5 reasons why the 2019 Ford Flex is a great family vehicle
A unique and remarkable member of the family of Ford SUVs is
the 2019 Flex. Combining the best attributes of a station wagon, a minivan, and
a sport utility vehicle, selecting 5 family-friendly 2019 Ford Flex features is
an easy task.
Shaped like a wagon, offering the high seating position of a
crossover sport utility vehicle, outfitted with many of the features of a
minivan, all the while driving like a luxury car, the 2019 Ford Flex is the best
family vehicle on the road today. Available in three trim levels, SE, SEL, and
Limited, each with its own appointments and features, there’s a Flex for every
family. And here are five good reasons why:
- Seating and Access
With room for seven, there’s plenty of passenger room inside
the Flex with the full-width second and third-row seats. If you’re looking for
more spaciousness for your second-row passengers, order your Flex with
second-row captain’s chairs instead. And getting into and out of the Flex isn’t
like climbing aboard an SUV. Flex features a normal ride height. Ingress and
egress are just like that of a passenger car, with four separate doors. The
easy access to the family-friendly Ford Flex also makes fitting child safety
seats easier.
- Outstanding Outward
Visibility
An advantage of the rectilinear shape of the 2019 Ford Flex
is its large expanses of glass in all directions. From the driver’s position, there
is almost a full 360-degrees of visibility and blind spots are negligible.
Further, all your passengers, including smaller children, can easily see out of
the Flex, making trips more enjoyable for everyone.
- Generous Cargo Capacity
The Flex stands out against many other family SUVs in its
cargo-carrying capabilities. Even with all three-rows occupied, Flex can carry
20 cubic feet of whatever your family needs to carry (for comparison’s sake,
two paper grocery bags takes up about 2 cubic feet). Fold the third-row, you’ll
pick up an additional 23.2 cubic feet. Fold the second-row also, and you’ll be
looking at an absolutely cavernous 83.2 cubic feet of space. The
family-friendly Ford Flex features a deep well along with cargo hooks to secure
smaller items. But wait, it gets even better; the 2019 Ford Flex can tow up to
4,500 pounds when properly equipped, so there’s even more opportunity to bring
all your gear along.
- Comfort and Quietness
On the road, you’ll be amazed by how much the Ford Flex
rides like a luxury car, due to its long wheelbase and wide stance. Wind noise
is minimal, the engine is quiet, and the cabin is free of squeaks and rattles.
Further, all seven seating positions are comfortable, and even more so with the
available second-row captain’s chairs.
- Easy Handling
Flex provides the utility and high seating position of an
SUV with the flexibility of a minivan and combined them with the ride height
and driving manners of a well-designed station wagon. Perhaps the most
remarkable of the 5 family-friendly Ford Flex features is even with all of
these qualities, the Flex still drives and handles like a reasonably sized car.
While we’re limited to five attributes, the list could easily
go on and on, with a suite of advanced safety features and the latest in
connectivity, navigation, and infotainment hardware. The best way to experience
all the incredible standard and available features in the 2019 Ford Flex is to come
test drive on at any of the Southern
California Ford Dealerships.
