2023 Ford Edge SEL: Sophisticated All-Wheel Drive Performance for Central Illinois
The 2023 Ford Edge SEL arrives in a stunning Agate Black Metallic, offering a perfect blend of modern sophistication and rugged capability that feels right at home on the streets of Charleston, IL. Whether you are navigating the historic downtown square or heading out for a weekend of relaxation, this SUV provides the poise and presence you need. Residents in nearby Paris, IL will appreciate how the Edge transitions seamlessly from professional commutes to weekend adventures, offering a refined driving experience that doesn't compromise on utility. This is a vehicle designed for those who value a quiet, confident ride while maintaining the versatility required for a busy Midwestern lifestyle.
Turbocharged Performance and All-Wheel Drive Confidence
Under the hood, the 2023 Ford Edge SEL is powered by a precision-engineered EcoBoost 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This intercooled turbo powerplant delivers a robust 250HP, providing plenty of pep for merging onto the highway or navigating the gently rolling terrain around Effingham, IL. The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission featuring Overdrive and Selectable mode transmission, allowing you to tailor the driving dynamics to the road conditions.
The All Wheel Drive system is a standout feature for Illinois drivers, utilizing Automatic full-time AWD and Torque Vectoring Control to maintain traction during unpredictable weather. The mechanical foundation is built for comfort, utilizing an Independent front suspension with struts and a Multi-link rear suspension. Combined with Gas-pressurized shock absorbers and Front and rear anti-roll bars, the Edge delivers a stable, car-like ride that absorbs road imperfections with ease. Efficiency is also a priority, with Auto stop-start engine technology and Active grille shutters helping to achieve an EPA-estimated 28 highway MPG, making those longer trips across the county more economical.
Advanced SYNC 4 Technology and Seamless Connectivity
Staying connected is effortless thanks to the sophisticated SYNC 4 system, which serves as the digital heart of the cabin. The interior features a massive 12 inch primary display with a user-friendly touchscreen interface. With SYNC 4 AppLink/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, your favorite navigation apps and playlists are always at your fingertips without the clutter of cables. The tech suite is further enhanced by Connected Navigation, ensuring you find the most efficient routes through the regional hubs of central Illinois.
The driver is treated to a Digital/analog instrumentation display with dual 4.20-inch cluster screens, providing vital vehicle information at a glance. For those who prioritize a clutter-free environment, the Front wireless smart device charging pad is a welcome addition. Passengers can stay powered up via 2 USB ports and a convenient 1 interior 120V AC power outlet. Whether you are using the SYNC 4 voice activated audio controls or the Steering wheel mounted audio controls, managing your environment is safe and intuitive.
Premium Comfort and a Versatile Interior
The cabin of the Edge SEL is finished in sophisticated Ebony with ActiveX leatherette front seat upholstery, providing a durable yet premium feel. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy Heated front seats, and the drivers seat is equipped with 2-way power lumbar and 6-way directional controls for personalized comfort. The inclusion of a Heated Steering Wheel and Dual-zone front climate control ensures that both you and your passenger stay comfortable regardless of the season in Arcola, IL.
Utility is built into the design with 60-40 folding rear seats featuring the EasyFold fold forward mechanism, allowing you to expand the cargo area in seconds. Accessing that space is simple with the Power liftgate rear cargo door, which can be operated via the Keyfob trunk control. Throughout the cabin, you will find thoughtful touches like Chrome and metal-look interior accents, a Leather steering wheel, and Fade interior courtesy lights. With a Seating capacity of 5 and ample Rear under seat climate control ducts, every occupant enjoys a first-class experience.
Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the 2023 Ford Edge SEL, which comes equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies. This includes BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert, providing an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of busy parking spots. For highway driving, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Keeping Alert work together to reduce driver fatigue.
The vehicle is also prepared for the unexpected with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) forward collision mitigation and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection. In the event of an incident, the Post-Collision Braking system helps prevent secondary impacts. Protection is comprehensive, featuring 8 airbags, including Driver and passenger side knee airbags and the Safety Canopy System for overhead protection. The Reverse Camera and Rear parking sensors make navigating tight spaces simple and stress-free.
Agate Black Metallic Exterior Design
The exterior of the Edge SEL is defined by its clean lines and modern aesthetic. The Agate Black Metallic paint is complemented by a Metal-look grille with chrome surround and 18 x 8-inch silver aluminum wheels. Practicality meets style with Heated driver and passenger side door mirrors and Deep tinted windows that provide privacy and heat reduction.
Visibility is exceptional thanks to LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights. The Autolamp auto on/off headlight control and Auto High Beam headlights ensure the road is always properly illuminated without blinding oncoming traffic. Small details, like the Rear lip spoiler and Body-colored door handles, give the Edge a cohesive and premium appearance that stands out in any setting.
