The Ford Edge ST is probably the most disappointing of the ST models. Even though it’s quicker than the Fiesta and the Focus, it doesn’t offer nearly the same level of driver engagement. The Edge ST was introduced in 2019 and was the first crossover to get the ST designation. It’s still available today and powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine that produces an impressive 335 horsepower.
Ford claims that the Edge ST will go from zero to 60 mph in under six seconds, and testing seems to bear out those claims. Unfortunately, it isn’t as nimble on tight roads or as quick to respond to steering inputs as its smaller ST cousins. Without a manual transmission (the Edge ST gets an eight-speed automatic), you’re a bit less connected to the action, too. Of course, a family SUV isn’t meant to live on the ragged edge all the time, so it’s not surprising that the performance is a bit more muted, even if it is technically faster.
