2023 Ford Edge SEL: Refined All-Wheel Drive Performance for Northern Michigan

The 2023 Ford Edge SEL is a sophisticated Sport Utility designed to elevate your daily travels through the scenic landscapes of the Grand Traverse region. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, wooded surroundings of Hardwood Acres, where the crisp air meets the morning sun. As you pull out of your driveway, the Edge offers a sense of refined composure that makes even the routine commute feel like a getaway. Whether you are heading into town for a local event or navigating the gently rolling hills near Kingsley, this vehicle provides the perfect balance of size and agility. It is built for those who appreciate a peaceful rural setting but require a vehicle that can handle the changing seasons and diverse terrains of Northern Michigan with absolute confidence.

Turbocharged Precision and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

Under the hood of this 2023 Ford Edge SEL lies an EcoBoost 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring a DOHC, variable valve control, and an intercooled turbocharger. Delivering a robust 250HP, this powertrain is perfectly suited for the varied elevations found around Garfield Township. The engine is paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission featuring Transmission electronic control and Overdrive transmission, ensuring that every shift is seamless whether you are accelerating onto the highway or cruising through rural backroads.

Capability is at the forefront of the Edge experience, thanks to the All-Wheel Drive system and Automatic full-time AWD configuration. This setup provides continuous monitoring of traction, making it an ideal companion for the snowy winters and muddy springs typical of our region. The Four wheel independent suspension, utilizing a Strut front suspension and Multi-link rear suspension, absorbs road imperfections with ease, maintaining a stable and comfortable ride. For those focused on efficiency during longer trips, the Auto stop-start engine technology helps optimize fuel consumption, contributing to an impressive 28 HWY MPG. The Aluminum engine block and cylinder head keep the front end light and responsive, while the Selectable mode transmission allows you to tailor the driving dynamics to the specific conditions of the day.

Seamless Connectivity and Modern Technology

Steering through the local streets is made easier with a suite of advanced technology designed to keep you connected without distraction. The centerpiece of the cabin is the massive 12 inch primary display featuring a Primary monitor touchscreen. This interface hosts SYNC 4 AppLink/Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, allowing you to integrate your smartphones navigation and media effortlessly. For residents in more remote areas like Kingsley, the SYNC 4 voice activated audio controls and Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity ensure you can keep your hands on the wheel while staying in touch with family or managing your playlist.

The driver is greeted by a Digital/analog instrumentation display with a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display, providing vital vehicle information at a glance. Keeping your devices powered is simple with 2 USB ports and a convenient Front wireless smart device charging pad, eliminating the clutter of cords in the center console. The FordPass Connect 4G mobile hotspot internet access ensures that even when you are out exploring the mixed hardwood forests, you remain connected to the digital world. Furthermore, the Steering wheel mounted audio controls and SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition provide a high level of intuitive control over the vehicle's entertainment systems.

Premium Comfort and ActiveX Interior

The interior of the Edge SEL is a sanctuary of modern materials and thoughtful design, featuring Ebony ActiveX Seat Material. This high-end ActiveX leatherette front seat upholstery is not only durable and easy to cleanâ€"perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor lifestyle in Peshawbestownâ€"but also offers a premium look and feel. On chilly Michigan mornings, the Heated front seats and Heated steering wheel provide immediate warmth, while the Dual-zone front climate control and Voice-activated climate control allow both the driver and passenger to set their ideal temperature.

Utility meets luxury with features like the Power Liftgate, which grants easy access to the cargo area after a trip to the local market. The 60-40 folding rear seats with EasyFold fold forward rear seatback technology allow you to expand the cargo space in seconds, accommodating everything from groceries to outdoor gear. Inside, you will find a Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel, Chrome and metal-look interior accents, and Fade interior courtesy lights that create an inviting atmosphere. Practical touches abound, including a 110V/150W AC Power Outlet, 12V power outlets, and Concealed cargo storage under the floor to keep valuables out of sight. Whether you are the driver enjoying the Power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar or a passenger in the Manual reclining rear seats, the Edge ensures a first-class experience for all five occupants.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2023 Ford Edge SEL, which comes equipped with a sophisticated array of protective technologies. The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) forward collision mitigation and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, providing an extra layer of vigilance on busy township roads. When navigating parking lots or tight driveways, the Rear Parking Sensors and Reverse Camera offer clear guidance, while the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert monitor areas that are difficult to see.

The vehicle is engineered with a total of 8 airbags, including Dual front impact airbags, Knee airbags for both the driver and passenger, and the Safety Canopy System curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. For added stability on slippery surfaces, the AdvanceTrac w/Roll Stability Control and Traction control systems work in tandem with the 4-wheel disc brakes and ABS brakes. Additional peace of mind comes from the Lane Keeping Alert system, which helps prevent unintended lane departures, and the Post-Collision Braking system, which can help reduce the severity of a secondary impact.

Exterior Design and Striking Aesthetics

The exterior of this Edge is finished in a stunning Star White tri-coat paint, a color that radiates sophistication and stands out against the natural greenery of Northern Michigan. The design is accented by 18-inch Sparkle Silver-Painted Aluminum wheels and a Metal-look grille with chrome surround, giving the vehicle a modern and upscale presence. Functional exterior features include LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights, ensuring maximum visibility during evening drives through the rolling terrain.

The aerodynamic profile is enhanced by a Rear lip spoiler and Active grille shutters, which help manage airflow for better efficiency. Practicality is maintained with Heated driver and passenger side door mirrors, which quickly clear frost or fog, and Deep tinted windows that provide privacy and reduce solar heat inside the cabin. The Body-colored front and rear bumpers and Black bodyside cladding provide a cohesive look while offering protection against road debris. Every detail, from the Chrome side window trim to the Body-colored door handles, has been carefully selected to create a Sport Utility that is as beautiful as it is functional.
