car_truck“The Edge has grown into one of Ford’s most well-rounded family crossovers, delivering confident performance and a cabin that feels a class above its price.” That kind of praise fits this 2017 Ford Edge SEL All-Wheel Drive perfectly, especially in its striking Shadow Black finish. It’s a mid-size SUV that leans into everyday practicality while still giving you a strong V6 engine, an all-weather drivetrain, and a cabin geared toward comfort, clarity, and control.
Under the hood sits a 3.5L V-6 DOHC engine with variable valve control, producing 280 horsepower and running on regular unleaded fuel. Paired with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and steering wheel-mounted shift controls, it offers smooth, predictable power delivery. The automatic full-time all-wheel drive system, combined with AdvanceTrac with RSC electronic stability control and all-speed ABS with driveline traction control, is engineered to help you keep your footing when the weather turns or the road surface changes.
Hill start assist and brake-actuated limited slip functionality add extra confidence on inclines and slippery surfaces.
From the outside, this Edge SEL carries a clean, modern look with body-coloured bumpers and door handles, a metal-look grille with chrome surround, chrome side window trim, and Shadow Black, monotone, non-metallic paint. Projector beam halogen headlights with auto on/off and delay-off, LED brake lights, daytime running lights, and a high-mounted centre stop light enhance visibility and presence. Deep-tinted windows, 18 x 8-inch silver aluminum wheels with P245/60HR18 all-season tires, and a rear lip spoiler round out the purposeful appearance. Practical touches like heated power door mirrors with integrated turn signals, driver/passenger convex spotter mirrors, and a liftgate rear cargo door help in daily use.
Inside, the SEL trim focuses on comfort and usability.
Premium cloth upholstery covers supportive bucket front seats with heating for both driver and passenger. Both front seats are 8-way adjustable, with the driver’s seat adding 2-way power lumbar and extensive power controls for reclining, cushion tilt, fore/aft, and height. The rear offers a split-bench configuration with 60/40 folding capability, manual reclining, and three height-adjustable head restraints, allowing you to balance passenger space with cargo versatility.
The cabin is finished with thoughtful materials: a cloth headliner, full carpeted floor with front and rear mats, and metal-look inserts on the instrument panel and door panels. A leather and metal-look steering wheel and gear shifter, along with piano black and metal-look console accents and chrome interior highlights, create a more upscale feel. Storage is plentiful, including a full floor console with covered storage, mini overhead console with storage, illuminated locking glove box, door bins, seatback pockets, and eight beverage holders.
The cargo area features a carpeted floor, concealed storage, tie-downs, plastic trunk lid trim, and dedicated lighting.
Climate and comfort technology are well covered. Automatic dual-zone front climate control, a cabin air filter, rear under-seat ducts, and rear console ducts help keep all rows comfortable. Convenience features include Intelligent Access with push-button start, keyfob keyless entry with window control, auto-locking doors, power front and second-row windows with one-touch up/down for driver and passenger, cruise control with steering wheel controls, and retained accessory power. An auto-dimming rearview mirror, illuminated entry, variable interior lighting, and fade courtesy lights contribute to a refined everyday experience.
The infotainment and connectivity suite is centered around Ford’s SYNC 3 system with voice-activated audio and SYNC external memory control.
A 4.2-inch primary display, AM/FM/SiriusXM radio, single-disc in-dash CD player (CD-R compatible), Bluetooth handsfree calling, Bluetooth audio streaming, and speed-sensitive volume work through six speakers for clear, convenient entertainment. A 6‑month satellite radio trial subscription and one USB port support your media needs, while an integrated roof antenna keeps the look tidy.
Instrumentation includes an analog cluster with tachometer, trip computer, driver information centre, engine/electric motor temperature gauge, digital clock, compass, and exterior temperature display. Multiple warning systems keep you informed with alerts for low tire pressure, battery charge, oil, fuel, washer fluid, brake fluid, key in vehicle, rear cargo area ajar, service intervals, and oil pressure.
Safety is a core strength here, with eight airbags: dual front impact airbags, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, Safety Canopy System curtain airbags for first and second rows, and driver and passenger knee airbags.
Seatbelt pretensioners for the front, height-adjustable front belts, a rear centre 3‑point belt, and manual rear child safety door locks round out passive safety. Active safety and driver assistance features include four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated rotors front and rear, four-channel ABS, brake assist, electronic parking brake, rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and the 911 Assist emergency SOS system via mobile device. The fully galvanized body with side impact beams, SecuriLock immobilizer, MyKey restricted driving mode/alerts, and perimeter approach lighting further enhance security and peace of mind.
Structurally, this Edge SEL uses independent front and rear suspension with front struts, multi-link rear setup, coil springs, gas-pressurized shocks, and front and rear anti-roll bars tuned for a standard, balanced ride. Electric power-assist rack-and-pinion steering aims to deliver precise, light effort in parking situations while remaining stable on the highway.
Stainless steel dual exhaust with polished tailpipe finishers adds a subtle visual and acoustic touch without sacrificing refinement.
With 172,614 kilometres on the odometer and a fuel-friendly gas powertrain rated at approximately 13.9 L/100 km in the city and 10 L/100 km on the highway, this pre-owned 2017 Ford Edge SEL All-Wheel Drive stands out as a well-equipped, Shadow Black SUV that blends power, comfort, and technology into a confident everyday package.
