sajn Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know what is mechanically different in the ST-Line? All that I have seen referenced is a sport tuned suspension. What does that mean? Bigger shocks or sway bars??? Edited August 25, 2023 by sajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 ST-Line is appearance only. No mechanical changes from Active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order guide specifically calls out "Sport Handling Suspension/Tuning" on ST-Line (AWD), ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite. Basically, if you have one of the ST-Line trims, and AWD, you have this suspension. The only reason why it's called out any differently on the base ST-Line (no added word) trim is because the ST-Line 1.5L EcoBoost offers FWD and ST-Line Hybrid is FWD only. Select and Elite are 2.0L EB AWD or Hybrid AWD only. Base, Active, Platinum, PHEV do not list the suspension upgrades. 23 hours ago, sajn said: Does anyone know what is mechanically different in the ST-Line?

Per parts.ford.com, the shocks appear different - note "with handling suspension" vs. "with standard suspension". Not sure what else is different.

sajn Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Thanks for the info! I had a 2020 SE Sport Hybrid, and there is a huge difference in the way that the 2023 (St-Line Select Hybrid AWD) handles and drives. It feels much more solid without affecting ride quality. Also the engine engagement is much smoother. It just seems like a much more refined vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
