DESIGNED TO
MOVE YOU.
Style. Space. Smarts. The 2018 Flex moves you in every way that matters. Its
progressive design combines clean lines and versatility like no other. Flex offers
you spacious seating for up to 7, and convenient technologies1 that can help in
unexpected ways. Your choice of 2 engines can be paired with Intelligent all-wheel
drive (AWD).1 The standard Safety Canopy® System features side-curtain airbags
that deploy to cover all 3 rows, plus you can get 2nd-row outboard inflatable safety
belts.1 And the standard rear view camera helps you maneuver with confidence.
Strikingly unique. Effortlessly cool. Ford Flex.

mpg.5 Twin independent variable camshaft
timing helps this V6 produce 287 horsepower.

PERFORMANCE.
Flex brings safety and technology together with smart standard features like AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
(Roll Stability Control™) and traction control, which provides enhanced stability in a variety of settings.
The system selectively applies individual brakes and modifies engine power to help keep all 4 wheels
firmly planted.1 For enhanced handling and maximized traction, Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD)2
balances torque between the front and rear wheels. If you’re into camping or boating, Flex can help
make the most of your next trip with its 4,500-lb. towing capacity3 and trailer sway control.
