2021 Ford Edge

Beaver Direct Certified 2021 Ford Edge ST-Line The ST Look Without the V6 Running Costs Panoramic Roof, 12-Inch Screen 61,000 Miles Iconic Silver Metallic over Ebony Stock #TA58353A The ST-Line exists for a very specific person: someone who wants the Edge ST's attitude without the Edge ST's fuel bill. It takes the ST's aggressive front end - the distinctive grille, body-colored bumpers, black exterior trim accents - and puts it on 20-inch gloss black wheels, with LED lighting and standard fog lamps. From twenty feet away it reads as the hot one. Underneath, instead of the ST's thirsty 2.7-liter V6, it runs the twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost making 250 horsepower through an 8-speed automatic. You get the look, the stance and the wheels, and you pay four-cylinder money at the pump and on the insurance bill. That is a genuinely smart trade, and it is why the ST-Line moved as well as it did. 2021 is also the year Ford gave the Edge a screen nobody else in the class could match. A 12-inch touchscreen running SYNC 4A became standard across the range - largest-in-class at the time, mounted vertically, with split-screen so you can run navigation on one half and audio on the other simultaneously. It brought cloud-connected navigation with live traffic, natural voice recognition that understands ordinary sentences, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto over the vehicle's own built-in Wi-Fi. Sit in a 2020 Edge and then sit in this one; the difference is not subtle. The original owner added $2,590 in options, and one of them changes the entire cabin. The $1,595 Panoramic Vista Roof - a full-length power panoramic glass roof with one-touch express open and close and a power sunshade. Not a fixed panel: it actually opens. A glass roof this size makes the interior feel dramatically larger and brighter than the dimensions suggest, and the back seat stops feeling like the back seat. There is also Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ ($895), which brings the adaptive cruise control with lane centering described below, and a mini spare wheel with tire ($100) - a small line item, but a real spare beats an inflator kit and a prayer on the side of 400. Inside, ActiveX seating material in Ebony with heated front bucket seats. ActiveX is Ford's premium synthetic leather, and for a daily driver it is the practical choice: it wipes clean, it shrugs off a spilled coffee, and it does not dry out and crack after a few Georgia summers the way inexpensive leather does. The heated seats are a January feature you will use far more than you expect. Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, and the Assist+ package builds on it. Forward collision mitigation senses an impending impact with the vehicle ahead and acts to prevent or reduce it. Pedestrian impact prevention monitors the road, identifies and tracks pedestrians, and takes action if a collision becomes likely. Hands-on adaptive cruise control manages your speed and your following distance and helps hold the vehicle centered in its lane - set it at the on-ramp and a long highway run becomes a substantially easier drive. There is also a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot that runs your devices off the vehicle instead of your data plan. Iconic Silver Metallic against gloss black 20s is the combination that makes this trim work. Silver is the most forgiving paint on the lot - it hides pollen, road film and the fine swirl marks every vehicle collects - and against the ST-Line's blacked-out grille, trim and wheels, it gives you high contrast instead of a monochrome blob. The dark elements read as deliberate rather than disappearing, which is the whole point of the package. Worth knowing: Ford stopped building the Edge. Production ended after the 2024 model year, so there is no new one to go compare this against and no next generation coming. The Edge occupied a genuinely
