2013 ford flex review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Improved, great for family road trips. introductionsubstantially upgraded for 2013, the ford flex is an innovative vehicle, and the only full-size car of its kind. The mazda5, a distant cousin, is the same people-moving type of vehicle in the midsize class, but the larger and smoother flex is in a field of one. And 45 percent of flex owners are women. with standard seating for seven in its 2-3-2 configuration (optional 2-2-2), the flex is all about people. Except when the seats fold flat, as they easily do; then it can be all about cargo. Because flex is not built on a rugged body-on-frame chassis, it's not like an old-school suv. Nor is flex like a van. At first ford called it a crossover utility vehicle, but now ford has decided that the term is unclear, so the latest official word is that it's just a utility vehicle. We'd call it a superb cross between a limo and a taxi. The hood and roof are long and flat, the windshield stands relatively straight, the side and rear glass is flat, and the corners are sharp, although the front end has been rounded a bit for 2013. The shape is honest, simple, and even elegant, for a box. It suggests interior room and maximum space utilization. It has presence and upscale cues that some might call bling. The grille and tailgate have been redone for 2013, with a chrome or satin aluminum band, but frankly we can't say that's an improvement over the old three bars and signature blue oval. there are substantial improvements for 2013. Most notable is a revised v6 that comes standard on the base 2013 flex se and 2013 flex sel: for 2013, the 3. 5-liter v6 engine delivers 25 more horsepower, to 287 hp (with 254 foot-pounds of torque at 4000 rpm), while gaining 1 mile per gallon, to 18 city/25 highway, according to the epa. This boost to the base 3. 5-liter v6 is the result of new twin independent variable camshaft timing, or ti-vct as ford calls it. Ford continues to lead the way among american manufacturers in engine technology. the full-tilt flex limited all-wheel-drive model uses the dazzling twin-turbo 3. 5-liter ecoboost v6 with 365 horsepower and 350 foot-pounds of torque at a super-low 1500 rpm, which gets just 2 mpg less than the base v6, or 16 city/23 highway. But we also got good miles on an easy freeway and around town, and the flex ride is smooth and composed. It's comfortable and doesn't feel firm. The cabin is silent and steady. It's a pleasure to drive. we loved the seamless 6-speed transmission shifting and programming, and the ergonomics of the perfectly designed paddles, on the limited. The 2013 flex interior looks full, spacious, and luxurious. The basics and details are well covered. Materials, plastics, fabrics, leathers and carpets are well matched with textures, and sheen is nicely controlled. The visual impression is upscale comfort and luxury, more lincoln than ford. the cabin is exceptionally quiet, as there's been a lot of work on sound deadening on the new 2013 flex, for example liners in the wheelwells. the 2013 ford flex comes with a new brake system. We used the brakes hard on curvy two-lanes, and we loved the responsiveness and pedal feel. There's also new electronic power steering with a quicker steering ratio. Although the flex is no sports sedan, the cornering is impressive for a vehicle like this, with fairly high limits. however there's more to that than the tightened steering and suspension. For 2013, there's also new torque vectoring and curve control technology. More typically found on high-performance cars, torque vectoring uses the brakes to imitate the effect of a limited-slip differential, balancing torque between the front wheels during cornering, resulting in better grip and reduced understeer. Curve control is like electronic stability control, only quicker; it senses when a vehicle is entering a curve too fast, and applies the brakes to individual wheels to cut the speed by up to 10 mph in one second. Think freeway on-ramps or off-ramps, especially in the wet. if those safety features weren't enough, the 2013 flex is available with the automotive world's first production rear inflatable shoulder belts, designed to offer improved comfort and protection for rear-seat passengers. The advanced restraint system is designed to help reduce head, neck and chest injuries for rear seat passengers, often children and older passengers who can be more vulnerable to such injuries. lineupthe 2013 ford flex comes in three models: flex se, flex sel, flex limited. the front-wheel-drive flex se 30,885) comes with ford's new 3. 5-liter ti-vct v6 engine making 287 horsepower, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual gear selection. Seating is three rows, of two-three-two seats in cloth upholstery, with 6-way power driver's seat. Sel trim adds foglamps, stainless steel exterior trim, power heated mirrors, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, dual zone climate control, 10-way power driver seat and 6-way power passenger seat, myfordtouch electronic controls with 8-inch lcd touch-screen, media hub with usb ports, input jacks, and satellite radio. flex limited fwd 39,230) and limited awd 43,850) get the 3. 6-liter ecoboost twin-turbo v6 making 365 horsepower, and the 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Limited also adds chrome door handles, satin aluminum grille and liftgate trim, hid headlamps, led taillamps, 19-inch painted aluminum wheels, 110v power outlet, adjustable pedals with memory, ambient lighting, woodgrain instrument and door trim, perforated leather-trimmed seats, blis blind spot monitoring system, hd radio, push-button start, power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, rearview camera, remote start, sony 12-speaker audio system, and voice-activated navigation system. Active safety features include torque vectoring control, curve control, anti-lock brakes (abs), advancetrac electronic traction control, rsc roll stability control, brake assist, and electronic brake force distribution (ebd). Optional all-wheel drive can enhance safety in slippery conditions. walkaroundthe ford flex is a stylish box. Some will find the shape honest, simple, and even elegant, for a box. It suggests interior room and maximum space utilization. It has presence and upscale cues that some might call bling. It's not shy. five feet eight inches tall, the flex is higher than a station wagon but lower than an suv like the ford explorer. We wonder if it's an afterthought. We're not sure if it helps or not. These indents must also help stiffen the doors, for a more solid closing sound. what does work is the addition for 2013 of black for the roof (adding to silver or white); too bad the black roof comes with a package that includes 20-inch wheels. We drove a titanium-colored flex with a black roof. Climate Control✔ Anti-lock Brakes✔ Passenger Airbag✔ Remote Start✔ Navigation System✔ Aluminum Wheels
