2017 Ford Edge SEL

The 2017 Ford Edge SEL immediately stands out in the tech landscape with its SYNC 3 infotainment system featuring a responsive touchscreen, seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a premium audio experience with 12 speakers.

Tech-forward commuters and families who value constant connectivity and up-to-date driver-assistance features will find the Edge SEL an ideal fit. The locally owned, one-owner, non-smoker history adds peace of mind for buyers in the Sw Mt Vernon, IA area who want reliability alongside modern convenience. Drivers who rely on their smartphones for daily tasks will appreciate how the Edge SEL enables app usage, music streaming, and hands-free texting, creating a digital-friendly driving environment. The dual-zone climate control and heated leather seats also elevate comfort for both driver and passengers.

Performance in the Edge SEL is enhanced by its 3.5L V6 Ti-VCT engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a balance of smooth power and intelligent response. Electronic features like Intelligent Cruise Control and traction control work together to streamline highway driving and manage challenging weather. The all-wheel drive system improves grip and confidence, while features such as speed-sensitive wipers and automatic temperature control demonstrate how digital systems make everyday driving more adaptive and enjoyable. The SUV’s electronic stability and four-wheel independent suspension ensure a responsive, composed ride even in varying conditions.

Safety technology in this SUV is driven by a comprehensive suite of electronic systems. The SYNC 3 911 Assist feature can automatically call for help in emergencies, while the rearview camera provides real-time visual feedback for safer reversing. Rear parking sensors actively detect obstacles and alert the driver, and ABS with electronic stability control constantly monitors for skids or loss of traction. Multiple airbags, including side-impact and knee airbags, are complemented by a perimeter alarm and intelligent cruise that leverages onboard sensors to maintain safe following distances. These smart features work together to actively help prevent accidents before they occur.

Feature highlights include Equipment Group 201A, which brings together luxury and utility: leather-trimmed heated bucket seats, a power liftgate with foot-activated, hands-free access, and a universal garage door opener. The Utility Package adds practical convenience, and the Premium 9 Speaker Audio system ensures rich sound throughout the cabin.

Compared to segment rivals like the Chevrolet Equinox and Nissan Murano, the Edge SEL offers a more advanced infotainment interface and a stronger focus on smartphone integration.

Many buyers ask if the Edge SEL supports wireless CarPlay or Android Auto; it offers seamless, wired integration for both, ensuring quick app access and charging. The vehicle includes intelligent cruise and rear parking sensors, providing robust driver assistance but does not feature lane keeping or adaptive cruise. The SYNC 3 infotainment system stands out against competitors with its user-friendly interface and quick processing.
