Putting the engine’s power to the road is an eight-speed automatic transmission that upshifts smoothly, but is irritatingly slow to downshift.
Credit Ford’s decision to place hard buttons on the center stack that control key audio and climate control functions and complement the system’s generally logical on-screen menus. Nevertheless, the system’s ergonomics are commendable. Blame the Sync 3 infotainment system that’s slow to respond to inputs and the dated-looking graphics of the gauge cluster screens. Our ST also features the Cold Weather package, which adds items such as a heated steering wheel and windshield wiper de-icer for $495.ĭespite its formidable features list, the Edge ST often feels behind the technology curve.

While every Edge ST sports a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible, a pair of 4.2-inch gauge cluster screens, and a 4G LTE wireless hotspot that connects up to 10 devices, ST’s equipped with the $5,585 401A equipment group (like this tester) add comfort and convenience items such as an in-dash navigation system, a wireless charging pad, an AC power outlet, a front-facing camera, an active parking system (parallel and reverse perpendicular), a panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, and heated rear seats (the package also includes a number of active safety features).

Thanks to $9,370 in options and $1,095 in destination fees, this Edge ST wears a sticker price of $52,820. But if – like many buyers in this segment – you seek the latest comfort, convenience, and active safety kit, then you’ll need to shell out a sizable chunk of change on optional extras. If performance is a high priority on your mid-size crossover shopping list, then it’s hard to argue against the ST. Despite this, the Blazer RS actually costs $1,145 more than the Edge ST. Only the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS comes close, although the bow-tie-badged crossover does without a model-exclusive engine. In fact, there’s truly no direct competitor to the Edge ST.
