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.
