Ford wants to reinvent how you haul your family around. They think what you need is a roomy, easy to drive, 7 passenger, crossover. What they have come up with is the Ford Flex.
Powered by a 3.5-liter 265hp V6, the Flex has got all the motivation it needs to briskly haul it’s over two tons of body mass. A six-speed automatic transmission adds to the refined feel of the powertrain. Also, optional on top of the line models is an advanced all-wheel-drive system.
Styling is somewhat intriguing. While it’s obvious that there is inspiration from Ford’s golden years, this boxy family car has all the details of a futuristic vehicle. It’s two-tone color scheme lets the car stand out, and the way the roof is painted in a contrasting color really adds an air of bespoke design to the otherwise suburban family cruiser.
Things in the interior echo the outside where quality is felt and perceived all throughout the cabin. This is one well put together interior, at least for a Ford. In fact, this just might be the most impressive display of what Ford is storing for the future.
