The entire Edge lineup receives new wheel designs, and two new gray colors join the palette. A host of driver-assistance features is also standard, including lane-keeping assist and automated emergency braking. Luckily, an infotainment update for 2021 has provided a much larger display and Ford's latest Sync 4 operating system. The Edge's cabin is quiet and comfortable for four adults but is starting to look a little dated.
Most Edge models are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine but the sportier ST model gets a punchy twin-turbo V-6 with 335 horsepower that can leave most rivals in the dust. It’s a sharp-looking rig, too, but it faces heady competition from the likes of the Chevy Blazer, Honda Passport, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. With most mid-size SUVs going big with three-row layouts, the 2021 Ford Edge is among a rarer group that prioritizes two-row comfort over maximum people-hauling.
