2024 Ford Edge SEL

The 2024 Edge is a five-passenger midsize SUV slotting between the Escape and Explorer, with rivals like the Honda Passport and Nissan Murano. The Edge feels planted and responsive, with the ST's extra power making it the quickest of the bunch. The ride is firm, especially on the ST's sport-tuned suspension, which is the trade-off for its sharp handling. The cabin is roomy for four adults, with a large cargo area and a straightforward, easy-to-use infotainment system. The SEL adds heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control over the base SE. Its 2.0L I4 makes 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive for confident all-weather traction. The SEL rides on 18-inch wheels with all-season tires, and it returns 23 mpg combined.
