FORD Flex 2017: A Versatile and Spacious SUV
When it comes to selecting a family-friendly, versatile SUV, the FORD Flex 2017 stands out from the crowd. With its ample seating capacity, efficient engine options, and stylish design, this vehicle offers a complete package for those seeking a comfortable and reliable transportation solution. In this article, we will delve into the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, as well as the design and handling of the FORD Flex 2017.
Technical Specifications
The FORD Flex 2017 is equipped with a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering an impressive 287 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a six-speed automatic transmission and is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Flex achieves approximately 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway, making it an efficient choice for its size.
Modifications
FORD offers a range of optional modifications to enhance the versatility and convenience of the Flex. These include a Towing Package, which increases the SUV's towing capacity up to 4,500 pounds, allowing you to tow small boats, trailers, or camping equipment with ease. Additionally, the available Appearance Package adds stylish features such as a black roof, 20-inch wheels, and unique exterior accents, elevating the Flex's aesthetic appeal.
Engine Versions
The FORD Flex 2017 is offered with two engine options. The standard engine is the aforementioned 3.5-liter V6, providing ample power for daily commutes and long-distance journeys. For those seeking more performance, there is also an available 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine, known as the EcoBoost. This engine generates an impressive 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an intelligent all-wheel drive system, enhancing the vehicle's handling and acceleration capabilities.
Trim Levels
The FORD Flex 2017 is available in three trim levels: SE, SEL, and Limited. The base SE trim comes with features such as a rearview camera, keyless entry, and a six-speaker audio system. The SEL trim adds upgraded upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a power liftgate. At the top of the range, the Limited trim offers luxury amenities like perforated leather seats, a premium Sony audio system, and a voice-activated navigation system.
Design and Handling
One of the standout features of the FORD Flex 2017 is its distinctive box-like design, which sets it apart from other SUVs on the market. The squared-off shape not only maximizes interior space but also provides a unique and bold aesthetic. The interior offers roomy seating for up to seven passengers and is equipped with an array of convenient features, including an available refrigerated console, perfect for keeping beverages cool during long trips.
In terms of handling, the Flex surprises with its nimble and responsive feel on the road, despite its sizable dimensions. The vehicle's suspension system effectively absorbs bumps and road imperfections, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. The optional all-wheel drive system further enhances stability and traction, allowing for confident driving in various weather conditions.
Key Differences Between Generations
If there were two generations of the FORD Flex produced in 2017, the key differences between them would lie mainly in the design and technology features. The second generation, introduced in 2013, received a refreshed exterior with a bolder front grille and sleeker headlights compared to the first generation, which debuted in 2009. The second generation also incorporated updated infotainment systems, with features such as the SYNC 3 interface, improved connectivity options, and advanced safety technologies like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
Overall, the FORD Flex 2017 stands as an excellent choice for families or anyone looking for a spacious and versatile SUV. Its powerful engine options, numerous modifications, comfortable interior, and eye-catching design make it a standout in the crowded SUV market. Whether you're planning a road trip or navigating daily commutes, the FORD Flex 2017 is a reliable and capable companion.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
