For 2019, the Edge also gets a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, which requires a dedicated data plan. Waze integration and Amazon Alexa connectivity are also available, the latter allowing drivers to do things like remotely unlock and start their car. Upper level models get the familiar Sync 3 system used in numerous other vehicles, with an 8.0-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto compatibility. Titanium models get leather seats with heating and cooling in the front row. The ST performance model gets nicely bolstered leather-and-cloth sport seats, and we appreciate that Ford didn’t go with a boy racer-like flat-bottom steering wheel, instead opting for a more restrained but functional design. The biggest difference is a rotary shift knob taken from the Fusion sedan, which frees up space for a wireless phone-charging pad in an adjacent cubbyhole. The 2019 Ford Edge is a refresh of an existing model, rather than a full redesign, so things don’t change too dramatically in the cabin. All prices include a mandatory $995 destination charge. Both models had optional extras, including a performance brake package for the ST and Elite appearance package for the Titanium. Pricing starts at $30,990 for a base Edge SE, while our ST and Titanium test vehicles were priced at $46,540 and $44,890, respectively. They’re the two top Edge models, with the ST focusing on performance and the Titanium on luxury. Ford invited us to Park City, Utah, to try out the ST and Titanium. ![]() In addition to the ST, the 2019 Ford Edge is available in SE, SEL, and Titanium trim levels. It’s likely to be the most controversial of the 2019 model year updates, which also include changes to the interior and the addition of Ford’s new Co-Pilot360 suite of driver aids. ![]() ![]() The Edge is the first crossover to wear the ST badge previously applied to performance cars like the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
