Side airbags are standard instead of optional on 2007 versions of this car-type SUV. Freestyle is essentially a wagon version of the Ford Five Hundred sedan. Both share a basic architecture originated by Ford-owned Volvo. Freestyle comes in SEL and Limited models. Both are available with front-wheel drive or with all-wheel drive that lacks low-range gearing. The sole powertrain teams a 203-hp V6 with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). ABS is standard. Traction control is standard with AWD, optional with front-drive. No antiskid system is offered. Standard seating is for six and includes 2nd-row buckets and a 3rd-row bench that folds into a floorwell. An available 60/40 split folding 2nd-row bench increases capacity to seven. Freestyles have a fold-flat front passenger seatback. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment are now standard; they had been optional. Among other available features: power-adjustable pedals, DVD entertainment, navigation system, and rear obstacle detection.
