Starting Price
With no changes for the 2023 model year, the current Edge has the same MSRP as the 2022 model: $37,945. What does this mean for you? Well, if you happen to find a brand new 2022 Edge lingering at your local dealership, you can count on having all of the latest features. And if you would prefer a newer version of the Edge, you can do so at no extra cost (compared to the previous model year)!
But do keep in mind that the MSRP is just the entry-level price. When you move up the Edge’s trim models or add features and packages, the price may rise.
Trim Levels and Features

Sporty Power
These Edge model years are available with the same engine options! Most trim models (SE, SEL, ST-Line, and Titanium) feature the turbocharged, 250-horsepower base engine. You’ll be impressed by how well it keeps up with traffic — or even zooms past it.
Speaking of zooming, the Edge ST models come standard with the turbocharged V6. Not only do they deliver more power, but they’re also the only Edges equipped with a sport-tuned suspension. You can add the ST Performance Brake Package to boost performance with larger brakes, an upgraded cooling system, and summer tires.
