2023 Edge Safety

Following the NHTSA's Ford Edge crashworthiness review, the SUV was awarded a five-star overall rating and a four-star rating for the rollover test. The IIHS review of the 2021 model is outstanding: the IIHS was so impressed with the Ford Edge that it awarded it with a Top Safety Pick rating. However, the SUV's headlights were rated only as Acceptable at best.

2023 Edge Key Safety Features

The Ford Edge is one remarkably safe SUV and comes standard with multiple airbags, including dual front knee airbags. Other safety basics include LED headlights, cruise control, a reverse camera, and hill start assist. The big news here is Ford's Co-Pilot 360 technology suite of driver aids. This package includes blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning, and an SOS post-crash alert system. SEL models and up are offered with adaptive cruise control and lane centering, and evasive steering. Other available safety features include enhanced active park assist system with parallel parking, reverse perpendicular parking, and forward and side sensing systems.

2023 Edge Reliability

A handful of recalls have affected the Ford Edge in the past few years, including recalls for the 2021 model for missing bolts on the start/stop accumulator, a malfunctioning rearview camera, and inadequate lubrication in the rear-drive unit. The latter issue also affected the 2021 model and is joined by another one for a misassembled driver's seatbelt. J.D. Power gave the 2020 Ford Edge good ratings with a quality and reliability score of 82; more recent years have not been rated yet.

Ford will cover the Edge with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, corrosion protection for all five of those years regardless of miles covered, and a roadside assistance plan of five years or 60,000 miles.
