Should I Buy the 2023 Ford Edge?
The Edge drives well and offers good ride comfort, and its many standard active safety features are welcome. The base engine that goes in most trims delivers modest power, but the high-output V-6 in the ST is considerably stronger. It’s possible the Edge will be discontinued soon; it was last redesigned for 2015, and it’s showing its age against newer-design class rivals.
