2014 Ford Flex Crossover EcoBoost Car Review

Ford's latest offering to the SUV market is a full-sized sports utility vehicle that is unsurpassed in style, comfort, and performance. The 2014 Ford Flex is the king of the road, an SUV packed with features and utility with a driving experience that is exhilarating.

 

King of the Roads

 

The 2014 Ford Flex is a full-sized SUV with a comfortable interior. The car has a sporty design with spacious seating and cargo area. What sets the Flex apart is its wide construction with square windows and flat bonnet. The 2014 Flex is a four-door SUV with dual exhaust and a power lift gate for the premium trim. Heated power door mirrors are a nifty add-on to exterior features of the 2014 Flex. This SUV is an ideal adventure vehicle as the roof is wide enough to fit a rack for equipment like your bicycle or surfboard. The Flex scores highly for style points and has a unique look that will turn heads.

Royal Interior

 

The interior of the 2014 Flex is extremely roomy; the overall concept of this SUV screams space. This SUV is a four-door that seats six to seven passengers comfortably in three rows of seating. The inflatable seat belts are a safety feature that makes this a secure family vehicle. The back seats are adjustable, adding even more room to the already existing expansive cargo space. The Flex is sprinkled with a generous helping of dashboard and convenience features. Enjoy an advanced driving experience with distance pace cruise control for long drives. The integrated navigation system is easy to use and mounted at a convenient-to-watch location on the dashboard. Other standard interior features include powerful air conditioning with temperature control, power moon roof for ventilation, telescopic steering wheel, and tilt away steering wheel. The seats of the Flex are designed for comfort, using handsome materials and the highest quality memory foam.  The interior has a number of utility compartments for holding small items like a cell phone or flashlight and also features a number of beverage holders.

A downside of the Flex is that this SUV, like most others, is not economical when it comes to mileage. The  2014 Ford Flex delivers a mileage of 16 to 18 miles per gallon on city roads and 23 to 25 miles per gallon when driving on the highway. However, the mileage of the Flex is understandable when considering the torque and performance it delivers.

Unsurpassed Performance Features

 

The 2014 Ford Flex is powered by a roaring 287-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 (regular gas) engine. The SUV is easy to switch into 4wd and exhibits complete off-road capabilities. Power steering is an added feature that makes driving this SUV a pleasure. However, handling can be stiff because of the vehicle's bulky size, and tight cornering is not always possible. The 2014 Ford Flex is available with a choice of V6 engine and turbo V6 engine. This SUV is available in three trims: SE, SEL, and limited, all of which vary in drive and interior features. The difference in pricing of the three trims is approximately $9,000.
