It hasn't been the most popular seven-seat crossover SUV, but the Ford Flex does something unique: it delivers all the functionality and safety of better-selling crossovers, in a boxy wrapper that's part homage to Range Rovers, MINIs, and Fairlanes. It's a witty counter-take on the roundness of today's utes, one that actually puts its standout shape to good use by fitting it with an exceptionally comfortable interior and state of the art infotainment systems--without forgetting an enjoyable driving experience.

The Flex does a great impression of the station wagons of the past, and steers clear of the cliches that drive people away from minivans. It's a boxy vehicle, but in the best senses of the word. It doesn't mute those corners, it plays them up, running grooves down its flanks to draw attention to its long, glassy greenhouse and angling off its headlamps to call out its rectangular grille. The retromodern fusion works like a charm, down to the USB-port wink and nod in the grille. The interior is one of Ford's best, with a mix of materials matching up well, blending LCD screens and touch controls in a serene way.

Ford has made good on the Flex's look by giving it good handling and strong performance. The base 3.5-liter V-6 makes 287 hp, but the star of the lineup remains the turbocharged, 365-hp EcoBoost Flex, which runs off 0-60 mph times of under seven seconds and lightens up the Flex's footwork, making it faster than anything in the class. Thanks to a new electric power steering system, a quicker ratio, and a steering unit that's now locked onto the subframe, steering feel is more precise, while a host of improvements improve ride harshness and keep the cabin much quieter from road noise.
