The 2025 Ford Edge bids farewell: meet its successors

 

The Ford Edge, a staple among midsize SUVs for years, will no longer be produced starting in 2025. Known for its comfort, performance, and modern design, it has won over many drivers across Quebec and beyond. At Solution Ford in Châteauguay, we understand how special this unique vehicle is to many loyal fans. But there’s good news — its successors are already here, and they’re impressive.

For 2025, Ford offers three solid alternatives tailored to various lifestyles: the 2025 Ford Escape, the 2025 Ford Explorer, and the 2025 Mustang Mach-E. Whether you’re looking for versatility, space, or cutting-edge electric innovation, these vehicles deliver strong, modern solutions built for the future.

Why was the Ford Edge so popular?

The Ford Edge struck the perfect balance between practical midsize dimensions, powerful engine options, a bold silhouette, and a high-tech interior. With two rows of seating, available all-wheel drive, and an advanced infotainment system (SYNC 4), it catered to families, commuters, and weekend adventurers alike. The 2024 Edge featured a 2.0L EcoBoost engine (or a twin-turbo V6 in the ST trim), solid handling, and over 1,100 liters of cargo space.

Ford Edge vs. 2025 Ford Escape – compact, versatile, electrified

The 2025 Ford Escape continues its strong momentum with a refreshed, sportier design and an improved powertrain lineup. This compact SUV keeps its strengths: EcoBoost engines, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options to suit a wide range of needs. With available all-wheel drive, it remains a smart choice for Quebec’s year-round conditions.

If you liked the midsize feel of the Ford Edge but want something more compact, agile, and fuel-efficient, the 2025 Escape is an excellent alternative. While slightly smaller than the Edge, the Escape still offers comparable cargo space (around 1,060 liters vs. 1,110 liters for the Edge), and is easier to maneuver in urban environments.

In terms of engines, the Escape has an even more diverse lineup than the Edge: 1.5L or 2.0L EcoBoost, as well as hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions — options the Edge never had. It retains available AWD and a similar towing capacity (up to 3,500 lbs), making it equally ready for outdoor getaways.

On the tech side, the Escape makes no compromises: with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, SYNC 4, and the latest driver-assist technologies, it even outshines the 2024 Edge in modern features. In short, if you loved the Edge for its comfort and connectivity, the Escape brings it all in a more city-friendly, eco-conscious format.

Ford Edge vs. 2025 Ford Explorer – space, power & versatility

The 2025 Ford Explorer remains the go-to choice for those needing more space and power. With three rows of seating, it can accommodate up to seven passengers while offering generous cargo room and premium-level performance.

For fans of the Edge’s generous space and road stability, but wanting to go a step further, the 2025 Explorer is the ideal upgrade. Unlike the Edge’s two rows, the Explorer’s three-row setup is perfect for large families or weekend trips with friends.

Under the hood, the Edge was limited to a 2.0L EcoBoost or twin-turbo V6 in the ST, whereas the Explorer offers more standard power options, including 2.3L EcoBoost, V6, and hybrid engines. Its towing capacity reaches 5,600 lbs, far surpassing the Edge’s 3,500 lbs — great for campers, cottage owners, or professional use.

Tech-wise, the 2025 Explorer delivers a premium experience: SYNC 4, large touchscreens, adaptive cruise control, heated and ventilated seats — all with even more interior space. If you loved the Edge for its practicality and family-friendly nature, you’ll be thrilled with the Explorer’s upscale versatility.

Ford Edge vs. 2025 Mustang Mach-E – electrifying innovation

Ford’s flagship EV, the 2025 Mustang Mach-E, keeps evolving with greater maturity and performance. Still fully electric, it comes in various trims, including Premium, GT Performance, and potentially new variants for the 2025 model year.

The Mustang Mach-E 2025 is a bold leap for Ford Edge fans looking to go electric without sacrificing performance or comfort. Like the Edge, it offers two rows of seating, but with a sleeker, aerodynamic profile and sportier handling — some versions can go from 0 to 100 km/h in under 4 seconds, something even the Edge ST couldn’t match.

Cargo space is slightly smaller (around 840 L vs. 1,110 L), but the lack of an internal combustion engine frees up a front trunk (“frunk”). With a driving range of up to 500 km, you’ll enjoy savings on fuel and maintenance, all while reducing your environmental impact.

In terms of tech, the Mach-E surpasses the Edge with a 15.5-inch vertical touchscreen, the more advanced SYNC 4A system, full wireless connectivity, and even BlueCruise semi-autonomous driving assistance. For former Edge drivers wanting a quiet, high-tech SUV of the future, the Mustang Mach-E is a game-changer.
