Ford’s newest hot crossover will start at $43,350 with destination according to [*CarsDirect*](). That’s a $1,585 increase over the 2018 Ford Edge Sport. To recap, the [2019 Ford Edge ST]() is both a performance upgrade and a cosmetic makeover for Ford’s mid-size crossover, which gets a facelift across the board for 2019. It’s powered by a 2.7-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 engine good for 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, a 20 hp and 30 lb-ft boost over the outgoing Edge Sport. Aesthetic upgrades include a gaping maw of a grille not unlike the Focus and Fiesta ST, sporty seats, special 20-inch wheels, and dual exhaust. Further mechanical upgrades for the ST include standard all-wheel drive, sport-tuned suspension, and, of course, sport mode. Sorry, but the only transmission option is an eight-speed automatic. So it starts at $43,350, but how high can it go? According to analysis from *CarsDirect*, you’ll be able to pay as much as about $52,000 for a fully-loaded Ford Edge ST. One of the additional packages is the Performance Brake Package for $2,695, which is exactly what it sounds like, along with 21-inch gloss black wheels with summer tires. However, *CarsDirect* says that in order to get those good brakes and tires, you first need to upgrade to Equipment Group 401A which will set you back $5,585 bringing the grand total pretty close to $52k. The package gets you some nice features like heated and cooled front seats, a panoramic sunroof, navigation, [Co-Pilot360]() Assist+ safety tech, enhanced park assist, and Ford’s trick hands-free power liftgate. Going over the $50k mark sounds like steep territory for a Ford crossover, but it’s not too bad considering what you’re getting. Pricing for the Ford Edge ST puts it in the same ballpark as the [Acura RDX A-Spec]() and it’s around $10,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped Audi SQ5. If you want a [performance crossover]() without paying the premium of a luxury car brand, the Edge ST could be the worth a look when it hits dealer lots later this year. ### Author social links [Twitter]()
