Pros: The Ford Flex offers plenty of interior space, plus the entire lineup of Ford gadgets and interior technology you’ve come to know and love. Cons: While the Flex may appeal to those in need of a family vehicle who don’t want to purchase a minivan, the look of the Flex is starting to get a bit dated and is boxy by today’s vehicle design standards. 2015 Ford Flex Price and Fuel Economy: There are three versions of the 2015 Ford Flex available and they are as follows: - 2015 Ford Flex SE $30,899
