It’s tough to choose a singular word to describe the Flex. It’s certainly not a car, but it is car-like. And it’s not a truck, but it has some truck-like qualities as well. And as we’ve said, it doesn’t look at all like any other SUV or crossover, so… in the end, its best to simply call it what it is… a Ford Flex.

With three rows of seating, Flex provides standard seven-passenger seating capacity, plus available amenities such as the one-touch PowerFold® and tumble third-row seat. And just as Flex is big on interior room for passengers and cargo, it is also big on comfort and convenience. the available Multi-Panel Vista Roof® allows every passenger to bask in plenty of natural lighting. The Vista Roof® features four skylights covering all three rows of seats. A power moonroof covers the first row, the second row features two ample skylights and the third row offers a single large skylight. It also includes power sunshades.

The available heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front seats, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, available power-adjustable pedals, power tilt/telescoping steering column and available heated power-folding mirrors all add up to a more comfortable driving experience.

Under the hood, an available 3.5L EcoBoost is rated at 15.7L/100 km (18 mpg) city, 11.2L/100 km (25 mpg) highway, and 13.7L/100 km (21 mpg) combined. When teamed up with the traction and handling of Intelligent all-wheel drive, the EcoBoost generates 365 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque.

Intelligent AWD sensors balance torque between the front and rear wheels to enhance handling and maximize traction, typically before wheel slip can even occur. This helps keep the vehicle sure-footed in a variety of less than ideal conditions – Canadian winter, anyone?

Ford Flex also offers considerable storage space. Simply fold the third-row seats flat for 1,223 litres (43.2 cu. ft.) of room. Fold the second-row seats flat for a total of 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft.). There are also 10 cup and bottle holders.

When in reverse, the standard rearview camera automatically displays the image of what’s behind your vehicle on the available 8-inch centre stack screen. For added convenience, 2018 Ford Flex offers an available power liftgate. Press a button on the key fob or inside the cabin and the available power liftgate opens or closes.

Flex offers a range of innovative technologies like standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™ ) and available Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD). SYNC® comes standard and SYNC 3 is available. An available Audio System from Sony® provides the perfect soundtrack, along with available SiriusXM, which offers over 120 channels of commercial-free music. Connect to and control your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

So, if you’re the type that likes to stand out in the crowd, call to arrange a test drive. Your 2018 Ford Flex will be easy to find in any parking lot.
