Ford Flex
The Flex and its unique looks are back unchanged for 2014, be it in SE, SEL or Limited trims. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6, optional on the AWD Limited, gains a few horses for a total of 365 (torque is rated at 350 lbs.-ft.). Another V6, a 3.5L making 287 horsepower and 254 lbs.-ft. of torque equips the majority of these edgy crossovers, either with front- or all-wheel drive. All versions come with a six-speed automatic transmission.
