History

The Ford Flex was introduced in 2005 as a concept vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show, based on Ford's D4 platform. It was unveiled in production form at the New York Auto Show in 2007 and entered production in June 2008. The Flex was designed to replace the Ford Freestar and Ford Taurus X, combining features of a minivan and an SUV. It was assembled at the Oakville Assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, alongside the Lincoln MKT, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKX models. The Flex was marketed in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Middle East, with total production reaching approximately 300,000 units. (en.wikipedia.org)

The Ford Flex was produced over a single generation from 2009 to 2019. In 2013, the model underwent a mid-cycle facelift, with revisions to the front and rear while retaining the original roofline and doors. The model name was spelled out on the hood above the revised grille, without the Ford emblem on the front face. Inside, the dashboard was updated with a new three-spoke steering wheel. The 2019 model featured minor changes and marked the end of Flex production. (en.wikipedia.org)
