The new 2019 Ford Edge ST will come with a new advanced ‘Sport’ mode,
enabled with the push of a button on the transmission dial.
Press it and the Edge ST will enhance the driving
experience with things like setting the transmission into a more aggressive
shift schedule that holds gears for longer and faster upshifts, enabling
rev-matching feature for smooth downshifts, sharpen the engine response, switch
to a dedicated display of a tachometer in the instrument cluster and provide a
“more engaging” engine note through the active noise control system, among
others.
The 2019 Ford Edge ST will be powered by a
twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost engine with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of peak torque.
A quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the
steering wheel will be the only option.
Ford will offer the Edge ST with the Co-Pilot 360
suite of driver-assist technologies as standard. The suite includes systems
like lane keeping, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind
spot information and more.
The chassis of the 2019 Ford Edge ST has been
upgraded with new suspension, bigger brakes and bigger wheels. A set of 20-inch
alloys is offered as standard, with 21-inch items being an option.
Ford will also offer a Performance pack as an
option, which adds stickier summer tires, red brake calipers with performance
pads fitted, performance-oriented front rotors and a new dust shield.
