Ford adds a 12-inch Touchscreen to the 2021 Edge

The Ford Edge is an old product now, but its receiving some fresh updates for 2021.

Bigger is better, right? Ford definitely thinks so, evident in the fact that they decided to kill off all of their cars in favor of SUVs and trucks. But that’s old news now. What’s new is a standard 12-inch touchscreen in the 2021 Edge. This giant new screen will run Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment system and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus more USB/USB-C connections for good measure.

Pricing for the 2021 Ford Edge hasn’t been announced, but I imagine it’ll be similar to the 2020 model (‘20 MY base price: $31,100). No word if the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus will receive any similar updates. Other changes to the 2021 Edge include a couple new colors and new wheel designs. I find it funny that Ford would make changes like this to a car so late in its product cycle, but it does keep the Edge fresh and more “luxurious-feeling” going against newer rivals such as the Chevy Blazer and Honda Passport.

I’ve already reviewed the current-generation Ford Edge model (when it was called the ‘Sport’ instead of the ‘ST’). Here’s the link so you can read more of my thoughts: https://www.adamsautos.org/2018/09/2018-ford-edge-sport-in-depth-review.html

Update 11/20/20: The 2021 Lincoln Nautilus WILL in fact receive similar updates like the 2021 Edge. Some of its updates include a revised front fascia, a new 13.2-inch touchscreen inside, and Lincoln's "Piano Key" shifter for the interior as well.
