Gregertech Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) I wanted to start a comprehensive list all of the new features and improvements that were made to the ST as compared to the outgoing Edge Sport. Feel free to list anything I may have missed or more details on what I have listed. Updated, more modern front and rear fascias. Gloss mesh grill (40% more airflow than titanium), LED High & How beams, LED Fog Lamps, Integrated LED DRLs, updated LED tail lights, revised inverted hood (annoying humps on left/right side of old hood are gone). Increased HP and Torque (+20 hp, +30 ft-lb). The quickest ST sold to public so far. New Eight-speed automatic, quicker & smoother off the line acceleration (performance tuned for ST) Intelligent All-Wheel Drive Disconnect Engine Auto Start/Stop Increased real world gas mileage, +2 mpg city/hwy/mixed Performance Brake package, 21" gloss black aluminum wheels, larger front vented rotors and front pistons, red calipers, high friction pads, vented brake shields & Brushless Radiator cooling fan. (package removes spare tire and replaces with flat tire kit) 21" gloss black aluminum wheels are optional without brake package Larger solid sway bars, Monotube shocks in rear, stiffer springs 15% f / 20% r. less body roll without sacrificing ride quality Torque Vectoring Control AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability and Curve Control) Performance tuned suspension Slightly heavier steering feel (adaptive steering removed) New front seats with improved side bolstering, ST logo & stitching Co-pilot 360 (BLIS w/ Cross Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise with stop & go, Lane keeping, Pre-collision assist with automatic braking, Evasive Steering) Thicker leather wrapped steering wheel with white stiching Bang & Olufsen sound system (very noticeable improvement over previous Sony system) Rotary Gear Shifter with Sport button (frees up interior space, easier to use) Wireless charging pad Ford Pass connect with WiFi Hotspot Ford+Alexa use Amazon Alexa from the road Integrated Tow package is standard (factory tow package was not available on previous Sport models) Rear camera washer (seems insignificant but this is awesome, especially if you drive in snowy conditions) Brighter LED rear backup light, improved rear camera visibility at night (prior models were noticeably dim) Interior door handle LED lights change color to red when headlights are on and doors open. (I assume it's to help alert oncoming traffic. did not notice if this was on the sport or not) Edited March 22, 2019 by Gregertech 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge E Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Are there any tests yet where the HP pans out to better performance? It is possible the Sport already had the extra HP/Torque. Drove the MKX before buying the Edge, and there was zero difference on the ass dyno for both 2.7TTs. Would not be the first time a company has done this to "upsell" a more expensive product.

If the transmission was working correctly the ST might have a slight advantage, but currently the ST is probably the same speed if not slower.

Fingernip Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Ford has never claimed the ST was faster in a straight line than the sport. 93 vs 93 with stock tunes the ST MIGHT edge it out but on any sort of autocross track the ST would make the sport look silly.

Actually Ford has never mentioned the ST and Sport at the same time. Nor should they. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregertech Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I noticed a nice feature that I don't think my Sport had. When the front wipers are activated and you shift into reverse the rear wiper will activate to clear the window. The first time or two this happened I thought I may have accidentally activated the rear wiper or left it on. Now I know! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a feature enabled/disabled in the vehicles settings in the left instrument cluster display. Had it on my 2011 MKX and also in the 2016 Sport ?. Edit: Just looked in my 2016 Sport & the menu is not there! But the feature is working. Not sure if it was there & maybe due to ForScan edits it disappeared or not.

My 2016 Focus ST had this feature and so does my mom's MKC and my dad's Escape. It is a handy feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tronjo Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Is it only my imagination or there is a weak back-illumination of the central console buttons cluster even at day light? The letters' visibility is much better compare to my 2016 Sport in which they were not readable at all at some day-lightning conditions.

zinc03svt Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 The 18 plus Gen II 2.7 Ecoboost motor is updated quite a bit from the outgoing 15-17 Gen I 2.7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the F-150 version. Nothing was mentioned regarding the Edge's 2.7. All information indicate it is still the same engine since 2015, except for a slight power increase in 2019 which matches the 2016-2018 MKX. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zinc03svt Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 This old news. All 2019 up 2.7 ecoboosts got the update to the F-150 specs. Lot of improvements for strengthening and durability. Second paragraph if you need help. ;). https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-shows/detroit-auto-show/a14783801/2019-ford-edge-st-specs-info-pictures/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gen 2 version would be a huge selling point and ford completely left that information out of the sales marketing for the ST. So I think the article is miss-leading. I have yet to read anywhere about the gen2 update for the edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2020 Edge ST specifications still show direct injection only. The F-150 EcoBoost specifications shows PFI+DI (Port Fuel Injection + Direct Injection). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL people who can’t admit they’re wrong, They only updated the RWD version, not the Transverse version. You can see it in the torque. The 2nd gen has about 25 more hp than the 1st gen. The 2019 Edge ST has the same power as the 2015-18 sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
