What is new for the 2023 Ford Edge?
The Ford Edge received a few different administrative changes in 2023, largely just changing what was standard on trims or what came with packages. The ST model received a new appearance package and a perimeter alarm now comes standard. The Iconic Silver honeycomb grille now comes standard on both the SE and SEL trims. The SEL convenience package now comes with Iconic Silver fog lamp bezels.
Similar additions were made in 2022 as the vehicle again went largely unchanged but shifts were made to the standard features and the available packages. In 2022 the SEL trim received an available Adventure package with cosmetic changes such as the addition of faux leather seats and more. The Ford Edge has largely not changed in the past few years, which means that selecting between the two should mostly be based off of which is cheaper, if that is possible.
Is the Ford Edge good on gas?
The Ford Edge has great gas mileage when compared to the rest of the segment. The only way to really go beyond the standard and to be completely and totally competitive is to possibly add a hybrid to the Ford Edge powertrains. The Ford Edge ST has a more powerful engine and gets 19 mpg in town and 25 mpg on the highway. With the standard 4 cylinder engine the Edge gets 21 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. This is competitive within the segment and with some of the other sportier crossovers. The Ford Edge makes for a great daily drive with every possible savings on gas.
What is better, the 2023 or 2022 Ford Edge?
The 2022 and 2023 Ford Edge are identical vehicles, the only difference between the two is a couple changes in standard materials and available packages. Determining which is the better vehicle for you comes down to two factors. The first would be whether you need the newest vehicle or not. This would push you towards getting the 2023 Ford Edge. However, occasionally depending on the dealership, there are deals on the outgoing model, which means that the 2022 Edge might come in at a reduced price and make it a better option simply because it saves you a few dollars.
