The Interior

The 2009 Ford Flex is a seven-passenger CUV with adjustable and removable rear seats, allowing for plenty of storage room. There are many available options including Ford’s new voice-activated communications and entertainment system, Ford-Sync. There is also an option to have an interior mini-refrigerator in the middle console. There is a Vista roof for skylight, and programmable interior mood-lighting, giving your drive a sense of style, whether in Cincinnati, New York, or anywhere.

Safety

The Flex comes standard with Ford’s AdvanceTrac traction control system which assists driver control in times of emergency, even going as far as preventing rolls. There is also the option of all-wheel-drive, and a backup camera, which ties into the navigation system.

Powertrain

The 2009 Ford Flex comes standard with a 3.5 L V6 engine capable of up to 262 horsepower, paired with a 6 Speed 6F Automatic Transmission, allowing towing of up to 4,500 pounds.

Reviews seem to be generally positive among the press. Many praise Ford’s bold  and high quality design choice, and are pleased with the available Ford Sync. Yet  many also criticize it’s limited cargo space in comparison to other crossovers, and raise issues about the steering wheel not telescoping. Overall this proves as another solid Ford design, and we should be seeing more of it in future years.
