2022 Ford Edge Product Highlight

The Ford Edge has been a sought-out compact crossover vehicle for the past two decades now. The Edge has picked up a positive reputation for being cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive. Right now, the new Ford Edge 2022 is available for purchase. If you’re thinking of getting one, it is important to know about its quirks and features. Hence, the following is the 2022 Ford Edge product highlight:

Features

The 2022 Edge is part of the 2nd generation of the make that was refreshed just last year. It offers you spacious seating for 5, lots of standard equipment, powerful engine options, and a choice of 5 trims. This year’s model gets two new colors and appearance packages as well.

Engine and Numbers

We begin with the base engine which is anything but basic. It is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost turbo that offers 250 hp and 280 lb-ft. The other one is a twin-turbo EcoBoost 2.7-liter V6 engine that produces a whopping 335 hp and 380 lb-ft.

Both of these engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic (7-speed for the ST). You get standard all-wheel-drive with all of the models and powertrains. The result is that the 2022 Edge can give you a 0 to 60 mph time of up to 5 seconds if you equip it right.

Meanwhile, the fuel economy is great as well. According to the EPA’s rating, the maximum mileage that a 2022 Edge can give you is 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. Even if you get the aforementioned high-end engine, your Edge will still give you up to 25 mpg on the highway.

Lastly, you the 2022 Edge will also do well when you’ll need to haul something. When you equip it with the Class II Towing Package, it’ll provide you with a towing capacity of up to 3500 lbs.

Interior and Technology

Like the previous models of this generation, the 2022 Ford Edge’s interior has also been lauded. Of course, you get an attractive interior with quality materials that is quite spacious as far as headroom and legroom is concerned.

Ford has designed it nicely to fulfil all your storage needs as well. The Edge offers many storage cubbies which when combined with its spacious trunk, give you a lot of room for cargo. The following are some of the highlights of its trims:

2022 Ford Edge SE

We begin with the Edge SE, which offers a fair number of standard amenities. These include dual-zone climate control, push-button ignition (with intelligent access), cruise control, and two 12V power points.

For the infotainment, you get a massive 12-inch touchscreen, 4 USB slots, Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity, 6 speakers, and more. It also doesn’t let you down in the safety department with blind-spot monitoring (combined with cross-traffic alerts) and lane-keep assist. You also get a rear-view camera as well.

2022 Ford Edge SEL

The SEL offers you some additional standard equipment. You get two 4.2-inch displays where the gauge cluster is, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. For added comfort, the front seats are heated and powered (10-way driver and 4-way passenger).

2022 Ford Edge ST-Line

The ST-Line trim is the middle trim, and it offers more comfort with its leather-wrapped steering wheel (with red stitching) and its powered liftgate. It also gets you more perks such as a wireless charging pad, remote start, and a 110V AC power outlet – all of them are standard.

2022 Ford Edge Titanium

We’re now at the Edge Titanium which is even more luxurious. You get leather-trimmed seats and the front passenger’s seat gets upgraded to 6-way (powered) adjustability. The liftgate is not just powered but it has hands-free operation (via foot).

There are memory features for the driver’s seat and the exterior mirrors. It also gets you ambient mood lighting, a heated steering wheel, and its highlight – a premium 12-speaker sound system by B&O.

2022 Ford Edge ST

The Edge ST 2022 is better known for its high performance, but it offers some interior extras as well. The 2022 Ford Edge ST’s interior has been designed a bit differently. For instance, you get captain’s chairs (adorned by ST logos and unique stitching) upfront that have that help you drive better.

Exterior and Driving

On the outside, the 2022 Edge looks as stylish as ever. You get silver 18-inch aluminum wheels on the base model. The SEL trim adds a pair of silver roof rails and 18-inch silver spoke aluminum wheels. The ST-Line trim adds ST badging, LED lighting (w/ dark bezel), and cool black 20-inch aluminum wheels.

We then get to the two top-tier trims. The Platinum trim adds 19-inch nickel-painted aluminum wheels to the vehicle. If you want the ST trim to stand out in traffic, then you can equip it with the ST Performance Brake package. This adds 21-inch gloss black wheels, and colored rotors and calipers.

So, how does it drive then? Well, the handling is great according to the testers and you will love driving it through corners. The ride is extremely comfortable and noise-free as well. Now while the standard engine gives you a lot of oomph, the V6 with the ST trim will give you a performance like no other.

Reliability and Warranty

The 2022 Edge hasn’t been tested by JD Power so there aren’t any reliability ratings to judge. However, the feedback from the users online is positive and there are no recalls as of now. The NHTSA’s ratings are positive as well so expect the Edge to be safe.

The warranty on the 2022 Edge is Ford’s limited warranty, which is valid for 3 years/36k miles. The powertrain warranty is good for 5 years/60k miles.

Verdict

The new Ford Edge 2022 is a great vehicle and an excellent choice if you want a small CUV. It is spacious and comfortable from the inside and it is quick as well. You get a lot of standard equipment and a vehicle that doesn’t consume a lot of fuel for its class.
