The 2020 Ford Flex is a three-row crossover SUV that has so much to offer. As its name suggests, this model is very flexible and it can be used for various purposes. For the start, the interior can accommodate seven passengers and is a real family favorite. It mixes wagon-like proportions with the retro SUV styling, and some will mistake Ford Flex for a minivan.

The upcoming 2020 Ford Flex comes with a really unique design that is hard to compare with. Its blocky appearance will remain, just like the low ride height. Generally, the exterior will stay intact, but some changes will happen. An optional power tailgate will come as standard now while the Multipanel Vista Roof remains as an option. Some new character lines are slightly changed and the exterior upgrades are kept to a minimum.

Second and optional configuration can produce up to 365 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, in order to improve trailering and tow rating. Additionally, there is an optional package that can help new 2020 Ford Flex to tow up to 4,500 pounds.
Withdrawal of the 2020 Ford Flex is under consideration?
After the 2020 model, the situation about the Ford Flex is a no-brainer. Ford will either withdraw this crossover or the production will continue in 2021. However, according to Detroit Free Press, Ford is planning to ditch the 2020 Ford Flex.
It is yet unclear when will that happen because, in reality, it could happen in three or four years. The same reports are suggesting the Blue Oval company is focusing on models such as Ford Edge and Lincoln MKC.
