The 2023 Ford Edge SEL is designed to make daily life easier for families, offering a versatile SUV platform with ample rear seat space and flexible cargo options. Its roomy second row accommodates car seats and boosters with ease, while the split folding rear seat quickly adapts to strollers, sports equipment, or groceries, making it ideal for both school runs and weekend adventures. Parents seeking a practical, comfortable, and stylish family SUV will appreciate the Edge SEL's thoughtful features. The interior, finished in Ebony with ActiveX heated seating, provides comfortable seating for growing families, while dual-zone automatic temperature control helps keep peace between front and rear passengers. For St. Louis area families facing unpredictable weather, the all-wheel-drive system ensures confident traction and stability on slick city streets or highways. The SUV's EcoBoost 2.0L I4 GTDi DOHC Turbocharged VCT engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive power for merging onto highways or passing slower traffic, without sacrificing efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 21 MPG city and 28 MPG highway, it manages long commutes or family trips efficiently. The suspension and four-wheel independent setup contribute to a composed, comfortable ride, even with a full load of passengers and cargo. Safety is a top priority in the Edge SEL, offering parents peace of mind through a suite of active safety features. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist equips it with emergency communication via SYNC 4 911 Assist, rear parking sensors for easy maneuvering in tight spaces, and automatic high-beam headlights to improve nighttime visibility. Multiple airbags-including dual front, side, knee, and overhead airbags-extend coverage across all rows, while ABS brakes, electronic stability control, and brake assist help keep the vehicle stable and secure in sudden maneuvers. Families will find everyday convenience in features like heated front seats and steering wheel, power driver and passenger seats, and remote keyless entry. The Convenience Package adds useful touches for busy schedules, as does an auto-dimming rearview mirror and fully automatic headlights. Parents can manage school drop-offs with ease thanks to the split folding rear seat and ample rear cargo area, while SiriusXM with 360L, steering wheel audio controls, and a trip computer keep both drivers and passengers entertained and informed. When comparing the Edge SEL to other midsize SUVs like the Chevrolet Blazer and Nissan Murano, it stands out with its balance of advanced safety equipment and family-friendly interior design. Both competitors offer similar engine options, but the Edge's all-wheel drive and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist suite prioritize real-world peace of mind and adaptability for active families, helping it excel in both daily commutes and longer journeys. Common family questions are easily answered: Can you fit multiple car seats? Yes-the spacious second row with LATCH anchors supports several configurations. Is it safe for new teen drivers? The combination of stability control, airbags, and rear parking sensors provides a reassuring safety net. How does it handle winter driving? The standard AWD system is ready for changing conditions. What about warranty coverage? Ford's powertrain warranty extends for 5 years or 60,000 miles from the original in-service date, supporting confidence and cost control as your family grows.
