2011 Ford Flex SUV
-
MSRP $29,355
The Ford Flex is a 7-passenger family wagon with an unmistakable profile. Now in its third year of production,the Ford Flex sees few changes for 2011,but a new trim level has been added at the high end,and new colors have been introduced.
Standard equipment on the basic 2011 Ford Flex SE trim includes 17-inch wheels,automatic climate control,cruise control,automatic headlights,a full range of power accessories,rear parking sensors,fog lamps,keyless entry with exterior access code pad,and a 6-speaker sound system. The Flex SEL trim level features 18-inch wheels,dual-zone climate control,the Sync interface system,upgraded sound system with satellite radio,heated front seats,plus a Convenience package that adds a power tailgate and other amenities. The top-level Flex Limited includes the Convenience features as standard,and steps up to 19-inch wheels,perforated leather upholstery,and much more. Finally,the new Flex Titanium trim provides 20-inch chrome wheels and various styling upgrades,including microfiber suede seat inserts.
The 2011 Ford Flex?s standard power plant is a 262-horsepower,3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 248 lb.-ft. of torque. It comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive,with all-wheel drive (AWD) optional. On the Flex SEL and Limited trims,a turbocharged V-6 engine is available: the same displacement as the standard engine,but with 355 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. It works with AWD and a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. EPA fuel-economy estimates for both engines are 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
Standard safety features on the 2011 Ford Flex include anti-lock disc brakes,stability and traction control,front side air bags,and side curtain air bags. A rearview camera is optional. In government crash tests,the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Flex 5 (out of 5) stars in frontal- and side-impact tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2011 Flex highest-possible ?Good? ratings in all of its crash tests.
The 2011 Ford Flex had an MSRP starting at around $29,355.
