> 2012 Flex Features: Technology

The available EcoBoost™ twin turbo charged, direct-injected V6 engine delivers the fuel economy of a V6 with the power of a V8. How is this achieved? EcoBoost™ combines Direct Injection (DI) technology and turbocharged performance. DI is designed to produce a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel. The boost from the twin turbochargers provides the enhanced performance you'd expect from a higher displacement engine. Also contributing to the engine's efficiency: gear ratios that are calibrated for more low-end torque** (max. @1,500 rpm) along with increased overdrive economy; and a power steering system that doesn't drain engine power. The 3.5L EcoBoost™ V6 engine, available on Flex Limited and Titanium, is teamed with the traction and handling of Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.

*EPA-estimated 16 city/23 hwy / 18 combined mpg. **Power ratings: 355 hp @ 5,700 rpm; 350 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1,500-5,250 rpm with premium fuel.

It was a driver’s training nightmare, but with Active Park Assist, parallel parking can be easy and quick. While some competitors only use imaging, Flex employs ultrasonic sensors on the vehicle. With a push of a button and an activation of your turn signal, the system locates any available parking spaces. Once a spot is located, Flex quickly parks into place with a few simple steps from the driver. Active Park Assist is available on vehicles powered by the available 3.5L EcoBoost™ V6 engine.
