Ford has revealed the 2013 Flex ahead of its debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show next week.
“Flex appeals to people who want to stand out from the crowd and has the highest retention rate of any vehicle in the Ford lineup. With technologies not found in other full-size utilities, even better fuel economy and a more modern, sophisticated look, we’re offering people even more reasons to choose Flex with the new model”, said the president of The Americas, Mark Fields.
Inspired by the Range Rover, the new crossover comes with the new MyFord Touch, rear inflatable seat belts, collision-avoidance technologies, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, first-row heated and cooled seats, power-fold mirrors and an optional new Appearance Package.
The 2013 Flex is equipped by a 3.5-liter V6 Ti-VCT engine with 285 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. The new engine is expected to deliver a 1 mpg improvement in fuel economy to an estimated 18/25 mpg (city/highway). In addition, the Ford Flex will also feature a 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine with 355 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission.
Ford says that the new Appearance Package for the 2013 Ford Flex is available on the Limited and SEL models and it will be offered with a two-tone roof and mirrors, unique door trim panels, 20 inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets, leather seats and other interior upgrades, along with 9 exterior colors are available for the 2013 Flex including Ruby Red, Deep Impact Blue and Kodiak Brown.
The 2013 Ford Flex will be produced at the FoMoCo’s Oakville Assemble Complex in Ontario, Canada.
