The 2013 Ford Flex features a revamped grille treatment that is part of a larger trend to establishing a new identity for the Blue Oval.
Gone is the three-bar grille treatment that was used across the board on both cars and trucks. On the truck and people mover side, look for this new mail-slot treatment on the front grille as well as bold lettering to identify the particular model. On the car side, the three-bar grille is being replaced by a trapezoidal shape introduced on the Fiesta and Focus and which will be adapted to the larger Taurus and Fusion for the 2013 model year.
Besides changing its grille, the 2013 Ford Flex also features more muscle under the hood, a gain of 20 bhp on the standard 3.5-liter V-6 for a total of 285. The optional 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 remains at 355 bhp. Other changes include the addition of push-button start, rear inflatable seat belts, rain-sensing wipers, active park assist and adaptive cruise control.
