Is the Ford Edge 4 or 6 cylinder?
Across its lineup, the Ford Edge has been offered with both four- and six-cylinder engines. In the latest generations, the base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the high-performance Edge ST uses a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.
To understand the question in more detail, it helps to map how engine choices evolved by generation and trim, and what you should look for when shopping for a used Edge.
Engine options over the Edge’s lifespan
The following overview highlights the typical engine configurations that have appeared in Edge models, noting when four-cylinders or six-cylinders were available.
- Early generations (approx. 2007–2010): a traditional six-cylinder engine was common, with a larger V6 powering most trims.
- Mid generations (approx. 2011–2019): Ford introduced modern EcoBoost options, including a turbocharged four-cylinder as a base engine and V6 options on higher trims.
- Recent generations (approx. 2019–2023): the standard engine shifted toward a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, with the Edge ST offering a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for performance-minded buyers.
In short, Ford has offered both cylinder configurations across the Edge’s life, but today’s non-performance models are typically four-cylinder, and the only factory V6 option is the turbocharged 2.7L in the Edge ST.
Engine options for buyers today
For shoppers evaluating current Edge trims, the cylinder count generally depends on the model:
- 4-cylinder option: 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged inline-4, common on most non-performance trims for efficiency and cost.
- 6-cylinder option: 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 on the Edge ST (the sport/performance variant).
- Older V6 option: 3.5-liter V6 was offered in earlier generations but is not part of the current production lineup.
When shopping used vehicles, always verify the exact engine via the window sticker or VIN lookup, as configurations varied by year and market.
Identifying your Edge’s engine
Here are practical steps to confirm which engine a particular Edge has without disassembly:
- Check the exterior badging (EcoBoost 2.0, 2.7, or other).
- Consult the owner’s manual or original window sticker for engine displacement and configuration.
- Use the VIN to pull official specs from Ford’s site or a trusted vehicle history service.
Knowing the exact engine helps with maintenance intervals, fuel economy expectations, and potential upgrades.
Summary
The Ford Edge has spanned both four- and six-cylinder configurations over its lifetime. In recent years, most models run a 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder, while the performance-oriented Edge ST uses a 2.7L EcoBoost V6. Older generations offered larger V6 options such as a 3.5L V6, but those are not part of the current lineup.
