2019 Ford Edge

Recent Arrival! 2019 Ford Edge SEL Heres a detailed overview of the 2019 Ford Edge SEL what it offers, its specs, plus some things to check if youre thinking of buying one. What it offers / key highlights â¢The 2019 Edge received a major update: the 3.5 L V6 was dropped, and the standard engine for SE/SEL/Titanium trims is a turbocharged 2.0 L EcoBoost inline-4 producing about 250 hp (some sources say 245 hp) and around 275-280 lb-ft of torque. â¢It uses an 8-speed automatic transmission (new for 2019) which helps both performance and fuel economy. â¢Trims: The SEL sits above the base SE, so you get additional comfort/features (see next section). â¢Fuel economy: Depending on drivetrain (FWD vs AWD), roughly 21-22 mpg city / 28-29 mpg highway in many configurations. â¢Safety & tech: The car comes with many modern safety-driver assist features, such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking as standard or available. â¢Space/utility: Seats five, good rear-legroom, decent cargo capacity for the segment. SEL-trim specific features As typical for the SEL trim in 2019: â¢Upgraded interior over SE: Dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power front seats (10-way driver / 6-way passenger) in many cases. â¢Added exterior touches: LED fog-lamps, maybe unique wheels, body-colored mirror caps with turn signals, chrome window line/roof rails in some packages. â¢Option packages: On the SEL you could often add bigger packages (like equipment group 201A) that include features such as heated front seats & heated steering wheel, panoramic roof, upgraded infotainment. Key specs (for the SEL version) Here are some numbers to know: SpecValue Engine (non-ST trims)2.0L EcoBoost I4, turbocharged Horsepower~250 hp Torque~275-280 lb-ft DrivetrainFWD standard; AWD optional Fuel economy (AWD)~21 city / 28 highway mpg Cargo capacity (behind 2nd row)~39.2 cu ft Max towing (when properly equipped)Up to ~3,500 lbs My verdict If I were advising you: The 2019 Edge SEL is a solid choice for a mid-size crossover SUV with a good mix of size, performance, features, and modern safety tech. It offers more than just the base trim (SE) in terms of comfort and features. If you like, I can pull up current market pricing in Shawnee/Kansas (or nearby) for a 2019 Edge SEL (used) so you can see what it might cost now. Would you like me to do that?
