At a Glance: The 2023 Ford Edge at Your Ford Dealer
Fuel-Efficient Performance
With multiple trim levels available, this edition of the Edge gives you two stunning engines to choose from, with the base option being a 250-horsepower 4-cylinder that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The other engine is a V6 that produces 335 horses and comes alongside a seven-speed automatic transmission.
In addition to strong performance, both engines offer impressive fuel efficiency, with the 2.7-liter getting an estimated 25 mpg on highways and the 2.0-liter offering up to 28 mpg. When leaving the pavement for more natural terrains, this edition’s Intelligent AWD automatically optimizes the vehicle for whatever it’s encountering, making off-road journeys a breeze.
Design and Technology
Inside and outside this edition, you’ll find plenty of first-class features and convenience, with multi-adjustable front-row seats that can be both cooled and heated, foldable rear seats that also offer a heating setting, a Cargo Management System, and a foot-activated power liftgate that can be opened easily when you’re in a hurry. The outside temperature display lets you keep tabs on the weather, while multiple fabrics are available for the seats, from premium leather trim to durable ActiveX material.
If you need to hop on the internet, there’s a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can be connected to with multiple devices, and the SYNC 4A infotainment system is sure to be appreciated with its turn-by-turn navigation assistance, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, voice-controlled calling function, and a wide array of entertainment options.
Driver-Assist Features
Many of the Edge’s driver-assist features are intuitive, as they’re able to predict and prevent collisions using either radar or camera technology, like the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and Pre-Collision Assist. The first system keeps watch over your blind spot zones to let you know when other vehicles are entering them, while the other system warns you to slow down if you’re moving too quickly toward other vehicles in front of you.
Then, there’s Adaptive Cruise Control, which comes with both Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering Assist technology that can automatically slow the vehicle when traffic in front of you slows down, resume your pre-selected speed again when your path is clear, and keep the vehicle centered within its lane.
With comfortable seating, off-road capabilities, and advanced tech features that can both entertain and guide the way on long journeys, this versatile Ford SUV has it all. Contact us today at Cloninger Ford of Salisbury to test-drive the 2023 Edge and get ready to be impressed.
