What's New For the 2020 Ford Edge?

Not much has changed on the Ford Edge for the 2020 model year. Now in its second production cycle, the midsize crossover SUV from Ford has dual-zone automatic climate control as a standard feature. Most of the most recent changes had been implemented in the previous model year when it had its mid cycle facelift.

Which Features are Available for 2020?

The 2020 Ford Edge is available in four trims: SE, SEL, Titanium, and ST. Two cloth-covered rows in the cabin seat up to five people, with the front including a 10-way power driver's seat and the rear consisting of a 60/40 split-folding seatback to expand cargo volume when needed.

Upgrades include leather seat or partial-leather seat trim (with the ST standing out with Miko inserted leather seats and silver stitching), front-seat and steering-wheel heating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear-seat back release ability, driver-seat memory, and 6-way or 10-way power on the front passenger seat. Included as standard comfort and convenience features are features such as the previously mentioned dual-zone automatic climate control, a smart key system with push-button engine start, cruise control, hands-free wireless connectivity, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a six-speaker stereo system with AM/FM radio, an audio jack, two smart charging USB ports, a SiriusXM satellite radio subscription, and the SYNC 3 communication system.

Optional or present on upper-level trims are features such as dual driver-configurable 4.2-inch LCD cluster displays, remote engine start, wireless charging ability, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a garage-door opener, a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, trial subscriptions to SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link, and a nine-speaker premium stereo system.

Great Power and Fuel Economy

On the SE, SEL, and Titanium trims, Ford installs a twin-scroll turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline 4-cylinder (I4) engine, which produces 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The ST stands alone with a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 with 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. Both engines-which have auto start-stop to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption-are hitched to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are choices on all trims but the ST, which has standard all-wheel drive.

2020 Ford Edge Safety Features

To prevent injury in the event of a collision, the 2020 Ford Edge provides eight airbags, which consist of a driver's knee airbag, a glove box door-integrated knee airbag, two front impact airbags, two side impact airbags, and two side curtain airbags. Driver-assistance technologies consist of post-collision braking, blind-spot information with cross-traffic alert, and lane-keep assist.

Other standard safety features on the Edge include a rearview camera, a SOS post-crash alert system, reverse sensors, hill start assist, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, electronic stability control with roll stability control and curve control, torque vectoring control, traction control, LED daytime running lights, a front safety belt reminder, and an anti-theft system. Ford adds a perimeter alarm and a keyless entry keypad to beef up the anti-theft system on the Titanium and ST.
