The Edge ST replaces the Edge Sport in the lineup. Compared to the outgoing Edge Sport, Ford says that 75 percent of the parts are unique to the ST.

Like the rest of the 2018 Edge lineup, an eight-speed automatic transmission gets bolted to the engine. On the ST, the gearbox gains an additional cooler and specific shift tuning.

Brakes are also improved on base ST models with bigger rotors and two-piston front calipers. An optional ST performance brake package is also available for even more stopping power thanks to a specific master cylinder, front rotors and performance brake pads.
