The 2022 Ford Edge
All of the models of the Ford Edge offer remarkable performance with that bold and beautiful style. The technology included is also just as impressive as you would hope. You can’t miss the large 12-inch color touchscreen display prominently front and center when you get in, and which syncs easily using Ford’s Sync4A technology with your smartphone. Additionally, there are two driver-configurable 4.2-inch LCD displays in the cluster in most of the trims (such as the ST!).
The safety advancements of the Ford Co-Pilot360 technology work together with built-in sensors to keep everyone safe. Ford has an app to put the control in the palm of your hand with remote start/stop, locking/unlocking, locate vehicle, and more. You can even use this app to check your fuel levels or if your Edge needs maintenance. As a bonus, you can earn reward points through the app for regular maintenance!
Comfort is a central focus with this SUV, and Ford has made sure there is plenty of space for everything and everyone. Unlike some other medium sized SUVs, the Edge only has two rows of seats rather than three. This gives all the passengers extra room to stretch and offers plenty of storage. In fact, Car and Driver states that they were able to fit 29 carry-on suitcases in the Edge with the rear seats folded down (https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/edge) and there are several storage cubbies throughout the cab for keeping things organized.
Does the ST Drive Better Than the Other Models?
Ford took care to make sure that the ST really stood out from its lesser variants. The most obvious change is the upgrade to a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine, offering a whopping 335 horsepower. They also worked to give the entire vehicle a sportier feel. Thicker roll bars and a brake-based torque vectoring system as well as a revised spring rate work together to keep the ST stable and prepared for anything.
The ST offers a Performance Brake Package which is available only for this trim. In this package you will receive 21” premium gloss black-painted aluminum wheels, front and rear vented disc brakes with unique 13.6” front rotors, brake calipers painted a bright Colorado red, performance brake pads, and vented brake shields. On top of that, this package also outfits the Edge ST with a brushless radiator cooling fan and offers summer-only tires. With this package, your ability to stop on a dime is improved dramatically when you are having fun showing off that engine power.
What Other Features Does the 2022 Ford Edge ST Provide?
The ST speaks a language of luxury. With a B&O sound system by Bang & Olufsen that has 12 speakers including a subwoofer and the ability to seamlessly sync with your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can enjoy surround sound music while you travel. If you aren’t sure how to get to where you are going, add on the option to include connected built-in navigation with pinch-to-zoom capability through AT&T and even find out what traffic conditions are like ahead.
While the other trim options for the 2022 Ford Edge have the Class II Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control as an optional add-on at additional cost, this package comes standard on the ST. Not only does this increase the towing ability to 3,500lbs, but it also can provide better stability in towing. With sway control, your vehicle can automatically detect if the trailer is swaying and will help correct it through either braking, speed changes, or engine torque reductions.
There are some other features that would cost extra on the other trims, or may not even be offered, which come standard for the ST model. A power liftgate, rain sensing wipers, aluminum brake and accelerator pedal covers, ambient lighting, heated front seats (with an option to make them cooled seats as well), and so much more. These small luxuries add up to make a big difference, and make the ST an obvious choice.

If you’d like to customize the outside of your Edge, you are in luck! Seven paint color options are available on this beauty, including the new Forged Green option. The wheels can be either a 21” premium gloss black-painted aluminum or 20” bright-machined aluminum with high gloss black-painted pocket wheels. The LED signature headlights can be upgraded to adaptive LED headlamps with LED amber light blade turn signals. Make it look unique and stylish, personalized as you want it to be.
