white. Put in 94 octane gas, turn off the ESC, put it in sport mode and let it rip. Freaking fun SUV to have a blast with. I laugh at people who post shit comments on this car without driving it. Great review by the way.
We have a 2018 Sport in White Platinum Metallic and I love that 2.7L Eco-boost! Very quick and the acceleration just makes it a lot of fun to drive. Slapped a JLT Performance Oil Catch Can on it to capture that blow by so it should be reliable for years to come.
@@MissV2024 Yes, and you can always fold down the two rear seats for long objects. I bought a big Weather Tec mat to protect the cargo area as well. Any questions, just ask. Let's exchange cat pictures.
We have a 2018 Edge SEL with the v6. Fun to drive, lots of power, smooth and quiet. We drove from San Diego to Illinois and back. Lots of room for things in the back. Very comfortable on long trips.
Thanks for another interesting review but may I suggest that you consider mentioning the engine and power output at the beginning of your reviews. Also in this review you did a zero to sixty mph test but there's no mention of the result. Best wishes.
Good review, and I agree with your assessment of the cheap-looking plastic pieces. I just bought a 2020 ST myself with the 401 package. Lovin' it so far! I also have a 2012 Edge, base model, which has been an excellent vehicle, too.
@@marseilleicon dope. I have a 14 limited with the pan roof and chrome 20 inch rims and a 10 limited. Gave the 10 to my son. It's all blacked out and he loves it. The body style and how it sits got me hooked. Working my way up to get me a 19 or a 20. 👍🤩
I own one of the fastest edge titaniums in the world built by mountune . I will tell you this year let me down and ford knows why . It lacks the power the previous edge st had . Definitely one of the best looking suvs though .
Great review. I love the car and agree about the trim around the infortainment system’s bezel however I think that piano black would show fingerprints and more of the same plastic aluminum would look even tackier and cheaper. Some might disagree but I think that in keeping with this trim’s theme a carbon fiber look around the informatainment bezel, the trim around the storage box atop the dash above the unit and the trim piece above the glove box.
Dan Dargie, I have driven a ford edge st in the winter. They handle themselves amazingly, and hold their own just as much as they do in summer for reliability and power
Dan Dargie Glad I could answer that. I just got my license like 4 months ago and I had my permit with snow and salt on the ground (Wisconsin) but my moms car is a 2019 ford edge st and it drove insanely well so i’m sure the 2020 is even better
Have to say that the 2013 edge is awesome when you wreck wife did at 60 mph n didn’t get hurt ,she t boned a truck the edge did it’s job perfect now in a 2015 now wants a 2021 year model .I drive 17 hrs on vacation n I’m 6’ 200# n pretty convertible.The only thing I hate is windshield reflection,but they handle the road great
Good review on the Edge ST. But I'm gonna have to disagree on the dashboard bezel. If it were piano black it would be reflective and reflections are a problem in this model. I noticed you didn't address the chrome accents around the AC vents. When the sun is out and coming in from the side, the reflection is absolutely blinding. Passengers have the same issue with the sun on their side too. So much so that Ford should recall and replace those trim pieces! Severe eye damage happening. The dashboard, which seems huge, also reflects back up on the windshield. On overcast days or nighttime, no problem.
I had the same issue with the front seats I almost bought one in December and I just could not get comfortable in the driver seat ended up going with the explorer ST
Thank you for this video. I put a deposit down on an ST and given its price, was getting a wee bit nervous about loving it. I did like my test drive, but there are so many SUV out there, it makes choosing difficult. My Ford dealer owes you one.
One of the best SUV bargains for the money is....A 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL. Same size as this Edge with all the safety features. The 2.5 liter drives and handles X-lent with comfort, a 5 yr bumper and 10 yr drive line warranty. 33 mpg hwy. $26,000 price. If you have a need for speed look elsewhere.
I disagree with your desire to have a piano black trim piece surrounding the screen. Piano black is very reflective, not good for a screen surround. As for the back seat legroom, I’m six feet, and I have ridden in the back of my 2019 Edge ST. I thought the leg room was fine. More importantly we have no back seat passengers 99.9% of the time.
Piano black plastic looks good just in the first 60 sec and nothing more. Especially when you have kids. This material is not practical, is susceptible to scratching and you see prints and the finest dust and all the time you must clean. If you want a car to have a luxury interior, just take expensive structural Carbon and Alcantara. The interior of the car is supposed to be idiot-resistant, easy to clean, and durable for years of use. Bravo Ford for this material in the entire interior trim!!!
Looks good on the outside, powerful engine, but an absolutely dated and horrid designed interior. That center stack for the HVAC controls are something out of a 80s Volvo.
Thanks for the review! The infotainment system and interior just look cheap, even at a discounted price point. Well, if you want a quick SUV, it's definitely that...
I own Ford Edge 2017 model.. You're correct, the interior doesn't match up with the price tag... However, driving dynamics of Ford Edge is the best among its competition and that puts a big smile on the face.... Steering feedback, suspension setup and the overall driving experience is really superb in its class...
I wanted to lease an rdx. But ended up leasing the edge ST for less. It’s faster? But I love my Acura’s. So no point to my story. Wish I had more money I guess.
These STs typically have ~$7k in discounts on them, good luck getting more than $2-3k off sticker on the RDX and this is way less than a similar Dodge/Jeep
Interior is way too out of date. Bad design doesn’t get better with time. I take a Grand Cherokee SRT. Looks better inside and out, naturally aspirated V8, and has aged well.
@@David-dx5wz my car makes any 2020 edge look like a Kia. You're just mad that you have to pay more money for a piece of shit plastic car lol. It's okay spend what you don't have, I don't need credit when cash is king you peasant, you.
Autumn Nightmare I’ve been in a 2011 edge limited and a new edge and I’ll tell you that you sound stupid. Also you clearly haven’t been in a Kia made in the past couple years.... Don’t get me wrong the 11 Edge Limited is a great vehicle but it can’t compare to a new ST or Titanium. Also cash is for fools, I can buy any car I want cash but with current low rates it’s free money to loan it out when I invest the cash I could’ve used to buy the car is making me 7% per year.

Wow car
отличный автомобиль , но дороги хуже чем в России .
I have edge ST 2020 and it's actually amazing car and I will give it one million stars in rating 😊
How’s reliability? Im considering a used one with 60-70k miles
I have this in white. Put in 94 octane gas, turn off the ESC, put it in sport mode and let it rip. Freaking fun SUV to have a blast with. I laugh at people who post shit comments on this car without driving it. Great review by the way.
I love my EDGE. Perfect size not too big not too small.
Ok. I'm thinking about purchasing and I want a small suv but I want it nice and tricked out. This the comment I was looking for
@@tamwoolfolk2687 I'd buy one. I love mine. It's an 09 and I would love to have a newer one!!!

Whats an oil catch can?
Thanks for the info. Never heard of catch can before.
I love what you do, keep doing it man you’re doing great!
I appreciate that!
I bought a 2020 Edge ST (in blue) and love it x100. This particular review is excellent! Thank you.
Can it hold a lot in the trunk area?
@@MissV2024 Yes, and you can always fold down the two rear seats for long objects. I bought a big Weather Tec mat to protect the cargo area as well.
Any questions, just ask.

@@qwest1000how’s it holding up reliability wise? Im considering a used 2020 with 60-70k miles
I own Ford Edge 2017 model, would surely plan to upgrade to 2020 Edge ST... Good and honest review...
You may find that the 8 speed trans isn’t as smooth shifting as the 6 speed you have now. I had a ‘17 sport and now have a ‘19 ST.
We have a 2018 Edge SEL with the v6. Fun to drive, lots of power, smooth and quiet. We drove from San Diego to Illinois and back. Lots of room for things in the back. Very comfortable on long trips.
The SEL ride is ok but the ST ride blows away the SEL.
And the older SELs V6 is a very different engine.
I've Driven one for the last few months and OMG its very good! the looks are amazing and the drive-ability inspire confidence even on quick turns!
How’s it holding up reliability wise? Im considering a used 2020 with 60k+ miles
I'm not any expert or creative, but I guarantee I could come up with a more attractive dashboard and center console
Toyota has some ugly dashes too
Yes, this dash looks pretty outdated even for a 2020.
Thanks for another interesting review but may I suggest that you consider mentioning the engine and power output at the beginning of your reviews. Also in this review you did a zero to sixty mph test but there's no mention of the result.
Best wishes.
It's very quiet not because of Insulation. It's because of acoustic noise control. The speakers play a negative wave to cancel out noise.
Good review, and I agree with your assessment of the cheap-looking plastic pieces. I just bought a 2020 ST myself with the 401 package. Lovin' it so far! I also have a 2012 Edge, base model, which has been an excellent vehicle, too.
Thanks for chiming in! I think a lot of people overlook edge ST, its a really good suv.
How much did you pay?
why didnt you buy a range rover sport instead?

I love the edge. I have 2. I wont buy any other car.
Me too, have a 15 white SEL with panoramic roof and black rims. I'm glad the body style hasn't changed much haha

brannon broadnax nice! I may switch to the bronco but will keep the edge lol
I'm debating between the edge ST and the blazer. I think ford wins

I agree, Imhave the 2016 Sport in black, I added some wrap on the dash.
Looks great.
Nice review!! I’ve had my eye on the Edge ST for awhile now!
Thanks!
Drivers Only only review I can’t find is how it does in the winter
Dan Dargie, I have driven a ford edge st in the winter. They handle themselves amazingly, and hold their own just as much as they do in summer for reliability and power

A nice set of polished alum wheels would improve the looks 100%
I really like my 2019 Edge ST, in black also.
Same, awesome vehicle
the gauge cluster needs to be upgraded to 2020 level from the stone age design.
Great review,nice job
Great suv
Nice review. Good information and well made. Keep it up man.

there are two things I'd change. 1 the Infotainment system is terrible. and 2 the exhaust is inaudible. other than that it's a great car so farm
Looks good on the outside, powerful engine, but an absolutely dated and horrid designed interior. That center stack for the HVAC controls are something out of a 80s Volvo.
My 2018 edge sport has more options than this one
Is this George?
Triple black, aka "Murdered Out".
My 2016 Mustang is the same where you can't choose the air vent without using the touchscreen. HATE it. Seems to be the thing now though.
Yea manual for climate controls is best.

The interior doesn't look cheap. Just the dash.
Nice
the 21 inch wheels are noice but you will but when you will get a light stroke when buying replacement. Start piggy bank early.
Blacking stitching on steering wheel would look nicer to compliment the all black interior with chrome accent
what song or beat is that from??
the intro music
Mine is silver and sick
How’s it holding up reliability wise? Im considering a used 2020 with 60k+ miles
Asking too much money.😫👎💀
The Audi Sq5 is a nicer luxury option. If you want luxury.
2015 Edge Sport is quicker ford dropped the ball on this model
My 2019 ST with the latest Livernois tune will walk that 2015 Edge Sport every time. Give me a call.
ford just knows how to fvck up the back of a car
Overpriced for a car that needs a major interior/exterior update. I'd favor an Acura RDX or even a Dodge Durango/Chrysler Grand Cherokee.
lol all three you named are outdated, along with the outdated edge.
I wanted to lease an rdx. But ended up leasing the edge ST for less. It’s faster? But I love my Acura’s. So no point to my story. Wish I had more money I guess.

Might as well get the f150
Wife won’t drive an f150. That picky bitch
The price is ridiculous for a Ford
If it has the 8F35 transmission don't buy it!!! You'll be sorry because they have problems with them and Ford won't fix them!!!
In my opinion piano black looks like crap. It looks nice for the the first few days to months and then looks like cheap scratched shiny shit.
Oh my lord that interior is to cringe for
Interior is way too out of date. Bad design doesn’t get better with time. I take a Grand Cherokee SRT. Looks better inside and out, naturally aspirated V8, and has aged well.
Not even close to the same price point essay
The jeep srt is 20k more
Nope, the Edge ST looks better imo. Just way too many Grand Cherokees on the road.
I'd buy a Honda Passport Ex-L over this ! Doubt it can handle off road also..
The reviewer is borderline.
Front copy pasta Acura. Getting tired of CUV/SU especially these "compacts" ones. More sedans. Anywho.
its a ford!! its trash!!! Next!!!!
No piano black. It’s the worst feature in modern cars.
I think carbon fiber would look great
My 2011 limited is better than this 2020 crap
Is it? Tell us more.
Just because you have shit credit and couldn’t get approved on one of these and pay $400 a mo for your 2011 doesn’t mean it’s better pal.
