With its boxy styling and flat lines, the 2015 Ford Flex is not making any false pretence about space and comfort in today’s crossover utility vehicles.
It’s big for the typical CUVs of today but it’s smaller than an SUV, so much so that it has earned the distinction being regarded as a crossover wagon.
Apart from being spacious and comfortable particularly in the inside, the 2015 Ford Flex has the versatility, unique style, and fuel efficiency to make its own bold statement as one of the better CUVs in its class today.
What’s more, it also has the superb power under its hood to put that proverbial exclamation mark on its bold statement.
The 2015 Ford Flex comes in three different trim levels, the SE, the SEL, and the Limited. It draws strength under the hood from a 3.5-liter Ti-VCT engine for both the SE and the SEL models while the Limited variant has the option of having the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. Regardless of what type of engine is under the hood for the 2015 Ford Flex, it surely packs a mean punch as a crossover wagon.
Unusually big
Despite its seeming large size, the 2015 Ford Flex is very maneuverable and responsive too, handling-wise. As much as it is easy to drive, it is also easy to park. It’s also roomy enough to comfortably accommodate seven passengers including the driver.
It measures 202 inches long with a wheelbase of 118 inches, which is the longest in its class by far. The long wheelbase also gets dividends from the spacious and comfortable interiors that the 2015 Ford Flex exudes.
Interior seats are cozy and the leg room in every direction is similar to a limousine and the only caveat is the scant head room which is not too high enough for people six feet and up.
In terms of infotainment features, the 2015 Ford Flex comes with the standard interior add-ons that Ford vehicles have been known to exude. It has the Audio System from Sony which features 390 watts and 12 premium speakers including a rear subwoofer.
Exterior deviation and emphasis on safety
The 2015 Ford Flex also deviates from the ordinary by being content with linear character lines resulting to its clean and simple shape, yet bold, strong, and upscale.
Truly, it has an exterior that is a cut above the rest. It’s what Ford refers to as an innovative, bold, contemporary and distinctively different design. It’s also punctuated by the wide liftgate to the sculpted front end with bold lettering on the hood that spells Flex, similar to the Rovers in UK.
The 2015 Ford Flex is also high on safety features and these include the rear-view camera, the personal safety system, the front passenger sensing system, the safety cage construction, the safety canopy system, airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, safety belts with belt-minder, child safety door locks, among other innovations.
