What is a Ford Flex?

As Ford’s fresh and modern take on the traditional station wagon, the Flex has a unique look, spacious interior, and intuitive amenities that make getting everybody from one place to the next a whole lot easier. Here’s everything you should know about the Ford Flex.

What features does the Ford Flex offer?

While the Ford Flex looks like an SUV, it’s actually closer to the ground and drives more like a car than a heavy crossover. According to Ford Flex reviews, it also offers several other features and specs that make it stand out from the crowd.

Ford Flex engine and handling

A 2019 Ford Flex features an EcoBoost V6, 3.5-liter base engine with an impressive 287 horsepower at 6,500 rpm that can handle front-wheel or all-wheel drive. However, the Ford Flex Limited trim ramps up the horsepower to 365 with standard all-wheel drive.

Ford Flex interior and technology

The Ford Flex’s interior is roomy and adaptable, with a seating capacity for up to seven people. You’ll get ample head and leg room that’s perfect for hauling your growing family around town. The Flex also boasts impressive cargo space that allows you to easily load it up with the dogs, sports equipment, luggage, groceries, and anything else you need.

There are also several features and upgrades available on the Flex, including:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Forward-collision warning
• 12-speaker Sony audio system
• Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system

Ford Flex exterior and design

The Ford Flex has a fun, retro design that gives it a boxy yet innovative look. According to MotorTrend, Ford brought on designers with a background in fashion to help create the unique look of the Flex. With several trim levels available, you may also have the option of these upgrades:

• 18-inch wheels
• Chrome-plated side mirrors
• Chrome-plated door handles
• Blacked-out headlights and tail lights
• 3-bar grille with logo
• Dual panel moonroof

How much is a Ford Flex?

The price of a Ford Flex will depend on the model year and trim level you purchase. The base SE model of the Ford Flex is the most affordable option, with luxury standard features that are sure to impress. You can also choose a mid-level SEL or top-level Limited Ford Flex for added features, upgrades, and top-of-the-line amenities. An additional sports appearance package was also available on the SEL and Limited trim levels for people who wanted a two-toned interior, glossy black exterior touches, and twenty-inch wheels. These upgrades and trim levels will affect the price of the vehicle.

Because the Ford Flex was discontinued, 2019 is the latest model you will find on the market. A pre-owned Ford Flex can range anywhere from $12,000 to $40,000. Edmunds lists the MSRP of the 2019 Ford Flex SEL (the most popular model) as $33,290 as of early 2023.

Where is Ford Flex made?

The Ford Flex is designed and manufactured by the Ford Motor Company, which is based in Dearborn, Michigan. However, most of the assembly of these vehicles was done at the Oakville Assembly in Ontario, Canada. Between the years of 2008 and 2019, when production was still in full swing, all Ford Flex models were produced at Ford’s Oakville manufacturing plant.

How many gallons does a Ford Flex hold?

The Ford Flex gas tank can hold 18.6 gallons of regular gasoline. Despite its weight and size, the Ford Flex is relatively fuel-efficient. As shared by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Flex’s V6 engine gets 16 city MPG and 23 highway MPG for a combined 19 MPG. A full tank of gas has a total range of about 353 miles.

Where can I find a Ford Flex for sale?

The Ford Flex was discontinued in 2019 to make room for the production of crossover sport utility vehicles. However, the Ford Flex remains a popular resale vehicle that holds value and provides optimal performance and timeless style.
