2014 Ford Flex

CHANGES FOR 2014:

- Engine output numbers updated.

For 2014, the Ford Flex continues on with its unique two-box styling, which was just updated last year. With a solid set of features and availability of two 3.5L engines - normally aspirated and turbocharged - the Flex continues to be one of our top picks for a tall wagon providing a vast amount of cargo space and versatility in seating options.

The Flex is available with a 3.5-litre Ti-VCT V6 engine, or with a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers and direct injection. Both use a six-speed automatic transmission.

The SE, SEL and Limited use the 3.5-litre V6 but only the Limited can be optioned to the EcoBoost. The SE and SEL come in front-wheel drive, while the SEL can be optioned with all-wheel drive. The Limited is all-wheel drive only.
