It moves you. Even when it’s parked.
Its bold presence is a wakeup call to your senses. Beginning with the unmistakable chrome grille that continues its linear design around Flex in the form of four distinctive grooves. The all-black greenhouse design with privacy glass seamlessly ties the body together with the roof, but it’s the available two-tone top that gives you the option to reflect some personal style. Want an Ingot Silver roof with a Tuxedo Black body? Well then, you’ve got good taste.
Bold StyleNo, it's not the kind of futuristic concept vehicle you might see at a major auto show. But with its advanced, forward- thinking style and design, it might just as well be. It's the Flex crossover from Ford.
Grooved Door Panels
The four deep grooves on the bodysides are like character lines, setting the tone for the clean, linear look and feel that sets Flex apart.
Wheel Sizes and Styles
Flex comes with 17” painted aluminum wheels on the SE model, 18” machined aluminum wheels on SEL, 19” polished aluminum wheels on Limited, and 20” painted Luster Nickel wheels on the new Titanium model.* Stylish 20” bright painted aluminum wheels are also available on SEL and Limited. They're all designed to deliver a smooth, comfortable ride, and confident handling capability.
The clean, linear look and feel of Flex begins, fittingly, up front with the signature Ford 3-bar chrome grille and carries through to virtually every facet of its bold, innovative design. A black chrome grille with unique badging distinguishes the Titanium model.*
Two-Tone Roof Option
Select the two-tone roof option and go for a customized look. Choose White Suede or striking Ingot Silver. The Titanium model roof is Tuxedo Black.* Go ahead and pick one. It's perfectly okay to stand out from the ordinary crowd.
Flowing Design
The “greenhouse” is a term automotive designers have used to refer to a vehicle’s windows, the vertical pillars separating them, and the roof. The unique all-black Flex greenhouse, with privacy glass on the 2nd- and 3rd-row windows and liftgate, seamlessly ties together the body and roof, an effect that is all the more striking with the available two-tone roof.
New Titanium Model
Start with the exceptional luxury and comfort of Flex Limited. Add striking interior styling touches like • Alloy Metallic
accents on the center stack, steering wheel and door bezels • Circle check appliqués on the instrument panel and
door panels • Illuminated scuff plates • Steering wheel with perforated leather insert and • Charcoal Black leather-
trimmed seats with Gray Alcantara® suede inserts. Exterior features include: • P225/45R20 all-season tires on 20”
polished aluminum wheels • Unique black chrome finish grille with the Flex badge on the leading edge of the hood
• Black fog lamp bezels • Headlamps and taillamps with unique blackout treatment • Black chrome liftgate appliqué
• Body-colored door handles • Black belt-line molding and mirror skull caps • Tuxedo Black painted roof. Available
colors are Red Candy Metallic Tinted, White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat, Tuxedo Black Metallic, or Ingot Silver
Metallic. Voila! You have the new Titanium, the latest Flex creation.
Spacious Seating for Seven
Every Flex comes standard with 1st-row bucket seats, 2nd-row 60/40 split bench seat and 3rd-row 50/50 split bench seat for 7-passenger seating. Or go with a 6-passenger arrangement by choosing the optional 2nd-row 40/40 bucket seats, which offer an available center console with storage.* What's most amazing about Flex isn't the number of passengers it can accommodate. It’s the amazing amount of seating room, with best-in-class* legroom for 2nd-row as well as 3rd-row passengers, and sense of open space it provides.
New PowerFold™ 3rd-Row Seat with Tailgate Feature
Flex comes standard with a fold-flat 3rd-row bench seat. With the available PowerFold™ 3rd-row seat, you can control all that flipping and folding with a touch of a button. With full power assist, this rear seat can slip easily into three useful configurations. (1) For full 7-passenger seating, keep the seat backs in their normal upright position. (2) When you need extra space for cargo, lower the seat backs at the simple touch of a button for a flat load floor. (3) And, with the handy new tailgate feature, you can convert the third-row seat to a rear-facing one for recreational use at a picnic or sporting event with the same simple touch of a button.
Multi-Panel Vista Roof™
If you're the kind of person who just can't get enough natural light, the available multi-panel Vista Roof™ will definitely be on your list of must-have features. The Vista Roof™ consists of four skylights covering all three rows of occupants. A power moonroof sits over the 1st row. The 2nd row has two openings. And a larger single skylight is over the 3rd row.
Refrigerated 2nd-Row Console
If you go with the available 2nd-row 40/40 bucket seats, you can also get the optional 2nd-row refrigerated console. Unlike systems that just keep beverages cool, the compressor-driven unit in Flex can chill up to seven 12-oz. cans, four half-liter bottles or two 20-oz. bottles down to 41°F. There's also a freeze mode that'll go down to 23°F. Available on Limited and Titanium models.*
Cargo & Storage
Flex provides a lot of places to put your things. A 1st-row console with storage. Integrated 1st- and 2nd-row door storage pockets. Map pockets behind the 1st-row seats. 3rd-row storage in the armrests. A large, lockable glove box. Ten cup and bottle holders as well. What's more, the optional 2nd-row 40/40 bucket seats offer an available center console with storage in the SEL, Limited and Titanium models.* Look around the inside of a Flex — yes, Ford designers thought of just about everything.
Road Noise Buster
Our engineers put Flex through extensive wind tunnel testing — with wind speeds of up to 100 mph — to help pinpoint and cushion even the smallest sources of annoying noise. Add to that the inset design for the front and rear side doors to help reduce interior noise, and advanced sound-deadening materials to insulate the vehicle. The result? One quiet ride.
Flex Handling
The independent rear suspension is engineered so that the movement, or angle, of one wheel does not directly affect the other. Each wheel functions independently to absorb the effects of bumps and potholes. It’s a big reason Flex rides so smoothly and handles so confidently.
Comfortably Low Step-In Height
The low body profile has the design effect of a customized vehicle. But Ford designers had more in mind than style. Your experience of comfort begins when you're getting in and ends when you're getting out. Not a step bar in sight. They simply aren’t needed. Three rows of comfortable Flex seating and flexible cargo space await you and your passengers. So slide right in. And enjoy the ride.
Easy Fuel™ Capless Fuel Filler
The standard class-exclusive* Easy Fuel™ capless fuel filler has an integrated spring-loaded flapper door that allows you to simply insert the fuel nozzle into the tank to fill up. No screw cap is required. And because Easy Fuel™ automatically seals after the fuel nozzle is removed, fewer evaporative emissions are released into the environment.
3.5L EcoBoost™ Engine
Increasing performance at the expense of fuel economy is easy enough. But that concession is not in the thinking of Ford’s no compromise approach to engineering. Excellent case in point: the available EcoBoost™ twin turbo charged, direct-injected V6 engine. The economy of a V6 with the power of a V8 — that’s what EcoBoost™ delivers,* and it can do it with regular (87 octane) fuel. How is this achieved? EcoBoost™ combines Direct Injection (DI) technology and turbocharged performance. DI is designed to produce a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel. The boost from the twin turbochargers provides the enhanced performance you’d expect from a
higher displacement engine. Also contributing to the engine’s efficiency: gear ratios that are calibrated for more low- end torque (max. @1,500 rpm) along with increased overdrive economy; and a power steering system that doesn’t drain engine power. The 3.5L EcoBoost™ V6 engine, available on Flex SEL, Limited and Titanium,** is teamed with the traction and handling of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

3.5L Duratec® V6 engine
The standard 3.5L Duratec® V6 that powers Flex features dual overhead cams activating four valves per cylinder with advanced variable-cam timing technology, generating 262 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. This advanced V6 is mated to an equally advanced 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a wide span of gear ratios across the six speeds, providing responsive acceleration at the low end and enhanced fuel economy at the overdrive 6th gear.*
Sony® Audio System
Want a really awesome sound system that's designed for the automotive environment? Then listen up. It's a Sony® brand* unit with 390 watts of power and 12 premium speakers. It's standard in Limited and Titanium**, and optional in SEL — and just one more reason you won't want to leave the comfort of your Flex.
Ambient Lighting
Choose lighting that fits your mood with the 7-color programmable ambient lighting feature that's standard in the Limited and Titanium models.* You can change the lighting color in several combined locations around the interior, giving you a new look that’s quick and easy.
MyKey™
The new programmable MyKey™ feature, standard on all Flex models, provides a number of features to help you make driving safer for young drivers. The audio system will be muted whenever BeltMinder™ is activated until the safety belts are buckled. Low fuel warnings are displayed in the message center followed by a chime when the distance-to-empty value reaches 75 miles. The standard Reverse Sensing System cannot be turned off. These features are standard settings and cannot be changed. The following MyKey features, however, can be changed. Vehicle speed is limited to 80 mph, and visual warnings are displayed followed by a chime when speed exceeds it. Visual warnings are displayed followed by a chime when a pre-selected speed of 45, 55 or 65 mph is exceeded. The maximum volume of the audio system is limited to 45 percent; MyKey Volume Limited will be displayed in the radio or, if equipped, the navigation screen when someone tries to increase the volume limit. MyKey won’t affect the AdvanceTrac® electronic stability control system if it’s set to “on.” Deactivation of this system is prevented.
Active Park Assist
It was a driver’s training nightmare, but with Active Park Assist, parallel parking can be easy and quick. While some competitors only use imaging, Flex employs ultrasonic sensors on the vehicle. With a push of a button and an activation of your turn signal, the system locates any available parking spaces. Once a spot is located, Flex quickly parks into place with a few simple steps from the driver. In fact, it’s nearly three times faster than other vehicles with
similar parking technologies. Active Park Assist is available on vehicles powered by the available 3.5L EcoBoost™ V6 engine.
The only time Flex plays it safe.
The 2010 Flex earned the highest government crash test ratings in frontal- and side-impact crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So it’s no surprise that Flex was also named a “Top Safety Pick” by the IIHS. With advanced features like available All-Wheel Drive and a standard anti-lock brake system and AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™, Flex is engineered to help keep you safe and in control.
5-Star Crash Safety Rating
The 2010 Ford Flex received a 5-star rating* in all four (driver/right front passenger and rear passenger seating positions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the highest crash test rating awarded.
AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®), standard on Flex, is the only stability control system with gyroscopic sensors measuring both vehicle roll and turning rates. Corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object and RSC applies brake pressure and reduces engine power to help keep you under control.* And it all happens in the time it takes to blink an eye. Flex offers the Trailer Sway Control feature that works with the AdvanceTrac® with RSC® System, you also have excellent control over what you’re towing. It uses the sensor that measures yaw motion to determine if the trailer is swaying. If necessary, Trailer Sway Control applies precise braking or adjusted engine torque to help bring both vehicle and trailer under control. Trailer Sway Control is included in the Class III Trailer Tow Package, available on all models.
Six Standard Airbags
Flex provides dual-stage front seat airbags along with the advanced energy management features included in the Personal Safety System®. Standard also are front seat-mounted side impact airbags. And there's The Safety Canopy® System with rollover sensor and side curtain airbags that helps protect outboard occupants in all three rows. This system has "roll-fold" technology: the curtain airbag is designed to position itself between the occupant's head and side window glass.
4-Wheel Disc ABS
The smooth and straight stopping action of 4-wheel disc Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is standard on every Flex. But braking isn't ABS's only task. The AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ applies the anti-lock brakes as one of the measures it takes to help improve traction.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
It's very important to check your tire pressure regularly to keep all four inflated within the manufacturer's specified pressure range, because tire pressure affects ride comfort, safety, and fuel economy. That's why Flex comes equipped with a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Rear View Camera
Both Flex Limited and Titanium models* are equipped with a standard Rear View Camera. The camera automatically displays an image of what's behind you on the center dash display panel when you put the gearshift selector in reverse. It also displays red, yellow and green guidelines which line up with the white lines of a parking space, helping to guide you in.
