![]() EcoBoost includes two turbochargers and direct fuel injection. EcoBoost utilizes advanced turbocharging technology to deliver the fuel efficiency of a smaller engine with the power and performance of a larger engine. The Flex offers a choice of V6 engines: the relatively conventional 3.5-liter Duratec, and the more powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost. ![]() Competitors for the Flex include the Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave, though they are quite different in a variety of ways.įuel economy is an EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg City/Highway for a front-wheel-drive Flex, 16/22 mpg for the base-engine all-wheel-drive model, and that's on Regular 87 octane gasoline. Its passenger-car platform makes it lower and more carlike than the Explorer or Expedition, and thus easier to drive and live with in daily use. The Flex is larger and roomier than the Ford Edge, and its three-row seating allows it to carry more people, and in more comfort. It's built on a passenger-car platform, as opposed to that of a body-on-frame truck, and thus has the basic stance and friendly driving characteristics of a car. The Flex has three rows of seats, with a standard 2-3-2 layout or optional 2-2-2 configuration. It's the modern-day equivalent of what used to be the family station wagon, but no station wagon can match the comfort, utility, capabilities or driving enjoyment of the Flex. The Ford Flex is a full-size crossover utility vehicle that can seat up to seven adults and carry luggage or groceries at the same time.
