The Ford Authority Take
Ford Edge sales have maintained a positive trend for the past year, placing third this time around, while its bigger sibling, the Ford Explorer, moved into the top spot. Consequently, The Blue Oval took two of the top three spots in a competitive field of 23 entries.
This is in spite of the Edge having been discontinued after the 2024 model year, with production ending in late April at the Oakville Assembly plant in Canada. This is due to a deal with Unifor that put forth a timeline for EV retooling at the plant, meaning that continuing Edge production wasn’t possible going forward.
However, as we’ve previously reported, the Edge will likely be replaced with an EV in the future, although the timetable for such a change has not yet been revealed.
About Ford Edge
As a reminder, the 2024 Ford Edge was completely unchanged for its final year as it gets sent out to pasture, though the future of the nameplate remains unknown.
Nevertheless, accolades continue to roll in. The Ford Edge is among the best midsize SUVs and five-year-old used cars for the money while being among the best American vehicles for 2024 and most reliable and fuel-efficient SUVs.

- In the United States, there were 76 selling days for Q1 2024 and 75 selling days for Q1 2023
Comments
I would really like to know what Ford leadership is thinking about discontinuing Edge now. It was so short-sighted.
Agreed! Instead of cancelling it, they should be adding a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid!
Extending the Edge to 2027 or 2028 including a hybrid option makes sense! Why close the Edge plant for two years when it is producing a popular model that fits consumer demand? The rush to EVs was a huge mistake.
Agree! They should work on updating it and keep making it as they did with the Lincoln Nautilus. Unifor could tell them to move the Nautilus production to Oakville from China and update the ICE Edge or we strike every plant!
Ford is consistently shortsighted. They discontinued the Fusion which was one of the best mid sized sedans. All they needed was a little updating of the electronics. I will never buy an SUV or EV. Bye Ford.
Wonderful time to be dropping their hottest seller. What great leadership Ford has!
This company is run by idiots! Recalls galore and dropping one of their best selling vehicles to build a now delayed electric vehicle! Wake up Ford Family, and get some real leadership!
I currently own and have owned only Fords, and I have been fortunate to not have any serious problems, but I am not happy with where this company appears to be heading…
Very dumb decision, they should have made them hybrids with a redesign. Of course they do it in China.
Probably discontinued the Edge so those dollars can be filtered toward more special edition Mustangs we don’t want or need.
I bought a 2024 Edge ST line last August to replace my 2005 Ford 500 (excellent car BTW) and have not been disappointed. To the workers at Ford Oakville I hope Ford looks after you guys, it has to be very concerning times for you right now with the EV market as it is. Would have been wise if Ford continued the Edge production longer or moved the upgraded model with a hybrid option to Oakville.
Seems like Farley is really out of step with the market. Listens too much to the government, expecting people will have to buy EVs instead of reading the consumer market. Time for a change before he buries the company. Lack of quality and reliability in addition to wrong products.
My wife traded a 2018 Edge Titanium for a 2024 Edge ST a few months ago. It was on order since Sep. 4, 2023 and the dealer finally found one at another dealer for us. We bought it because we loved the Edge and wanted a new one before they discontinued the Edge. The ST is FUN!
I own an edge ST. I love this vehicle! What a disappointment to find out it will go total EV. There is not enough setup or planning for all of these EV models yet. Just as I found my new favorite Ford I guess I will be shopping at the competition for my next vehicle. Yay Ford, way to loose another happy customer with- there is no other way to word this but a dumb ass mistake! Bye- bye.
I don’t know how. We wanted to take advantage of the 0% offer from Ford, but the local dealerships here in Honolulu were giving us $13-15k under retail on our trade and marking up standard Edge SELs $10k….
