A 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, comes standard. There's also an optional turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 available for the Limited trim that generates a robust 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard while all-wheel drive is available for higher trims. The Flex comes equipped with key safety features such as a rearview camera, parking sensors, and Ford's MyKey system, which allows parents to set speed and volume limits for young drivers. The infotainment system includes a 4.2-inch display, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a six-speaker audio system, with available upgrades including an 8-inch touch screen, navigation, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility.
