Albuquerque, NM -- (SBWire) -- 04/25/2012 --Don Chalmers Ford of Albuquerque is happy to share that Kelley Blue Book has named the Ford Flex as one of the “10 Best Family Cars of 2012.” Equipped with ample seating and a surplus of available add-ons and upgrades, the 2012 Ford Flex found its place as one of KBB’s top picks.

In a time when most CUVs try to disguise themselves as SUVs, the 2012 Ford Flex certainly separates itself from the competition. Its long, boxy exterior design parallels that of station wagons from decades gone by, but there is no denying that there is something appealing about the Flex’s unique styling. And although it may look slightly bulky compared to other CUVs, the Ford Flex is surprisingly maneuverable thanks in part to features like Ford’s AdvancedTrac electronic stability and traction control and Roll Stability Control, in addition to the available all-wheel drive.

The 2012 Ford Flex also offers a quality driver and passenger experience. This seven-passenger CUV has minimal road noise and features like the available center-console refrigerator, SYNC communication system, voice-activated navigation, and four-panel Vista skylight make the Flex’s interior as unique as its exterior.

The 2012 Flex is available in four trim levels, offering two powertrain options. The standard 3.5-liter V6 produces 262 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, delivering exceptional fuel-economy at 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. An EcoBoost V6 option is available on SEL, Titanium, and Limited trims, producing 355 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
