As an amalgamation of a wagon and an SUV, the 2016 Ford Flex is a full-size crossover that completely defies convention. Whereas most others are carbon copies of one another, the Flex forges forward, insistent on creating its own lane.
So, with that in mind, we ask that you now turn your attention to the video below. Team up with Autotrader personality, Jabari Jones, as he delineates some of the Flex's many winning qualities:
While we've little doubt the Flex's 287-horsepower entry-level engine will meet the needs of most motorists, we also recognize that others will want something that boasts a bit more brawn.
Enter: the EcoBoost engine upgrade.
An option with the range-topping Limited model, this turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 generates a goliath 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive -- complete with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters -- is standard.
Better still, the EcoBoost is also capable of putting down the 0-to-60 mph dash in just 6.2 seconds, a clocking that puts the Flex right near the tippy-top of the full-size crossover class.
