2015 Ford Flex Specs and MPG
The
standard 3.5L V6 engine for the 2015 Ford Flex is outfitted with a
six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, and produces 287
hp and 254 lb-feet of torque. This engine gets 18 mpg city and 25 mpg
highway, which is in line with minivans and SUVs of this size. You can
purchase an optional all-wheel-drive for the SEL and the Limited
vehicles, which changes the fuel economy to 17 mpg city and 23 highway.
The option is available on the Limited to purchase a turbocharged 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine that provides 365 hp and 350 lb-feet of torque. This has a six-speed automatic transmission and is only available with all-wheel drive and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The zero to 60 mph speed is two seconds quicker than the class average at just 6.1 seconds. The tight suspension tuning along with the extra power for this engine gives the Flex a particularly spirited driving experience.
The handling is smooth, with the wheels providing a comfortable and bump-free ride. To make parking easy and ensure stability at high speeds, the Flex has particularly responsive steering for this particular class of vehicle. For those who spring for the tow package, each engine is able to tow up to 4,500 pounds giving you more utility than a minivan would.
A Spacious and Comfortable Interior
In the interior design of the Flex, the emphasis is absolutely on comfort. The materials are soft and cozy, while the design is pleasing to the eye. The roomy interior has plenty of space for the six or seven passengers it's capable of carrying (adding reclining, heated, sliding captain's chairs in the third row reduces the capability from seven to six). The MyFord Touch system comes standard on the SEL and Limited with configurable gauge cluster displays and a pleasingly large main touchscreen; you'll be able to customize your dashboard and technology experience to fit whatever paradigm works for you.
