2015 Ford Flex

The six- or seven-passenger 2015 Ford Flex, on sale now here at Antelope Valley Ford Lincoln Mazda in Lancaster, California, is a remarkably versatile family hauler that perfectly blends the three-row capacity and cargo room of a minivan with the all-season capability of an SUV. What makes the Flex unique is its sleek and stylish blend of modern design and old-school station wagon flair.
Standard in the Ford Flex is a 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 that sends 287 hp and 254 lb/ft of torque to the front wheels through a six-speed SelectShift Automatic® transmission and returns up to 25 mpg highway; Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available, too. For even more grunt, a twin-turbocharged and direct-injected 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6––paired with Active All-Wheel Drive––generates a whopping 365 hp and 350 lb/ft of torque through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Adding to its versatility, the Flex can tow an impressive 4,500 pounds with either engine.
Unlike a conventional SUV, the Flex has a lower center of gravity for better handling. In addition, thanks to technologies like the available Torque Vectoring Control, the Flex can dynamically balance power distribution during cornering for improved traction, steering response and driver control. Outward visibility is excellent, and a four-wheel independent suspension and unibody construction make long road trips in the Flex a comfortable pleasure.
The Flex interior reflects great attention to detail and offers numerous luxurious conveniences to make those long road trips, and the daily commute, even more enjoyable. An available second-row refrigerated console can chill as many as seven 12-ounce cans to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, with a freeze mode down to 23 degrees.
Also available is the award-winning SYNC® with MyFord Touch® system, which features an eight-inch touch-screen in the center stack and twin 4.2-inch LCD screens in the instrument cluster to give the driver voice and steering-wheel control of audio, climate, navigation and phone functions.
In the entry trim, the Flex SE, standard amenities include heated side mirrors (new for 2015) and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The SEL trim features Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start and SYNC® with MyFord Touch®. The top Limited trim includes standard or available features like 20-inch alloy wheels, a new-for-2015 heated steering wheel, LED taillamps, a navigation system with rearview camera, leather upholstery and a power liftgate.
Unlike some three-row SUVs, the third row in the Flex can comfortably accommodate two six-foot-tall adult passengers. For added cargo space and versatility, the available PowerFold third-row seat folds flat with the push of a button. Second-row captain’s chairs are available, and with both second- and third-row seats folded flat, the Flex offers 83.2 cubic feet of cargo room.
The Flex also offers a long list of available driver assistance features, including Active Park Assist, which uses ultrasonic sensors to automatically steer the vehicle into a parallel parking space; Adaptive Cruise Control; Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support; Blind Spot Information System; and Curve Control. Exclusive inflatable rear safety belts are available to help reduce head, neck and chest injuries for more vulnerable passengers like children and the elderly.
In addition to its unique style, versatility and spaciousness, the Flex is also a smart buy. Intellichoice recently named the Flex a “SmartChoice Maintenance Costs” award winner in the “Full-Size Utility” category, praising its low overall cost of ownership and retained resale value.
These features and many more make the 2015 Ford Flex a top choice for a new family hauler. A remarkable blend of style, performance, versatility, safety, luxury and value make it flexible enough for a wide range of needs and budgets. Stop in for more information about the 2015 Ford Flex today.

Vehicle Profile: 2014 Ford Flex

The 2014 Ford Flex, on sale here at Antelope Valley Ford Lincoln Mazda in Lancaster, California, is an exceptionally spacious crossover that doesn’t force you to play truck driver just to get three rows of seats. The Flex has car-like responses and a lower ride height than most crossovers, making it easy to get the most out of (and into) the Flex.

There are three Flex trims to choose from. The Flex SE (MSRP $29,015) is the square-shouldered champion of its segment. It offers some premium features without hitting you with a luxury-car price tag. There are standard 17-inch alloy wheels, a Reverse Sensing System, automatic headlamps, integrated blind spot mirrors, remote keyless entry, and Ford’s exclusive MyKey™ technology, which allows owners to program keys with set limits on maximum vehicle speed and audio volume, and add reminder chimes that sound at certain speeds, among other features, to help keep inexperienced drivers safe.

The front-wheel drive Flex SE gets power from a 3.5-liter V6 with Twin independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT). This engine puts 287 hp and 254 lb/ft of torque at your command and is paired with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic® transmission with shifter button activation. As roomy and powerful as it is, the Flex still returns an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway with this powertrain, fuel economy more usually available only from smaller, less powerful vehicles.

The Flex SEL (MSRP $31,900) adds standard Ford SYNC® with MyFord®, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats. The interior is accented with San Macassar wood-grain appearance trim on the instrument panel and door panels, and perforated leather upholstery is available to increase the level of luxury. A 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat is standard for the Flex SEL, and you can choose the standard 60/40-split second-row bench seat or the available 40/40 reclining bucket seats. The third row is a 50/50-split bench that folds flat, leaving a lot of room for the stuff of life. You can add the available power liftgate to your Flex SEL, and a multi-panel Vista Roof® for an airy cabin atmosphere.

For all-weather going, the Flex SEL can be equipped with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive. This active system watches for wheel spin and also monitors throttle position and steering angle to give the driver the intended response. Many AWD systems are reactive, transferring power only after wheels have started to slip and compromise safety and stability. The AWD system in the Flex can prevent the slippage from occurring at all.

The Flex Limited (MSRP $37,600) is the most luxuriously-equipped Flex, with standard navigation, 12-speaker 390-watt Sony® audio system, and available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6. The Flex Limited rolls on standard 19-inch painted alloy wheels and carries exterior trim enhancements to give it a refined air. The power liftgate is standard, along with Intelligent Access with push-button starting. The driver’s seat has memory functions for seat position, exterior mirror and adjustable foot pedal positions, and standard ambient lighting sets the mood. Leather seating is standard, and you can also opt for Charcoal Black leather upholstery with gray perforated leather inserts.

The Flex Limited lights the way with standard High Intensity Discharge headlamps paired with standard foglamps. LED taillamps illuminate quickly and burn brightly, helping enhance your visibility to other drivers. The Flex Limited also features chrome door handles and a satin aluminum liftgate panel and front grille.

The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 will satisfy even the most ravenous cravings for power. This turbocharged engine produces 365 hp and 350 lb/ft of torque. It’s useable muscle, too, with peak torque available from just 1,500 rpm to 5,500 rpm. A Class III trailer hitch is available, too, because the Flex can tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. The EcoBoost® V6 is paired with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic® transmission with Paddle Activation, plus the all-wheel drive system to keep torque-steer at bay and get every last measure of horsepower to the pavement.

Flex Limited available features include a PowerFold® third-row seat, second-row console, Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and Active Park Assist. The available Appearance Package adds a black-painted roof and mirror skullcaps, along with 20-inch alloy wheels with painted black pockets.

Every Flex rides on a fully independent suspension that’s responsive and supple. As roomy as it is, the Flex is as easy to drive as your average midsize sedan and it delivers what people need every day in a vehicle. The Ford Flex is aptly named for all its capabilities – it has all the bases covered, and that means driving pleasure and peace of mind as you get on with your busy life.
