What are the different versions of the Ford Edge?
The Ford Edge has appeared in a handful of versions across two main generations, with standard trims like SE, SEL, and Limited in the early years, and later adding Titanium and the performance-focused Edge ST. The model line was discontinued in North America after the 2023 model year. This article breaks down the official versions by generation and explains how the lineup evolved over time.
What follows is a detailed look at the Edge’s official versions, organized by generation, to help prospective buyers and enthusiasts understand what each trim and variant offered and when it appeared.
First generation: 2007–2014
Trims offered
The initial Edge lineup was built around three core trims, offering a balance of value, comfort, and features. Over its first-generation run, these trims remained the backbone of the Edge family.
- SE
- SEL
- Limited
The first generation established the Edge as a mid-size crossover with a focus on practical utility and a comfortable ride, while gradually adding option packages and feature content across model years.
Second generation: 2015–2023
Trims and notable variants
The second generation brought a refreshed design, updated technology, and a broader trim ladder. In the late years of this generation, Ford introduced a dedicated performance variant to appeal to buyers seeking sportier driving dynamics.
- SE
- SEL
- Titanium
- Edge ST (introduced in 2019 and produced through the end of the generation)
SE and SEL remained the mainstream choices for most buyers, while Titanium expanded comfort and technology features. The Edge ST was added about mid-cycle to offer enhanced performance, sport-tuned handling, and more powerful engine options compared with non-ST trims.
Discontinuation and current status
Ford announced the discontinuation of the Edge in North America after the 2023 model year, signaling the end of new Edge versions in the U.S. and Canada. The move reflected Ford’s broader shift toward a more electrified and SUV-focused lineup, with attention turning to models like the Escape, Explorer, and new electric offerings.
In the market context, Edge inventories and remaining dealer stock continued to clear in some regions into 2024, but there have been no new model-year Edge vehicles announced for NA markets beyond 2023.
Summary
The Ford Edge progressed from a three-trim, value-focused first generation (SE, SEL, Limited) to a more expanded second generation that added a Titanium option and a high-performance Edge ST. The model was ultimately phased out in North America after 2023, marking the end of new Edge versions in that market. For shoppers seeking a Ford SUV with similar size and versatility, alternatives include the Ford Explorer, Ford Escape, and the newer electric and hybrid offerings in Ford’s lineup.
