2019 Ford Flex

Pros: Robust acceleration with available EcoBoost engine; Impressive passenger and cargo room, especially in the 3rd row

Cons: Middling fuel economy; polarizing styling; prices get steep on higher-end models

CG Says: The 2019 Ford Flex is unchanged. Ford Flex is a midsize crossover SUV with three rows of seats that can seat up to seven passengers. The base engine is a 3.5-liter V6 with 287 horsepower. A 365-hp turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 is available. Both engines are paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on all trims except base SE. Available features include adaptive cruise control, collision warning and mitigation, heated/cooled front seats, blind-spot alert, and park assist. A spacious interior and generous cargo hold are some of this crossover SUV’s best features. We also like Flex’s refined nature and good handling. A downside is that some desirable features are only offered on the most expensive models. While Flex’s boxy styling may not appeal to everyone, this large, comfortable people mover deserves consideration.
