Which Ford Edge trim has heated seats?

Heated front seats are available across several Ford Edge trims, with standard inclusion on higher trims and optional availability on base trims depending on the year and package. In contemporary configurations, SEL, Titanium, and ST typically include heated front seats, while the SE trim can obtain them through a Cold Weather package.

Understanding where heated seating fits in the Edge lineup requires looking at how Ford packages these features across model years. The Edge has been offered with multiple trim levels and optional packages, and heated seats are most often tied to winter-ready or comfort-oriented packages rather than being universal across all trims.

Heat comfort by trim

Below is a typical breakdown of heated front seat availability by trim for recent model years. Availability can vary by year and market, so always verify with Ford’s build sheet for the exact configuration.

• Edge SE: Not standard, usually available only with the Cold Weather Package or similar option that includes heated front seats.


• Edge SEL: Heated front seats are standard on most recent years.


• Edge Titanium: Heated front seats are standard on most recent years.


• Edge ST: Heated front seats are standard on most recent years.

In practice, if you want guaranteed heated seats, the SEL, Titanium, or ST trims are the most reliable choices. The SE trim often requires adding a winter package to obtain heated seating.

Package and regional differences

Ford often bundles heated seats with other winter-oriented features, such as heated steering wheels, through optional packages. Availability can also vary by country or region, and features may shift between model years. When shopping, review the build sheet or the dealer’s configuration tool for your specific year and market to confirm whether heated seats are included or require a package.

Edge configurations are subject to change between model years, and some markets may offer different trim names or feature sets. Always check the current Ford brochure or the official Ford website for your region to confirm which trim includes heated front seats as standard or optional and which packages are required.

Summary

For most recent Edge models, heated front seats are standard on the SEL, Titanium, and ST trims, while the SE trim typically requires a package such as a Cold Weather option to add them. If heated seating is a priority, target the SEL or higher trims or verify the exact configuration for your year and region. Always consult the specific build sheet or ask a dealer to confirm current availability before purchasing.

Does the Ford Edge have heated seats?

Yes, the Ford Edge has heated seats, though the feature's availability and scope depend on the model year and trim level. Heated front seats are available on most recent models, and some higher trims also offer heated rear seats and ventilated front seats. 
Availability by model and trim

• Heated Front Seats: Generally available on most recent Ford Edge models, particularly on mid-to-high trim levels like the SEL and Titanium. Some models may have them as a standard feature, while others might have them as an available option.
• Heated Rear Seats: In some higher trims, the option for heated rear seats is available in addition to the front seats.

What's the difference between a Ford Edge SEL and SE?

The main difference is that the Ford Edge SEL is a mid-level trim that includes most SE features plus comfort and convenience upgrades like power-adjustable heated front seats, ActiveX seating material, a power liftgate (often optional on SE), and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The SE is the base trim, which has fewer premium features and manual seat adjustments.
