The 2009 Ford Flex is an all-new midsize SUV. This boxy 4-door wagon shares some of its basic design with Ford's Edge and Taurus X crossover SUVs and is available in three trim levels: base SE, midlevel SEL, and top-line Limited. All trim levels come with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on the SEL and Limited. Flex is distinguished not only by its squared-off shape but by contrasting roof and body colors and use of exterior chrome accents. Flex seats either six or seven on three rows of seats. Power comes from a 262-hp 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Some of Flex's other features include a rearview camera, power liftgate, voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic and weather updates, four-panel glass roof, and refrigerated center console. Other available features include Ford's Sync, which is a voice-activated system that controls some cell phone and MP3 player functions, and a capless fuel filler.
